Wicked Wonderland is a curio shop in Orange City co-owned by a 52-year-old woman and her business partner. According to reports, in December 2023, the Orange City Police Department received a call from someone who wanted to report the business for allegedly listing and selling what they believed were authentic human bones on Facebook Marketplace. An investigation was opened, and the police checked out the business’s profile page. They reported that they saw multiple posts advertising pieces of human bones for sale, including two small skull fragments, a clavicle, a scapula, a rib, a piece of vertebrae, and a larger chunk of skull.

The police talked to the 53-year-old about the situation, and the woman reportedly said she bought the bones from private sellers and believed the transactions were legal since they were meant for educational purposes.
