KANSAS CITY, Mo., September 5, 2001 (LSN.ca) - An FBI probe launched in March last year has concluded "after thorough review of the issue" that "there was no violation of federal statutes" by the marketing of aborted baby body parts. The investigation looked into the case of Miles Jones, a broker between abortion clinics supplying body parts and those interested in the body parts - ostensibly for research purposes.
Police were alerted to the situation by an ABC "20/20" documentary, which interviewed Jones and his macabre but lucrative harvesting arrangement with a Planned Parenthood abortuary in Kansas. Jones had a price list for baby body parts asking $999 for a brain, $150 for skin and $325 for a spinal cord. The ABC documentary came after news of the aborted baby parts marketing scheme was first revealed by Life Dynamics, a Texas based pro-life group.
Jones expected Canada to be the leading source of fetal body parts, especially for "late" abortions, thus "larger" babies. On hidden camera, Jones was recorded as saying about Canada: "We're actually going in there and saying to the clinic, we're going to cover some of your processing costs, and your overhead. We become a very attractive alternative to them. So ... I'm believing that they're going to be our best source for the late ones and we know where the larger ones are there."
Acting U.S. Attorney Jim Flory of Kansas said Friday, "The matter has been closed."
