INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The body of 1930s gangster John Dillinger is set to be exhumed from an Indianapolis cemetery more than 85 years after he was killed by FBI agents.

The Indiana State Department of Health approved a permit July 3 that Dillinger’s nephew, Michael C. Thompson, sought to have the body exhumed from Crown Hill Cemetery and reinterred there.

I think there was a rumor at one time that the FBI shot the wrong guy. Maybe that has something to do with this.

Jimmy Hoffa disappeared on this day in 1975. Perhaps they will find him with JD?

More likely that the nephew got a check from a tabloid to make this happen and to give them photog rights to the ‘grand opening’.

John D. can’t really make use those 14 Carat Gold capped teeth right now. He would probably want his nephew to have them, get a few bills paid down. It’s for the children!//

Probably not much to dig up at this point. Unless they do an archaeological type dig, all they are likely to end up with is what amounts to a small bag of rocks.

“Jimmy Hoffa disappeared on this day in 1975. Perhaps they will find him with JD?”

Rich Kuklinski said Hoffa was put in a car, the car was crushed to the size of a box and was sent to Japan along with thousands of other boxes of scrap metal.

Read, “The Ice Man, Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer” by Philip Carlo. Apparently, Kuklinski also was involved in quite a few famous Mafia hits.

I know they had trouble closing the coffin on the guy who wrote the Hokey Pokey because when they put his right leg in, he took his right leg out, (repeat) when they put his right leg in, he took his right leg out, Do the Hokey Pokey, . . .

Small salvation. lol

Seriously, though, what does everyone think about the “wrong man” theory? Is there any credence to it? Not up on it much, but what I did read made me wonder...

Why? Is someone using this to write a book?

My bet is on the undertaker having already gotten them.
