At this point....what difference does it make
only one issue here
money
Since there is a rumor his penis was removed as a trohy makes this Discovery Network Gold.
Isn’t part of his body in a jar somewhere ?
I doubt there’s much left of him now.
Endless speculation continues, expensive and time consuming.
Will Walt Disney (and his frozen head) be next?
Indiana doesn’t want him, so don’t dig him up... ♬
My father (who was about 8 at the time) always told me he was right around the corner when this happened
What does the nephew get out of it?
Since John Dillinger was born in 1909, the second of two children and died at age 31. As such, that would make the nephew nearly 90, even if he was born AFTER Dillinger’s death in 1934.
The story of Dillinger’s legendary proportions originated with a morgue photo that circulated just after he died. There he is on a gurney, officials from the Cook County Coroner’s office gathered around, and the sheet covering him rising in a conspicuous tent at least a foot above his body, roughly around his loins, though truth be told, it looks more like where his naval should be. Probably his arm, rigid in rigor mortis, was under the sheet. No matter. It looked like he died with an enormous hard-on. Newspaper editors quickly realized how readers interpreted the photo, withdrew it, retouched it, then reprinted it in later wire-service editions, with the sheet nice and flat against the dead man’s body.
Walt was cremated, and his remains are in a modest family plot in Hollywood.

As is legendary, Dillinger saw “Manhattan Melodrama” before being gunned down. Clark Gable, William Powell, and Myrna Loy starred.

The Enquirer or the like promised to pay the relative some money for exclusive photography rights to the gruesome opening of the coffin. My guess.
had to look up the photo
