John Dillinger to be Exhumed

[Trigger Time]

I hadn't heard about that either. I should have thought, "Follow the Money!". The History Channel got a lot of sponsors to support the search for Bigfoot and Aliens. I don't think that they have found either!

Oh I 100% believe in aliens. Theres been plenty of non crazy and intelligent professionals who have swore to their existance. Even former U.S. presidents have talked about the existence of ET's. So if one day flying saucers appear on the horizon in force I wont be surprised in the slightest.
If dillinger isn't in that grave, I'd be shocked.
Finding out the govt killed jfk, not surprised.
9/11 a hoax, come on, thats just crazy talk

This will be just another "Hunt For" show. They have run out of ideas for "Hunt for Civil War Gold . . . Nazi Gold show" etc, etc, etc.

There was a discussion on the WIBC last night about this. Someone else in his extended family said that it is believed he wasnt killed in Chicago and has been living in Florida since. He would be 95 now.
On a personal thought I bet that there is some TV channel or whatnot picking up the tab on this. Next year we will probably be seeing some sort of documentary about it.

He would be 116 now.

I dated a girl from up around Fort Wayne back in the 80's.....Her dad was DA for Allen County.....She was kin to Dillinger and her aunt and mom told me that it wasn't Dillinger they killed at the Biograph....

For what that's worth....

I have a book about historical events and there is a chapter on Dillinger. The book claims it wasn't Dillinger that was actually shot and killed. The book claims Dillinger went to Hollywood and worked in the film industry until his "actual" death in 1963.

Interesting Dillinger connection. My grandfather said the FBI came to his house in New Castle one night in 1933. My grandfather was 12 years old in 1933. They asked him questions about Dillinger and his gang. Allegedly, my grandfather's middle sister was dating a member of Dillinger's gang. My grandfather said he really didn't know anything. I asked him what he told the FBI. His response, "I didn't tell them anything. I'm not a snitch."

Several people from that era claimed Dillinger used to hide out in New Castle and Henry County, as well as Muncie and Delaware County.

So the theory is what? He was scared straight and gave up the life of crime?

He might not have been killed at the Biograph, but sure is his body in morgue.... or they were turning out great fakes in the 1930s.

His nephew made the request. I wonder if it’s something to do with DNA testing. You think there is any money associated with Dillinger’s name?

Yes and yes.

Boy, I will feel a LOT safer once they get this figured out...

Breaking news- kooky conspiracy theories didn't begin with the internet. Details at 11.

The Soviet's did a pretty good job of fakes back in 1947 at Roswell, NM.....

The Family does a good job trying to cash in on anything with Dillinger name. They managed to close 2 Dillinger Museums looking for their "cut". Big John D. got his demise from crime. Enough already. He wasnt #1 Fugitive for being a cupcake.

I think the History Channel either needs to use Geraldo Rivera or else that Ancient Aliens guy in the documentary...

I remember a story that Dillinger was pretty well "endowed" and that Hoover cut his particulars out and had it stored in a jar of formaldehyde.

Now, if that's true...might be an easy autopsy if the guy still has all his twigs and berries.

 

[Alamo]

His nephew? So one of my siblings kids and have me dug up on a whim?

...No sir, I don't like it.

So arrange for one of your buddies to quietly swap your body out, just before burial, for a sign that says "What are looking in here for?" with a "I <3 Florida" bumper sticker on it. If nephew gets curious you will become family legend for generations.

My dad grew up in Columbia City during the depression and was one of six kids so feeding a family of eight was tough. Even though they still fed hobos that came to the back door at supper time. My grandmother would make a plate of food for the hobos and tell them to leave the plate on the back porch when they were done. One night they fed a "hobo" the usual way, but the next day John Dillinger's picture was in the Columbia City newspaper. Yes, it was the same person who they had fed the evening before. I'm not sure the year this happened, but Dillinger was on the run in northern Indiana at the time.
