Fans of Congressional Cemetery in DC and others interested in forensic anthropology should find this Washington Post article of interest:

The mystery of the missing skull is a macabre tale that includes grave-robbing, an eccentric collector, a Washington politician, a former attorney general and a mysterious skull sitting in an old tin box.

It all began around Christmas of 2003, when Bill Fecke, then manager of Washington's Congressional Cemetery, got a phone call from a man who wouldn't identify himself.

"What do you know about William Wirt's skull?" the mysterious caller asked.

Considering the uneven maintenance this cemetery has received over the years, I'm actually surprised this sort of thing doesn't happen more often.
