Is That John Dillinger Buried In John Dillinger's Grave?-- Part 1

From the November 30, 2019, Chicago Sun-Times "Cemetery seeks to keep body in Dillinger's grave"by John Seidel.

"When it comes to whether the body inside 1930s gangster John Dillinger's grave will actually be exhumed, Indianapolis' Crown Hill Cemetery says it has the last word.

"And the cemetery says it refuses to open the grave for 'a decades-old conspiracy theory that Dillinger was not, in fact, shot and killed by the FBI, properly identified by his family or buried at Crown Hill in 1934.' "

But, the case might ultimately be decided by a judge.

Meanwhile, the Indiana State Department of Health has given approval for the exhumation to move forward on New Year's Eve.

Two of Dillinger's descendants made national news this past summer when they said they had evidence that the person fatally shot outside Chicago's Biograph Theater on July 22, 1934, may not have been Dillinger.
