a secret society named after a skull somehow misplaced a skull, and we all just moved on
Pancho Villa's Skull Has Been Missing For 100 Years And No One Knows Who Took It
Pancho Villa, the Mexican revolutionary born in 1878 in Durango, was buried in Parral, Chihuahua, after his 1923 assassination. In 1926, grave robbers opened his tomb and took his skull, leaving the rest of the body behind. An American soldier, Emil Holmdahl, was arrested but released for lack of evidence. Theories since have blamed Yale's Skull and Bones society, reportedly for Prescott Bush, or American scientists studying his brain. The skull has never been found.
