You don't need to rob the dead of money to be a grave thief. Digging up the deceased can rob them of their dignity, humanity, repose and peace if done for no reason but to satisfy reckless inquisitiveness and a desire to further one's twisted and distorted reputation.
Let the dead rest.
Unless there is proof that may indict or convict someone still living for a crime or murder, digging up a grave such as Houdini's or the Borden's proves nothing at all except to delight the invaders contorted curiosity.
Mr. Starrs let the dead rest in peace. Have some respect.
I figured it out!
I see the link is really from the Topc Area "Fall River and Its Environs." viewtopic.php?t=2672
Very interesting in that context and fascinating discussion there MB thanks!

Am I missing something?
I will go to Mondo Lizzie now.
Old geezers read this in a newspaper. Starrs wanted to look into this.
This should be rejected because after 80 years there can be no investigation or court case to solve any possible crime.
Idle curiosity is not reason enough to do this. In fact, not my opinion.
Thanks for the heads-up, Michael, interesting article. Though I don't think much will come from any new findings with Houdini's death, it will still be something to hear of their findings.
Theres also a wonderful set of videos on MondoLizzie of a play called Lizzie's Tempest. The actress who portrays Bridget/Maggie is wonderful!
