Loveless' headless torso was discovered in a burlap sack by police in the Buffalo Cave near Dubois, Idaho, in August 1979, setting off a search for the rest of the remains or other artifacts. When his limbs were discovered in 1991 by an 11-year-old girl, researchers and students from Idaho State University began searching for his head.
His skull was never found.

Looks like somebody must have carried out some rough frontier justice on this guy
"Body found in Idaho cave more than 40 years ago identified as outlaw who escaped jail in 1916".

Yeah pretty drastic for 1916.
ReplyDeleteI'm inclined to think the dismemberment was an attempt to hide the crime though.
Since he had recently been arrested for the murder of his wife, I wonder if his last "escape" was assisted by a lynch mob.
ReplyDeleteThat 11 year old girl who "found" his limbs, yeah where was she in '16?
ReplyDeleteOh wait, sorry, too much Perry Mason.
