Sue

In 1990, about fifty miles from my current assignment, work crews found Sue's remains. By the time she was discovered, only a skeleton was left. Most of her body was covered with earth and debris, so recovery of the body was painstakingly slow. Ultimately, only about 90% of the body was recovered. A foot, an arm, and a few ribs and vertebrae were still missing. Nevertheless, there was ample evidence to identify the body. After a long custody dispute, the body was eventually sent to Chicago, where it remains today. Nevertheless, casts of the remains were returned to South Dakota, and they are currently on display with the remains of others who have been found in the area. I went to explore this exhibit and took some photos. Enjoy.
