Michael Todd's reburial
The Wikipedia article on Mike Todd claims that his remains were reburied in an undisclosed location following a grave robbery. However, the author of this article on Elizabeth Taylor and Todd's death told me that when he was doing research on the article, he called a cemetery attendant who denied that Todd's remains were ever moved to a secret location. I would trust the cemetery attendant, but haven't found anything online debunking that rumor, so I can't currently provide any references. How can I solve this mystery and set things right on the Wikipedia page?

Thanks.

 * The Mike Todd article cites this newspaper article for the information that the body was reburied in a secret location. Since the source you provided above indicates that this was not so, the best thing to do is to leave add the following sentance: "The Forest Park Review, some 34 years later, reported that his body was not moved to a secret location, and that such claims were only a rumor." and provide an inline cite to the article you cited.  That way, we don't make any attempt to decide who is correct.  Simply re-report what the reliable sources say, and leave it to the reader to make up their own mind.  -- Jayron  32  20:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
