The world is not allowed to know where he is buried because the people who have authority over that knowledge have chosen not to share it.

That choice is not a failure.

It is an exercise of sovereignty over the most intimate question available: where is our dead?

The outside world has spent nearly 150 years trying to find the answer through research, investigation, and physical searching.

The inside world has spent nearly 150 years maintaining the protection through selective knowledge, deliberate non-disclosure, and the continuation of a family decision made in September 1877.

The inside world is winning.
