Skull and Bones members in 1918 believed or claimed they had stolen Geronimo’s skull.

This claim was documented in a letter found in Yale’s own archives.

The story was part of Skull and Bones institutional lore by 1933.

Descendants of Geronimo have made public, documented requests for DNA testing that have not been accommodated.

The mystery — whether Geronimo’s remains are fully intact at Fort Sill or were disturbed in 1918 — remains open.

The Permanence Of The Mystery Without Testing

If DNA testing is never conducted — if Skull and Bones does not submit its holdings for examination, if the grave at Fort Sill is not examined with non-invasive technology, if the descendants’ calls for scientific investigation are never answered — the mystery will persist indefinitely.
