Description
Inside a small museum dedicated to the history and legacy of law enforcement in Los Angeles, California, is a small, innocuous cardboardbox. It's filled with cards bearing names, locations, and other evidence related to a still-unsolved murder that gripped the nation in the middle of the last century. Does this box still contain any clues that could solve this sensational case? Among the grotesque anatomical oddities and strange medical tools at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, IL is the strange bust of a figure more monster than man. But although the features seem out of proportion, this sculpture was modeled on a real person. Who was he, and what is the explanation for his seemingly incongruous nickname, the French Angel? The State Historical Society in Madison, Wisconsin contains one twisted piece of cast iron that on first glance looks like nothing more than a rusted hunk of junk. But it's a crucial piece of evidence in a deadly terrorist attack that shook America during one of its most trying eras. Where was it found, and what role did it play in that deadly event?For even more Mysteries at the Museum, head to discovery+. Go to discoveryplus.com/mystery to start your 7-day free trial today.
