TEENAGE BEAUTY’S BODY STOLEN, PART 1 - True Story of Sinister Dr. Richards & 3 Snatchers in Sycamore

LATE BREAKING NEWS - After producing this video, I made contact with descendants of David Churchill’s family; Marilla’s. They are going to give me a lot of additional information about her and I will update that here as it comes in.
But for now, I just found out that Marilla and George had only been married a few short months when she died. Her comb was a wedding gift from her husband George. The comb was found about a foot down in the dug up grave with some of her hair in it, which was a very unusual color - still on the comb.

THIS STORY:
In 1849, the sleepy settlement of St. Charles Illinois was turned upside down by an angry mob of villagers from a neighboring town. They had descended upon this place from nearby Sycamore, to recover and avenge the dastardly body snatching of one of the town’s beloved teenage daughters.
Under the cover of darkness, three young medical students from St. Charles, riding secretly by horse and wagon, raided the gravesite and snatched her body, keeping it hidden until it could be safely brought to the school for examination. But the act did not go unnoticed, and when word spread, the residents of Sycamore became enraged. What happened next was an event now called "Richards Riot".
TODAY - The societies, museums and other historians have the wrong basic information, which would have identified the full name and tragic end of this beautiful teenage daughter. Come with us as we put the pieces of the puzzle together to find out who she truly was, and how she died, as Ron walks the cemetery and tells the entire horrific tale. If you watch closely and pay careful attention on the way, you can solve the mystery near the end, as we follow the same path that Ron took in order to figure it out.

ON NOT STEALING THE CLOTHING FROM THE BODY - It was less about that being criminal (stealing) and more about not being caught with something that one could IDENTIFY THE BODY WITH. The grave robbers did not want the relatives or anyone to be able to identify the body - Part 3 of the Marilla Trilogy is coming soon, all is explained.

The reason the clothes were left behind in the grave was because clothes, or any other item buried there, were considered "property." So while one couldn't be arrested for stealing a dead body as it's wasn't seen as property, steal the dead's stuff... one might be facing jail time. Odd, I know.

This story is so sad. I heard and been to St. Charles Missouri but never St. Charles Illinois. When I was selected for the United States National judo team, and had to go live and train at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado springs, I had another team mate named Todd Brehee from that general area of Illinois who made the national team a few months before me who I recall talking about grave robbers who was affiliated with a doctor out there. When we were going over our previous historical activity in which we often spoke about prior to visiting cities as it gave the team places to visit and such but he did not cover much about the doctor, just what occured in grave robbing. I am so happy that you explained all this in detail like you did, I am not sure if there was more than one doctor involved though but it sure seems like the same. He also gave us details of the st. Valintines massacre I recall. Oddly Todd still works for the Olympic Training Center but I believe he is a medical professional for the Olympic and national teams now of days at least last year when I contacted our old coach. Todd was the only one from Illinois that I recall. Happy Easter everyone! If you want to talk to Todd on what he knows, I could most likely have it done as we were team mates for two years. Former Olympic bronze medalist (1984 Olympics) Ed liddie who is the current coach for the last two paralympic teams and was our team captain back then works in the same office. I am sure you could get Ed liddie to have Todd reach out if you wanted any other details that he may know about it but you did a fantastic job .

[@smokey213964]

I live in Duluth and the city has been destroyed. All of its historic character has all but been leveled in favor of "affordable housing" AKA 1 room 3500 dollar a month unit's, breweries, and overpriced 1-star eateries. Not to mention our inept police force, worthless prosecutor and degenerate mayor. Did you know you can shoot someone downtown in broad daylight, with witnesses and cameras seeing you and the county attorney will let you plead out for 3 years, and that's if you have 6 felonies and have already served a 15 year murder sentence in Illinois.

Later when your looking for her grave, and you had mentioned not knowing if she had married, you also gave her maiden name, I knew you had to go back to the Churchill's plot.

Ron, this just keep me talking to you the whole time you were talking to us. I was just fascinated by the step by step solving of this beautiful girls death. I had heard the term resurrectionists but did not know who they were. Gosh I am learning so many facts about cemeteries and the people buried in them. This truly has become your new passion.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Indeed! glad you are here with us Sandra!

As an African American woman watching this, I am so glad so many people rallied together to recover and protect this poor woman, but I can’t help but realize that the same couldn’t have and wouldn’t have happened for someone who looked like me. And I was just as loved and as important as this beautiful woman was.

Hey Ron you should get an award for this one. 👍🏻 bravo my friend this was very interesting.

[@annabergman6824]

I was worried that you didnt find her but you did :) and that was good that she is with her parents. RIP Marilla When you put flashlight under her name and i saw Kinyon. I had to order the v-neck t-shirt :) cant wait to get them all.

[@kimhamilton363]

I love you're channel Ron I think you should have a show on television! You are great at storytelling 😊❤

[@MsSkymom]

I thought I read "16" below Marilla's date of death, so before you mentioned it, I wondered if that line referenced her age at death being 16. Great story, and thank you for the caution regarding rubbing gravestones (especially old ones).

[@kathybowen3607]

Thank you for all you do for all of us! Hugs!

[@victoriafinch660]

Wow, what a story! Thanks for your willingness to figure it out. I'm sitting here like a little kid with my mouth hang open and hanging on to your every word! You can tell a story so well and your research is phenomenal!

[@memorylaine]

I noticed the Churchill plot, I was waiting. I'd like to compliment you on your videos, the history/story. And more so, when you flew the drone and told the story of the land. It was wonderful. Now I can't imagine someone robbing the body of a loved one. I would lose it... Thank you.... Loved this
