On November 11, 1831, Nat Turner was hanged for his role in leading the bloodiest slave rebellion in United States history; however, his story did not end there. In the aftermath of his execution, Turner’s body was taken by local doctors, dissected, and his remains scattered, fueling centuries of speculation about their whereabouts-- particularly, the fate of his skull.
