INDIANAPOLIS –  FBI agents seized thousands of artifacts Wednesday from a 91-year-old man’s private collection at his home in rural central Indiana and says it will return the items that were wrongfully in his possession

A dozen or so federal agents showed up at my collector friend's house a few years ago and spent 10 hours searching the place. My friend had been reported to them as someone that was known to have a "human bone artifact" in his possession. Of course there was nothing found, because there never was such an item.

Thanks Cogar. I have seen this...it is all over the Artifact forums I am on. Here is another link to the story with a home video of some of his collection. It kinda creeps me out that he had human remains in his basement including a complete skeleton. No bones in my house! I have heard there is a whole lot more to this story also.

Talk about your most interesting hoarder!  EEgads!  If he is 91 what was he still saving them for?

I wonder if he was planning to leave all of it to a relative. Maybe he was going to add himself to his own collection. Imagine inheriting that?

I'm thinking he named the skeleton and sat having drinks with it at night.   ;D
