How to Exhume a Grave in Five Steps

In January of 2025, Henderick Morton first heard about a 54-year-old unidentified body in his hometown’s graveyard. Naturally, the journalism college student decided he was the one to investigate and discover the identity of this body. How to Exhume a Grave in Five Steps shows the journey of the six-month process of convincing the town and forensic anthropologists to come, exhume, and identify the unidentified victim of the first ever Amtrak derailment and begin to face how the idea of what a 19-year-old with an idea can do.
