He was known more for busting cherries on pre-pubescent teen girls.


Really? Which pre-pubescent teenage girl?

The family considered the possibility that he may not be found. Have they considered whether someone in the group spoke out of turn while digging? Or that the walnut box slipped further into the hill?

Can't rule anything out.

LOL!!!!!

Hmm, maybe he ascended to heaven to be a God with Joseph? I assume they need to get started as soon as possible if they are to judge everyone at the second coming!

I bet you that lady's husband was not through with him after they buried him. He likely got to play kick ball all night.

or maybe the relatives of the MMM victims decided they wanted to play soccer.

My former boss, Robert Grow is the one funding this little stunt. I guess he's a descendant or something. (I say boss, he was just the CEO when I worked at Geneva) What is the motivation in digging him up? I'm TBM and this seems a little irreverant and self serving. Not as ignorant as Boaz's comments, but needless in my opinion.

I enjoyed reading the comments at the end of this article. Readers are wondering, since no remains can be found, does that mean that Parley has been resurrected?

If I recall correctly, Parley married that woman while she was still legally married to McLean. And his death further outraged Mormons against people from Arkansas and Missouri - right before the fated Fancher party rolled their wagon train into Utah Territory. That's what makes this episode so tragic to me.

Maybe I'm just a bastard, but does anyone else find that sentence to be funnier than Hell?

That Mclean guy was just following a true principle. Later in Utah

"Apostle George A. Smith launched a brief but interesting legal career as Egan's defense attorney. He argued it was "a principle of mountain common law that no man can seduce the wife of another without endangering his own life." The jury agreed with Smith's logic: "The man who seduces his neighbor's wife must die, and her nearest relative must kill him!"

I predict the birth of a new urban legend concerning resurrection.
