The Empty Grave Podcast | Episode 4: "The Army Wants to Look at Some Bodies"

Professor Robert Jordan was among the few people still on the campus of St. George’s University in November of 1983, in the days after the U.S. invasion of Grenada. One day a strange request came in: The U.S. military wanted to use his anatomy lab at the university for a forensic exam.
Martine Powers visits what is left of the old lab and hears the professor’s story about what he saw that day. What transpired in that examination 40 years ago has raised serious questions about the identity and condition of the remains recovered from the pit at Calivigny.
Later in the episode, Martine puts some of those questions to the “Grenada 17,” the individuals held responsible for the murder of Maurice Bishop and the others killed with him. She asks: What did they do with the bodies? And could they be omitting information that could explain the mystery?

I have one question..... was the pit where the bodies were burned on Oct 19th left open to the elements for over a week before being recovered by the US army? Why has no one suggested that scavanging animals took parts of the bodies and broke bones open for the marrow? In particular, dogs in Grenada are usually free to roam as they please. The maggots being present when the body parts were examined would suggest they were open to the elements. This seems like a very likely explanation that is not being addressed.
