Geronimo's kin sue Skull and Bones
 
This isn't technically a GLO, but secret societies are close enough, I think.
Geronimo's kin sue Skull and Bones

Relatives of legendary Apache want secret Yale group to turn over remains


Quote:

HARTFORD, Connecticut - Geronimo's descendants have sued Skull and Bones — the secret society at Yale University linked to presidents and other powerful figures — claiming that its members stole the remains of the legendary Apache leader decades ago and have kept them ever since.

The federal lawsuit filed in Washington on Tuesday — the 100th anniversary of Geronimo's death — also names the university and the federal government.

Geronimo's great-grandson Harlyn Geronimo said his family believes Skull and Bones members took some of the remains in 1918 from a burial plot in Fort Sill, Okla., to keep in its New Haven clubhouse, a crypt. The alleged graverobbing is a longstanding legend that gained some validity in recent years with the discovery of a letter from a club member that described the theft.

Interesting, although I don't think they will winthe suit, whether there is validity or not.
