Enoch Lincoln
In 1991, 162 years after his death, his crypt was inspected. There were no remains. The body of Lincoln was nowhere to be found. Of course, people began to talk. Some believe that he never actually died and decided to live in secrecy. Others think that white supremacists had a hand in his death and faked the truth. Others say that state workers might have cleaned the tomb and just "forgot" to put the body back. His body has never been found.
