Arians orchestrated an exhumation of Reed's body in 2005, and an analysis by forensic anthropologists led to the shocking disclosure that the skull in the casket did not match the skeletal remains, which were those of Reed. Authorities have cast doubt on the mixed-bones scenario, but Arians has offered to allow them to review the remains. He even established a $25,000 reward for the return of Reed's skull and has speculated that her skull may be in Skridla's casket.
