AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The University of Texas at Austin is missing about 100 brains — about half of the specimens the university had in a collection of brains preserved in jars of formaldehyde.


quote:

One of the missing brains is believed to have belonged to clock tower sniper Charles Whitman.


quote:

"We think somebody may have taken the brains, but we don't know at all for sure," psychology Professor Tim Schallert, co-curator of the collection, told the Austin American-Statesman


Umm... great observation there doc..

That's the first place they looked. Why you think they're missing?

IIRC they found a brain tumor that caused his erratic behavior.

This seems like quite the operation, I mean wouldn't this have made a serious scene? Regardless of the time of day, wouldn't someone have seen SOMETHING???

Not if they took a bucket every few days or so. The brains probably don't get brought out very often, so it's possible someone walked in one day and realized that a couple shelves were empty.
