- Her husband Juan Perón was overthrown by the military three years after Evita's death
- Location of Eva’s body was a mystery for 16 years
- In 1971, Eva’s body was discovered in a grave under a false name outside of Rome, Italy. The body was flown to Spain where Perón was living.
- Perón and his wife kept the corpse in an open casket on the dining room table and his third wife, Isabel, combed the Eva's hair every night in a daily act of devotion. (WHAT?!?!?!?!?)
- In 1987, thieves broke into Juan Perón tomb and sawed off his hands with a chainsaw. (WHAT?!?!)
This is no bed time story, I couldn't believe what I was hearing! After the quick Eva Perón briefing by La Casa Rosada we moved closer to the Historic Plaza de Mayo, home of the weekly Madres de la Plaza de Mayo protests.
