Hello, where can I find out more information on this? Why is the skeleton not on display?

Hi,
I worked at the Sears Tower for several years, and although I never got to see the skeleton, I can confirm that there is a basement vault.

I guess it won't do any good to point out that the role of Mrs. O'Leary's cow in starting the fire is debatable, will it? I have no idea whether the cow's skeleton is in the basement of the Sears Tower or not (why would it be?) but the cow's role in starting the fire is not proven.

As the identity of the famed "Mrs. O'Leary" is in question, I doubt this factoid.
