Ned Kelly escapes!

Australia's most notorious outlaw Ned Kelly, dead for 126 years, is again eluding authorities.

Kelly, who became a folk hero of Australia's colonial past with his gangs' daring bank robberies and police shoot outs, was hanged for his crimes in 1880 and buried in a mass prison grave.

But now authorities say Kelly has again gone missing -- his remains that is. It seems Kelly's remains were dug up during drainage works in the 1950s and discarded.
