Jim Morrison bust missing since 1988 found by chance in police raid The iconic bronze bust of The Doors frontman Jim Morrison, stolen in 1988 from his grave at Paris’ Père-Lachaise Cemetery, has been unexpectedly recovered during a police raid tied to a fraud investigation. The sculpture, created by Croatian artist Mladen Mikulin and originally placed on Morrison’s grave in 1981 to mark the 10th anniversary of his death, had vanished mysteriously.

Paris anti-corruption police discovered the bust while searching a suspect’s home. Although damaged (the nose and mouth were already missing back in 1988), the statue remains largely intact. Authorities have not disclosed who possessed it all these years.

Fans had speculated for decades about its whereabouts — now, nearly 40 years later, the mystery is solved.

I have never shared this yearbook photo online, it might not exist on the internet yet. My grandpa has great stories about what Jim was like in highschool. He even signed the back of the yearbook, I wish I would’ve taken a photo of that. I’m not a superfan of The Doors but I figured this would be the place to share it!

Rest in peace Jim ❤️ still missed

It was spooky to hear about Val Kilmer passing on the day of my pilgrimage to Pere Lachaise.
History sometimes rhymes doesn't it?

55 years since he left us already... forever in our hearts!
