During Mendel’s year his papers were mainly ignored and wasn’t that famous.The missing paper was a manuscript on the laws of heredity. The missing paper that Mandel submitted to the Brunn Natural History Society (BNHS), was published but not famous and was considered priceless by the editors of BNHS, so the BNHS decided to discard of the paper. A teacher happened to spot the paper and take it out of the garbage bin. The paper stayed in the high school professors briefcase for many year until World War Two when the where abouts of the paper was lost. The paper later turned out to be in a safety deposit box of Erich Richter, who is also Mendel’s descendant, and also a Monk known in the alias as father Clamens.

The paper is currently in the custody of their lawyer who will be holding it until the court decides if the paper will go to either parties or the paper will be sent to Universities for further study.
