Episode 111: The Decades-Long Tale of Elmer McCurdy


Listen Later

Imagine dying in 1911, not having any kin to claim your body, being embalmed, then being paraded around with circuses and your body being displayed in museums. Then after a while, people kinda just forget you were ever a human, using your body as a prop in movies and being hung from a fake gallows in a fun house. Imagine 65 years after your death you finally get identified and get a proper burial. This is the story of Elmer McCurdy, “The Bandit Who Wouldn’t Give Up”.
