In 1976 a Television crew was preparing for an on-location shoot at a Long Beach California funhouse. During the preparation, a crew member accidentally knocked the arm off of what they had previously believed to be a papier-mâché mannequin. To their surprise, this mannequin's newly dismembered arm had a bone inside. Upon closer inspection it was learned that the mannequin was also anatomically correct, complete with a wisp of pubic hair. In this episode, we'll cover Elmer McCurdy's bumbling criminal career and the events that led to his corpse becoming one of the most desecrated in America.
