description: "Elmer J. McCurdy was an American outlaw who was killed in a shoot-out with police after robbing a train in Oklahoma in October 1911. Dubbed \"The Bandit Who Wouldn't Give Up\", his mummified body was first put on display at an Oklahoma funeral home and then became a fixture on the traveling carnival and sideshow circuit during the 1920s through the 1960s. After changing hands several times, McCurdy's remains eventually wound up at The Pike amusement zone in Long Beach, California, where they were discovered by crew members for the television series The Six Million Dollar Man and positively identified in December 1976."
