Eventually, the undertaker placed McCurdy in one of the funeral home's empty rooms and would charge people money to look at his body. Word got out and the body of McCurdy became a popular spectacle and caught the attention of a traveling carnival that wanted to buy the corpse. The mortician refused, so the carnival basically stole McCurdy's body so they could display him in their carnival oddities exhibition.

Throughout the years the body of Elmer McCurdy was bought and traded to other carnivals and somehow along the way it was thought to be a wax dummy or mannequin, not a real corpse. An amusement park in California used his body as a prop in a fun house thinking it wasn't real. Then in 1976, the gruesome discovery was made that this wasn't a prop but an actual body. His remains were sent back to Oklahoma to Guthrie to be properly buried in 'Boot Hill' at the Summit View Cemetery after finally being claimed.
