Mystery corpse in Long Beach fun house sparks cold case questions
A desiccated man’s body hanging in the Long Beach Pike Laugh in the Dark fun house since 1971 is identified by coroner officials as a 5 foot 3 inch, about 150 pound man killed by a chest shot. Investigators seek the previous owner of a now-defunct wax museum. The body shows early embalming, a 32-20 bullet, and is slated for cremation. A TV crew member on a Six Million Dollar Man shoot near the exhibit noted a missing arm and a protruding pin during setup.
