HEBRON — Dr. Fred Jordan, deputy chief medical examiner for Maine, recently briefed the Hebron Historical Society on the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995.

As chief medical examiner for Oklahoma in 1995, Jordan gave detailed accounts of the forensic findings of that disaster.

Jordan personally experienced the Oklahoma Federal Building blast, his office being nearby, and was a key member of the team coordinating the initial response and documentation procedures of victims injuries.

Ante-mortem and post-mortem data were merged to confirm the identity of all victims.

Of historical interest to Maine, Jordan also recounted the story of Maine native Elmer McCurdy, who went to Colorado and Oklahoma in the 1870s. There he joined a train-robbing gang and became an infamous desperado.

He was subsequently shot by a sheriff’s posse and embalmed until someone who claimed to be his brother took possession of his body.

Decades later the skeletal remains of a real mummified body were found hanging in a fun house in Los Angeles during the filming of the “Million Dollar Man.”

Through detailed forensic analysis of the remains with bullet fragment dating and trajectory analysis along with the mummy ownership history, it was traced back to Oklahoma and identified as that of Elmer McCurdy. McCurdy’s body was finally returned to Maine in 1963 for proper burial.

The Tuesday, Sept. 24, society meeting will feature author Annette Vance Dorey, who will discuss her book, “Maine’s Earliest Female Physicians,” at 7 p.m. at the Hebron Town Office. The public is invited.
