True Crime
No, he didn't. He still died in Kansas city, however once his identity was discovered, his family received all sorts of calls and letters from people claiming to either be Artemus, or people who claimed to have known him. One of those calls cam from a man who said Ogletree saved him in a fight, where he lost his thumb. He was unable to write due to that, oh, and he also jumped on a ship, sailed to Egypt, and married a wealthy woman. Yeah, none of that actually happened. It was either some kind of weird joke, or somebody trying to cover their tracks, a theme that pops up once or twice.
Beyond those phone calls and letters, an anonymous party called the funeral home that housed Ogletree's body and paid for a proper funeral - this was before his identity was truly known. The woman on the phone claimed he was essentially killed because he was cheating on his fiancée; again this is unsubstantiated, but they did come through and pay for a proper funeral.
In the end, this is one weird ass case with quite a bit of intrigue to it.
