For years, Ken McElroy terrorized the small town of Skidmore, Missouri—stealing, assaulting, and threatening anyone who stood in his way. He was the town bully, and the law failed to stop him. Fear kept the town silent. Until one fateful day in 1981, when justice came not from a courtroom, but from the people themselves.
In this gripping episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies by Glenn P. Clinger III, we unravel the chilling story of McElroy’s lawless reign, his shocking murder in broad daylight, and the eerie silence that followed. How does a man get shot in front of dozens of witnesses—yet no one sees a thing?
Was it self-defense? Vigilante justice? Or something even darker?
Tune in as we dive deep into one of America’s most infamous unsolved crimes.
