About this episode
Nearly six decades after Pauline Pusser’s murder, Tennessee investigators finally reveal what really happened. The TBI’s new findings suggest Walking Tall sheriff Buford Pusser staged the ambush that made him famous — and may have killed his wife. Host Jed Lipinski follows the fallout in Adamsville as investigators, locals, and lifelong believers wrestle over one question: what happens when a legend falls?
