About this episode
For decades, Sheriff Buford Pusser was celebrated as a hero who survived a brutal ambush that killed his wife, Pauline. Now, a cold-case review of the 1967 crime has revealed stunning new forensic evidence. The hosts discuss how blood spatter analysis and medical examiner findings suggest that Pauline was shot outside the car, and that Pusser's own wound may have been self-inflicted. The new evidence forces a community to grapple with a shocking question: Did the legendary sheriff murder his own wife?
