Who was Ken McElroy, and what caused unidentified assassins to murder him in the tiny town of Skidmore, Missouri, on July 10th, 1981?  Ken McElroy is alleged to have lived a life of crime and intimidation, becoming a one-man organized crime plague on the Skidmore area of Missouri, victimizing many residents there.  After threatening, assaulting, and even trying to kill several residents, and with no support or satisfaction from law enforcement and the legal system, the townspeople had enough.  They formed a crowd to expel Ken McElroy from Skidmore, and in the process, he was ambushed and killed by at least two shooters.

On today's episode, Juras and Glenn examine this outrageous, baffling, and often maddening case and explore how it was that a bully like Ken McElroy could have gone so long without consequence, as well as discuss whether Ken was looking for something to happen, given how long he persisted and escalated his violence and threats, to the point that it no longer helped his criminal goals, but worked against him.
