Ken McElroy was seen as the Skidmore, Missouri town bully. He had been in trouble most of his life but had always managed to work his way out of it. Normally, that was by intimidating victims and witnesses or by paying them off with money earned from selling livestock he'd stolen. One day in 1981, a large number of residents in the town decided that they'd had enough and Ken was shot and killed.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life, crimes, and murder of Ken McElroy. Ken was a different type of victim than most that we profile. He was not universally loved and, in fact, was generally hated by most that knew him. And when three shots were fired at Ken, killing him inside his truck, not a single person from the large crowd that witnessed it was willing to say who was responsible.
