Description

True story of a man who terrorized residents of Skidmore, MO and got away with crimes for years until he was finally shot down "in broad daylight" in the middle of town. Despite numerous witnesses, no one would talk and no one was ever charged with killing him.

Description

On July 10, 1981, Ken Rex McElroy was shot to death on the main street of Skidmore, Missouri. Forty-five townspeople watched. His wife, sitting next to him in the truck, identified the gunman. In spite of three grand jury investigations and an FBI probe, no indictments were ever issued, no trial held and the town of Skidmore has protected the killer with silence ever since.--[book jacket].
