Any of you from up in that area in those days have any thoughts?


Yep. My dad's side of the family lived there. One of my cousins was actually a deputy that worked for Pusser and he would discuss the case from time to time. He believes Pusser's Corvette was sabotaged and it was no accident. Said the PD never could prove it.

My cousin would go with Pusser on some of his excursions. He said the film got it right - Pusser would roll up into establishments and just start destroying everything as the old baws watched. If they tried to fight, Pusser would just beat the shite out of them. Yes, they all were armed, but there was nothing they could do. Can't shoot a Sheriff in public.

As for Pusser's wife, he never discussed it much. (I would only see him at family gatherings and what not, so it's not like I talked to him frequently). I have never got the vibe that Pusser had his wife killed. That sounds like revisionist history to me, quite honestly.

With Elam, he is in contact with Hathcock.

He's getting a crap load of death threats from the Pusser fanatics. He's always got some here and there, but since they dug her up it's gone pretty crazy.

From the looks of it, he relishes such attention.

Not really, he just set out to solve it (as a Pusser fan)

He reports his findings and Pusser fans get pissed. He just won't back down. He's got that cop mentality.

Isn’t there a story out there about a run in Jimmy Buffett had with Pusser with Buffett getting some of his hair pulled out ?

I know they had a run in, but I don't really know the details.

She's dead, he's dead, unlikely anyone alive who was involved.

One of the alleged shooters, Kirksey Nix, is still alive, although he's doing life in El Reno prison on another murder charge

Indisputable evidence.


Which is?

She died of gunshot wounds, correct?

Are you contending Buford shot her, and to cover it up took 2, possibly 3 bullets to the face?

Youre full of shite

Nothings 'open'. Shes dead, Hes dead. No one will be held accountable, no matter what the result. This is NOT OPEN.

The only thing that might come of it the tarnishing of the Pusser story. Which no one cares about, or even remembers

So acting like youre protecting a source, in an ongoing case is a joke. You will just make up some lame excuse once the 'facts' have been released as to why or why not is was proven to be Buford

I’m still trying to figure out what the exhumation is going to prove. Will be interesting either way. Oh and Ham Solo is an attention whore, regardless

I love it when you hardcore conservatives don’t understand DBT at all. It’s hilarious. I’m right of the aisle but you motherfrickers are something else.

Really going out on a limb when your choices are

A - he was involved
B - he wasn’t

I’m not doubting you’ll guess correctly. I’m doubting you have any relevant information that “can’t be shared until the details are released.”

I mean at that point all the details are released so you can claim you knew any/all of that after it’s released.

Youre a lying sack of shite
quote:

A recent tip prompted a review of the case, TBI said, and they discovered that an atuopsy was never done after Pauline Pusser's death on Aug. 12, 1967.

Theyre doing an autopsy at the request of the family. Spurred on by this nuts 'facts'. My fathers entire family lives around there. I moved away when I was 15. Yes, Pusser was a sumabitch. But to do, and live thru, the things he did, he had to be one. Yes, he loved attention and told exaggerated stories about himself. He was a pro wrestler, for Petes sake

Investigators found Buford sitting behind the wheel of his car, and Pauline lying on the seat with her head in his lap. Also, 14 spent 30-caliber cartridges were scattered on the road near where Pusser was found. The Pusser car had 11 bullet holes in it. And he was shot in the face

But this 'open case' is because a nutcase wants this question to be answered
quote:

Was Pauline Pusser killed in an ambush on New Hope Road, or somewhere else?

So Pusser killed her somewhere else, Staged a phony distress call, shot 14 times up and down the road, 11 of which into a vehicle with his dead wife inside, and then crawled in the drivers seat and shot himslef in the face . . . . to possibly die before anyone could ever find him??




So you need to show your work, if you want people to believe this guy has a smoking gun. From a body hes never examined. Because clearly he doesnt have anything else, or he wouldnt need the body to prove his guesswork, now would he?
