I'm your host Joe, and today 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the unsolved murder of Ken McElroy. 8 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: Ken Rex McElroy was a resident of Skidmore, Missouri. He 9 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: died on July tenth in front of the dn G 10 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: Tavern on skid Boards Maiden Drag. The cause of death 11 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: was two bullet wounds from two different rifles, and to 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,319 Speaker 1: this day his murder is unsolved. First, let me give 13 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: you a little background on Ken uh and the events 14 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: that led up to his death. Ken McElroy was a 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: well liked local man who loved kids and dogs and 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't hurt a fly. Well, okay, not really. Ken McClay 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: was actually a pedophile, arsonist, thief, and a whole lot 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: of other things. He was a town bully and he 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: never hesitated to threaten or hurt anybody who got in 20 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: his way. He'd shot at least four people, none of 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: them fatally as far as I know, But you know, 22 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: there might have been other people that he did kill, 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: but we don't know. He was just generally a violent, 24 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: ill tempered guy. Let me tell you about Skidmore, Missouri. 25 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: It was a tiny town of about four fifty people 26 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: back in the early nineteen eighties when Kent's murder took place. 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: It's about a hundred miles north of Kansas City. It's 28 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: got two paved streets and no traffic lights. DNG Tavern 29 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: was on Elm Street, just east of Smith Street. If 30 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: you're on street, are you looking at it? I'm sure 31 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: half of you are. The dn G is that low 32 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: white building with metal siding and blue trim. It's no 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: longer the DNG Tavern. So the sign has gone, but 34 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: the building last night checked is still there. Besides the tavern, 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Skidmore has a small mom and Pops or excuse me, 36 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: had it since the stores not there anymore. It had 37 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: a small moment pop store a calf day in a 38 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: gas station. The gas station is also gone. I mean 39 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: it's still there, but it's no longer a gas station. 40 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: They've kind of fallen on hard times. Apparently they've lost 41 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: some population. Anyway, let's get back to Ken. Ken McElroy 42 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: was a one man crime spree, and I think he 43 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: had two real jobs his entire life, and he didn't 44 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: hold onto those for very long. He mostly made his 45 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: living by stealing stuff, and he always seemed to have 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: a lot of money, and in fact, not long before 47 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: he died, he bought himself a brand new Chevy Silverado 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: pickup and paid cash for it, so apparently he was 49 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: getting money from somewhere. Uh. He's His main specialty was 50 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: rustling cattle and hogs, and after his death, local law 51 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: enforcement noted that rustling in the county and actually in 52 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: all the northwestern Missouri dropped way down. He did have 53 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: one legitimate job, which was training and selling coon hounds, 54 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: and I'm told that he was actually a good dog trainer. 55 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: Peabody didn't do that full time. Ken waste of fourteen children. 56 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: He grew up poor. His family moved to Skidmore than 57 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: nine forties, about seventy acres of farmland with a house 58 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: on it, about four miles southeast as skid More So. 59 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: The houses I think three or four bedrooms, so it 60 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: was probably kind of crowded in there with fourteen kids 61 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: and two parents, Ken took up stealing animals before he 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: was eighteen. He bought an old fort sedan, took the 63 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: back seat out, reinforced the floor with plywood, and he 64 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: hadded a switch so you could shut the brake lights off, 65 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: and then started going right at night, stealing hogs all 66 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: over the northwest corner of Missouri and sometimes adventure as 67 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: far as Kansas and Iowa. Later on, Ken had enough 68 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: money to buy himself a horse trailer, and he started 69 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: stealing cattle and sometimes horses. When Ken got caught stealing, 70 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: and he occasionally did, he would use violence and threats 71 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: to keep himself out of jail. There's one time a 72 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: farmer caught him stealing two horses and the farmer reported 73 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: it to the police and he filed charges. So Ken 74 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: McElroy went to see the farmer and basically with a 75 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: rifle and but stroked him in the face with it. 76 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: The farmer dropped the charges and so Ken got off again. 77 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: Ken married his first wife when he was eighteen she 78 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: was sixteen, but being married didn't stop him from philandering. 79 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: When he was twenty years so he started dating a 80 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: thirteen year old girl named Donna, who eventually got pregnant 81 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: gave birth to a boy. By the time that this 82 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: this kid was born, Ken was dating a fifteen year 83 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: old girl named Sharon and they had a rocky relationship. 84 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: They they were having an argument, he shot her in 85 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: the neck with a shotgun, which didn't kill her, but 86 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: it did leave her with scars um and eventually Ken 87 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: divorced his first wife and married Sharon. And yes, you 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: heard that right, the guy that shot you he married him. 89 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Sharon wound up having two kids by Ken, the boy 90 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: and the girl. By the time the girl was born, 91 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: Ken mc elroy was regularly beating her and he found 92 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: himself a new girlfriend, a thirteen year old named Sally. 93 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: This was around so Ken would have been about twenty 94 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: seven dating a thirteen year old. Eventually, Ken moves Sally 95 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: into the farmhouse with him his parents is his wife Sharon, 96 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: Yeah really uh and their kids. Uh. Sally had three 97 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: kids and Sharon had two more and can't wind up 98 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: having a lot of kids. During this period, Ken was 99 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: also seeing another underage girl named Alice Wood. In n 100 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: four he looked, he left the family and took up 101 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: with her. He beat or got her pregnant, et cetera 102 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: on the usual stuff, and eventually she left the farm 103 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: with her son moved in with her mom and stepfather 104 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: in St. Joseph, which is a town not too far away. Uh. 105 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: Kim McElroy called the stepfather, whose name was Oath to 106 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: Embury and said he was coming to get his son 107 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: and that he would kill anybody who got in his way. 108 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: Embery told him to pounce, and mcarlroy shows up not 109 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: long after with the rifle and he shot Embery in 110 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: the thigh through his living room window. McElroy was arrested 111 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: for felonious assault, but there was no case without Embery's testimony, 112 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: so he started calling Embury and threatening him to kill him, 113 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: his wife, his kids. He also followed him in his car. 114 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: He'd drive slowly past his house or sometimes park outside, 115 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: and finally Kim mcboy found Embury in a bar in St. 116 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: Joe and threatened up with a knife. When that didn't 117 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: get results, he left and went to his car and 118 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 1: got a shotgun, came inside, shot the floor by Embery's feet, 119 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: and Embery still refused to drop the charges, so Ken 120 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: stormed out. He wound up getting arrested, but the charges 121 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: were dropped because none of the people in the bar 122 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: would testify against him, so I'm assuming he had a 123 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: chat with all of them too. Oh Ambury eventually dropped 124 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: his slonious assault charge. I'm assuming that he thought that 125 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: Ken would probably kill him if he didn't, so probably 126 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: best to do so. And not long after this incident, 127 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: Alice came back to live on the farm, but by 128 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: this time Ken McIlroy had a new girlfriend, trying to McLeod. 129 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: She was twelve, Kenn was in his mid thirties by 130 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: this time. She got pregnant at age fourteen and moved 131 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: on to the McElroy farm. And of course Ken was 132 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: abusive and violent with both Alice and trying him, and 133 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: at one point they took their kids and left him 134 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: and went to stay at treting his parents place. Nick 135 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: Elroy went and got them and basically forced him to 136 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: come back to the farm. He beat treating us so 137 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: badly he broke her nose and cheap bones, and then 138 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: he got himself a can of gas and a trinad 139 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: go back with him to her parents house. He went inside, 140 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: splashed gasoline all around and towards the place and then 141 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: they headed back home. At this point, you're probably wondering, 142 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: why hasn't somebody shot Ken already? Other people wondered about that. 143 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: Later after Kenn's death, the local Church of Christ minister 144 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: Tim Warren said to a reporter and I quote quote 145 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: my only regret about what happened to Ken Rex McElroy 146 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: is that somebody didn't kill him sooner unquote. You got 147 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: that town minister is glad he's dead. Oh, back to 148 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: our story. Anyway, Trina had to go to a doctor 149 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: for her injuries. Um, he was so appalled he called 150 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: juvenile authorities because that's right. At this point, Trina was 151 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: still technically a child. She and her son were put 152 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: in foster care. Mcarroy was facing charges of rape, arson 153 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: and brandishing a deadly weapon. Ken was facing a little 154 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: legal trouble by this point, but then as lawyer went 155 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: to work as lawyer, Gene McFadden once said that Ken 156 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: mcarroy was his favorite client because he was punctual, He 157 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: always paid cash, and he always came back. And you 158 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: can certainly see why. Uh, he used his usual strategy 159 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: of getting court delays and continuances and basically strung it 160 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,119 Speaker 1: out so long that by. After a while Trina came back. 161 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: She got bored with being in foster care, and so 162 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: she returned and Keim McElroy divorced his wife Sharon and 163 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: married Trina so that she couldn't be compelled to testify 164 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: against him, and she also signed a statement saying that 165 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: Chim mckelroy was guilty of nothing and that she'd been 166 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: lying before when she said that he had been beating 167 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: her and raping her and committed arson, So that kind 168 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: of got him out of that squeak. The next major 169 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: incident was in nineteen seventy six when McElroy shot a 170 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: neighboring farmer named Romaine Henry. He shot him twice in 171 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: the stomach and in the head with a shotgun. Likely 172 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: luckily most of the shot didn't actually hit Henry, and 173 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: the gun was loaded with bird shot too. He had 174 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: to go to the hospital. McElroy was arrested and once 175 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: again his lawyer wants to work and got the trial 176 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: delayed until nineteen seventy seven. In the meantime, McElroy harassed 177 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: Henry by having slowly passed his house or parking and 178 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: shining spotlight into his windows. Uh, somebody I guessing Ken 179 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: McElroy put sugar into the gas tanks of Henry's tractors. 180 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: At the trial, his lawyer, Jeane McFadden produced to witness 181 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: says he swore in her oath that they had been 182 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: with Ken McElroy at his house at the time of 183 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: the shooting. So he got off again. And then time 184 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: goes by. There were, all, of course, all kinds of 185 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: minor incidents, but the next big one happened in April. 186 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: Uh This was kind at the beginning of the end 187 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: for McElroy. Two of his daughters went into the BnB store, 188 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: which was just around the corner from the DG tavern. 189 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: It was owned by bow and Lowest Bowen Camp. The 190 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: oldest McElroy daughter, Debbie, was a teenager. She bought cigarettes 191 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: and cookies and on and on their way out the door, 192 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: the younger one, Alita, who was five, grabbed a few 193 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: pieces of candy from Iraq. When the store's clerk said 194 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: something about the candy, Debbie grabbed it from Alida, threw 195 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: it back into the rack and stomped out of the store. 196 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: A little later, McElroy and his wife Trino, who was 197 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: by this pinned about twenty five. They showed up. McElroy 198 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: had himself a knife. Trina did most of the talking 199 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: and which basically consisted of chewing out the bowling camps 200 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: and their and their clerk, and finally lowest bowling camp 201 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: had had enough. She told them to leave the store 202 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: and never come back. Nobody in the McElroy clan was 203 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: welcome with the store anymore. Well, that didn't set well 204 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: with Kim McElroy. Another campaign of harassment and intimidation started. 205 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: He once again would drive slowly past their house or 206 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: park outside their house. One night, he got out and 207 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: fired a shotgun into the air. Two days later he 208 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: came back and she fired the shotgun again twice. This 209 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: time this kind of stuff went out for months, and 210 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: then one night in July, bow bow and camp by 211 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: the way that I mentioned, he was about sixty nine 212 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: when this happened. He was on the loading dock at 213 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: the rear of the BnB store when Kim McElroy drove 214 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: up in his pickup. He got out with a double 215 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: bailer shotgun and shot bow in the neck. Both survived. 216 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: McElroy was arrested again by a State Highway patrol officer 217 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: and taken in He posted bail and began a campaign 218 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: of harassment against the office sir in his family. Also, 219 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: the local minister fell out of favor with him. Uh. 220 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: The minister went and saw bo bo and Camp in 221 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: the hospital and also want to see Lois Boone Camp 222 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: to just you know, give her a little a little support. 223 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: When mckelboy found out about this, he was upset and 224 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: so he started harassing Tim Warren. He told him at 225 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: one point on the phone that he was going to 226 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: castrate him and then cut his little boy to pieces 227 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: in front of him. So Tim Warren and then I 228 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: mentioned he was a minister. Yeah, he started carrying a gun. 229 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: Um the officer's wife, remember that patrol officer I talked about, Well, 230 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: started getting threatened in calls. His daughter worked at a 231 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: store in Maryville, which is a town not too terribly 232 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: far away. Kim mccaroy got into the habit of showing 233 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: up at the store and he lit up a shopping 234 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: cart totally full of stuff, wheel it over to her 235 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: checking station, and once you'd start ringing stuff up, he 236 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: would walk out of the store. Meantime, his lawyer kept 237 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: getting the trial delayed. So mcallaroy had lots and lots 238 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: of months and threatened Bow and Tim Warren and everybody else. 239 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: He would sit in the dn G tavern and talk 240 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: openly about killing Bow. He would also sit outside the 241 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: BnB store in his truck and scare away customers, and 242 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: the bnb's business did drop off by quite a bit. Eventually, 243 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: the trial finally happened on June. McElroy was convicted of 244 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: second degree assault and he was sentenced to two years 245 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: in prison, but the law allowed him to remain free 246 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: during the appeal process, so he was still free to 247 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: walk around. Four days after that, McIlroy was in the 248 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: DNG tavern when Trina walked in with an m Won 249 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: Durand rifle with the bayonet on it and handed it 250 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: to Ken. That's uh. At this point, Can actually was 251 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: not supposed to be in possession of a gun because 252 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: of the terms of his of his bail. He was 253 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: essentially out on bail during the appeal thing. Ken McElroy 254 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: chambered around and started making jabbing motions in the air 255 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: with the rifle and his bayonets, saying he was going 256 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: to shoot Bobo and Camp in the face with it. 257 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: And a local farmer named Pete Ward left the tavern 258 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: with his sons at this time, and shortly after he 259 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: took up station on the road between the DNG tavern 260 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: and Bobo and Camp's house, and he had a rifle. 261 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: He said his plan was to kill McElroy if he 262 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: has if he was headed over to the Bowling camp house. 263 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: And luckily for Chim McElroy, he didn't head that direction 264 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: when he left the DNG, so he lived for another day. 265 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: Okay imagined imagined already that McElroy was out on bond 266 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: and he violated the terms of the bond with the rifle. 267 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: The prosecutors filed a motion to revoke that bond, and 268 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: the hearing was set for July tenth. That was, of course, 269 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: the day that Ken got shot. A bunch of locals 270 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: showed up in town that morning to drive over to 271 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: the town of Bethany, which is where the hearing was 272 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: going to take place. Their plan was to support the 273 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: witnesses um who had actually seen the rifle brandishing. When 274 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: they showed up, they found out that McElroy's lawyer had 275 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: gotten the hearing post poems for ten days. Needless to say, 276 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: that was upsetting to everybody. Everybody went over to the 277 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: American Legion meeting hall nearby, and they called the county 278 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: sheriff and asked him to come by. He showed up 279 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: about twenty minutes later and advised everybody to keep an 280 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: eye on McElroy and keep a call list so that 281 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: Ken showed up at somebody's house and then they could 282 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 1: summon help from others quickly. And then the sheriff got 283 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: in this car and left town. Around this time, McElroy 284 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: and Trina arrived in town and went into the DNNG. 285 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: Word got over to the guys in the meeting hall, 286 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: and somebody said, let's go have a beer. The crowd 287 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: headed over to the dn G and they found Can 288 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: and Trina drinking a beer. And I don't know if 289 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: Ken was intimidated or not, but I hear Trina was. 290 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: Mkelroy finished his beer, bought a six pack to go, 291 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: and left um. At about the same time, two or 292 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: three people were outside forming an action plan. Reports various 293 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: to the number. These guys got rifles out of their trucks. 294 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: Remember this is farm country, so people are driving around 295 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: with rifles in their pickup trucks. The crowd in the 296 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: dn G followed Keim McElroy out into the street. Ken 297 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: got into his truck and started it, and then a 298 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,239 Speaker 1: number of shots rang out, two of which hit Kim McElroy, 299 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: one in the neck and one in the head. Uh. 300 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: And he went off to that big trailer park in 301 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: the sky. His foot stomped down on the gas pedal 302 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: and stayed there. The truck basically sat there, running into 303 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: a full throttle for a little while until it finally 304 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: seized up and quit a man. About forty five minutes later, 305 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: somebody got around to calling an ambulance. Now here's our mystery. 306 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: At least two dozen people were there on the street 307 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: in Skidmore that morning. Uh, And according to some accounts 308 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: that I've read, there may have been as many as 309 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: sixty people, but nobody saw the shooters. So this one 310 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: is a real head scratcher. How could it be that 311 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: chem mc elroy was gunned down in broad daylight by 312 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: two maybe three guys in front of dozens of people, 313 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: and yet nobody happened to notice who pulled the triggers? Well, 314 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: there are some theories out there, But before we start 315 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: discussing our series, I'd like to introduce a couple of guests. Um, 316 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: I guess our Steve and Devon from another podcast. Guys, 317 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: come on out. Hey, Hey, how you guys doing you 318 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: know good? Yeah? Fine, okay a cool? H. So you 319 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: guys are on a podcast, right, yeah, you're all right, 320 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about series. Okay. Well, the theoriesn't have been floated. Uh, 321 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: first theory UFOs. What do you guys think about that one? 322 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: Al the aliens pretty much? Yeah? Yeah yeah. But as 323 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: you know, and when alien abductions happened, they're always accompanied 324 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: by memory loss. Um, so I'm thinking that perhaps there 325 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: was a UFO nearby blasting the town with brain wiping 326 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: rays at the moment that shooting was taking place. Well, 327 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean, here's the de leo about that. It's just 328 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: that's just it's silly. I mean, it's somebody would have 329 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: remembered it. Well, one person actually did claim to remember it. 330 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was I'm sorry. I just I read 331 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: the Wikipedia page on this thing. I didn't do any 332 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: any research for them. That actually just skimmed that summary 333 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: at the top that that's pretty much all you ever do. 334 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah. So the one person who saw it, 335 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: who witnessed it was Trina who said she saw Dell Clement, 336 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: who was co owner of the d n G tavern 337 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: pulling a rifle out of his pickup truck. She was 338 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: sitting inside Ken's truck the time. So what thinking happened 339 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: is maybe the medal in the cabro I was shielding 340 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: here from the brain wiping rays from the UFO O 341 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: that the UFOs wiped the brain waves. They didn't have 342 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: anything to do with the actual murder. Yeah, now they're 343 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: they're just that's our that's our mystery here is how 344 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: could there have been no witnesses? That people put on 345 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: the tinfoil hats but the roof of the truck doesn't work. 346 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: Is a tinfoil hat because it's got windows all around? 347 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: That's fair? All right, let's talk about our next theory. 348 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: All right, next theory. Squirrels. Uh, there are squirrels in 349 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: Skidmore and and a lot of people did say something 350 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: in the order they were looking at the squirrels and 351 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: didn't notice the two guys with rifles because they're what 352 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: obscenely cute, But they're are cute. I like squirrels. They're 353 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: little cupe cabrash. Now they're not. Yeah, alright, so squirrels, Devin, 354 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: you've got any thoughts on squirrels. Um, they're cute, They're cute. Okay, 355 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: let's move on our next theory. They got this grain 356 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: mold causes hallucinations and such. I've talked about this for 357 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's everybody's favorite go to theory for 358 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: things like the Mary celest and everything else. Here's what 359 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: you have to understand. Hey, that's mine. Okay, okay, Um, 360 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: So did did the town share a common bread source? 361 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: And were they all eating the same bread? Well, they 362 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: were buying their bread at the BnB store, So yeah, 363 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: it's it's I think very likely the supply was tainted 364 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: by aircott and they were all highest kites and not 365 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: really in a position to remember their own names, much 366 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: less who killed who. Yeah, that's the dumbest thing I've 367 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: ever heard. Well ostensibly, I guess. I don't know. I'm 368 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: gonna go squirrels. You guys have you guys have a favorite. 369 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: I think that dude was just a huge and everybody 370 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: wanted him debt out there, don't you think a little bit? Yeah, 371 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: I think you're reaching on that one. I'm gonna I'm 372 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: sticking with squirrels. Yeah, and the aftermath, just about everybody 373 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: in town was interrogated by the police, and no one 374 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: saw a thing man, and they took a stab at Hey, 375 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking here. This is my show, remember, all right, 376 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: let's let's get back. Oh yeah, the FBI. Yeah, the FBI, 377 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: and nobody saw a thing. Once again, various grand juries 378 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: looked into it. They declined to indict anybody, despite treating 379 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: his claim that Dell Clement was one of the gunmen. 380 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: For his part, Dell Clement said, quote, boys, I wish 381 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: I could say I had done it, because he sure 382 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: had it coming. But I didn't unquote. And I'm taking 383 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: his word over Trina's. I think she must have hallucinated 384 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: that there was another local named David Dunbar told reporters 385 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: quote to be honest with you, and my only regret 386 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: about the way Ken Rex died. I said, I didn't 387 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: pull the trigger myself unquote. So so and it's the 388 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: story of Ken McElroy killed by invisible gunman. All right. 389 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: At this point in the show is just want to 390 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: tell you where to find me.
