After invoking fear into the community of Skidmore, Missouri for decades, the time had come for Ken Rex McElroy to face the music. When law enforcement failed to put an end to his constant intimidation and violent crimes, the townsfolk took matters into their own hands. 60 witnesses saw him being shot and killed outside a tavern in the middle of town, however, in an unprecedented act of solidarity, everyone refused to talk. To this day, the murder of the town bully has not been solved.
