Hero. Legend. Buford Pusser and the Cold Case Unsolved Murder of His Wife

Hero. Legend. Buford Pusser and the Cold Case Unsolved Murder of His Wife

Buford Pusser went on a domestic call in the early morning hours of August 12, 1967. Pusser's wife, Pauline, went with him on the call. On the way a car pulled up alongside them and shots were fired, killing her and leaving Buford shot in the face. Buford survived the attempt on his life, Hollywood came calling and a feature film about Buford became a big hit, Walking Tall. The legend of Buford Pusser only grew when he died in a car accident right before he was set to star in the sequel to Walking Tall. It would be easy to blame Hollywood for covering up the truth about the man to make him into a hero, but that isn't the truth. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the investigation into the unsolved Cold Case murder of Pauline Pusser and attempted murder of Sheriff Buford Busser.
