Description

Ken Rex McElroy, a notorious figure in small-town America, lived a life of violence and terror for over twenty years. His crimes, including rape, robbery, and arson, left a trail of fear and despair in the communities he targeted. Despite the law's efforts to apprehend him, McElroy seemed almost untouchable, with many believing that the system was incapable of protecting its citizens from him. His eventual demise came in a shocking and public manner, as he was shot to death on the main street of his hometown in July 1981. The event was witnessed by 45 people, yet despite three grand juries, no one has been indicted for the killing. This true crime story raises questions about the effectiveness of the justice system and the consequences of violence in small communities. This book tells the story of Ken Rex McElroy's life and death, and the impact he had on the town of Skidmore, Missouri.
