    This episode we get deep into a real case of vigilante justice from a whole town, that results in an unsolved murder. We take a trip to a very small town in Missouri, that had its very own "town bully." Ken Rex McElroy, was a menace to many people in this town, and nearly killed two of them. Each time he was arrested or charged, he got a bond, or spent no time in jail. From shooting a man in the neck, to stealing grains, and gasoline, Ken Rex was not a nice man. The town themselves knew this, and saw the judicial system not taking him off the streets...the only option left was something we wouldn't think plausible. Tune in for much more!
