Going back to the Dixie Mafia, one of the founders made his start in Biloxi, Mississippi getting into all types of underworld scandals.
Our Anthony episode– and his rebound trip to Las Vegas – was a perfectly adequate excuse for Salina to talk about the Dixie Mafia. Confused? OK, stay with us. When people think about Vegas, they think about the mafia. But what if we told you there was a Southern mafia? The Dixie Mafia. AKA the Southern mob, AKA the Cornbread Cosa Nostra. Join us as we shed some light on their origins AND some of the most interesting figures and cases in their sordid history.
The Dixie Mafia terrorized the southern US for decades before authorities were finally able to bring them down. Starting off as a loose collective of career criminals who specialized in burglaries and robberies, they grew more organized after starting to use the infamous Biloxi strip of undercover brothels and gambling houses as a base, eventually shifting to everything from drug smuggling to contract killing to even running national romance scams. We're joined by Jed Lipinski of Gone South to break down everything from carnie robberies to corrupt sheriffs and murdered judges. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As we wrap up our time with Anthony, let's take a second to appreciate the endless shenanigans the Designing Women have put him through, his quickie, season 7 marriage, his never-ending law school career, and the twist ending that has us all wondering if Bernice's feelings for him were truly unrequited. We'll make a pit-stop at Salina's Sidebar, to talk about the one and only, Sheryl Lee Ralph. And we have a special bit for our Patreon listeners, inspired by the crew's two-part Vegas visit this season. Finally, don't forget to come back Thursday for an “Extra Sugar” that was weeks of internet research, podcast listening, and light book-skimming in the making - Salina's taking the Southern route to Vegas, talking all about the Dixie Mafia.

In this episode, he explains the nature of politically protected drug trafficking, the Dixie Mafia, and how and why Charles Harrelson killed a federal judge.

Pauline was a married mother of 3, her husband, Bufford was a police officer in McNairy County Tennessee near the Tennessee Kentucky line along I40., eventually becoming sheriff. Pauline was married before, having a son named Michael and a daughter Dian Vance. After growing up in Virginia and living in Chicago, Pauline met Bufford at a wrestling match. Bufford started off in wrestling. Buford Pusser was born in Finger, McNairy County, Tennessee, on December 12, 1937, his father was the police chief of Adamsville, Tennessee. Buford Pusser was a high-school football and basketball player and was 6 feet 6 inches tall. He joined the United States Marine Corps when he graduated from high school. His service ended and he was given a medical discharge for asthma.In 1957, he moved to Chicago, where he was a local wrestler known as "Buford The Bull". He married Pauline Mullins on December 5, 1959. Pusser returned home in 1962. He was Adamsville's police chief and constable from 1962 to 1964. After the sheriff James Dickey was killed in an auto accident, Pusser was elected sheriff, becoming the youngest sheriff in Tennessee's history. Pusser promptly began trying to eliminate crime and mob/mafia groups like the Dixie Mafia and the State Line Mob.Pusser was ineligible for re-election in 1970 due to the term limit then in effect. He was defeated in his bid for sheriff in 1972. Pusser blamed the loss to incumbent Sheriff Clifford Coleman in part on the controversy surrounding the making of the semibiographical movie Walking Tall. “Walking Tall” was a movie based on Bufford in the 1970's then a remake happened in 2004 featuring Dwayne the rock Johnson and Johnny Knoxville. The early morning of Aug. 12, 1967, the couple was heading to a disturbance call near the Tennessee-Mississippi line when a vehicle pulled up alongside theirs and began firing into the car with a military rifle, according to The Historical Marker Database and McNairy County Historical Society. According to Pusser, his phone rang before dawn on the morning of August 12, 1967, informing him of a disturbance on New Hope Road in McNairy County; Pusser responded and his wife Pauline rode along. Ride along were allowed then, but usually happened in daylight hours on a slow Sunday. Some believe he got a call around 2 am and where the shooting happened was only 20 minutes away from his house and the call came in of the shooting around 4 am. Shortly after they passed the New Hope Methodist Church, a fast-moving car came alongside theirs and the occupants opened fire, killing Pauline and leaving Pusser for dead. Doctors said he was struck on the left side of his jaw by at least two, or possibly three, rounds from a .30-caliber carbine. He spent 18 days in the hospital before returning home, and needed several more surgeries. Pusser died on August 21, 1974, of injuries sustained in a one-car automobile accident four miles west of Adamsville. Earlier that day, he had contracted with Bing Crosby Productions in Memphis to portray himself in the sequel to Walking Tall. That evening, returning home alone from the McNairy County Fair in his specially modified Corvette, Pusser struck an embankment at high speed that ejected him from the vehicle. The car caught fire and burned.56 years after Pauline's death, in February of 2024 they exhumed her body. No water was coming out of the casket so TBI is looking at the body for any other injuries. They weren't in a wreck, so the only wounds on her body should be the shot to her head. No reports have been made public at this time, but we will keep you up to date.

Author, researcher, journalist, radio and podcast host William Klabber is one of the world's leading experts on the three earth-shaking 1960's assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr, and Robert F. Kennedy.In this amazing interview, Bill Klabber graciously gives his time to explain the truth behind who killed Martin Luther King, Jr, and why it's nothing like you've been led to believe. Bill takes an extremely detailed and fact-based approach to all of his work, and in regards to Martin Luther Kings' death the evidence will most likely shock and disturb you. It includes the involvement of the FBI, a group often referred to as the "Dixie Mafia," and court-proven facts refuting that James Earl Ray was responsible for MLK's death.If you are intrigued by this interview, we highly encourage you to check out Bill's multi-part series on the reality of King's murder in the MLK Tapes in order to better understand the full picture. In this award-winning podcast published by Tenderfoot TV, Bill merges in detailed evidentiary explanations compiled by the late-great attorney William Pepper, and actual interviews with many of the central players involved in the plot to kill King, including members of the Dixie Mafia and eye-witnesses to the events.Because of Bill Klabber's vast knowledge of not only MLK's death, but also JFK and RFK, we've broken his interview with us into two parts. This first part deals briefly with JFK, but then centers mostly on an explanation of the truth of MLK's murder. In part 2 of the interview (soon to be published) we will go into more detail about Bobby Kennedy's assassination. Please subscribe to the show to be automatically alerted when part 2 of the interview is released.And again, if you are fascinated by the potentially hidden truths of these events, we strongly suggest checking out Bill Klabber's full podcast of The MLK Tapes, as well as his book "Shadow Play: The Unsolved Murder of Bobby Kennedy."In the meantime, sit back and enjoy this excellent interview with expert William Klabber, and ponder why we still never hear any debate or discussion of these disturbing facts in mainstream media.*New Email Alert*Contact the show at independentriot@protonmail.com*New Podcast Alert*Please also consider checking out and subscribing to our new podcast "Your Best True Story," where we'll be playing all types of listener true stories (paranormal, funny, survival, etc) from around the world, and letting the audience vote on whose is best.

In 1987, a circuit court judge and his wife, a former city council woman, who wanted to be mayor, were murdered in their home in Biloxi, Mississippi. It was obviously a professional hit. Vincent Sherry was a former criminal defense attorney who had defended members of the Dixie Mafia. Now, he was putting criminals away. Margaret Sherry was a fiery republican in a public slap fight with the current democratic mayor. She wanted to clean up the Biloxi strip of seedy night clubs and gambling, which of course, the Dixie Mafia ran. And she wanted to expose corruption in city hall. Who was the real target? It was a conspiracy that would take four years and the determination of their oldest daughter to unravel.

By the 1960s, organized crime gangs were well and truly already becoming a presence across the north of the United States, as underworld figures fought for sole control over highly lucrative gambling, illegal alcohol, and prostitution rings. Down south, things were done a slightly different way. But even though one criminal network in particular didn't have a strict code, this didn't make them any less dangerous. Based out of Biloxi, MI, they soon monopolized the control of many illicit activities across numerous states where big profits could be made, but only by those willing to be uncompromisingly ruthless. This is the history of the Dixie Mafia.

The story of the Dixie Mafia begins in Phenix City, Alabama. The town was sometimes called “the wickedest city in America.” It was sometimes called “America's original sin city.” By the 20th century, crime was institutionalized to the point that only a revolution could solve the problem. But long before high-profile crimes forced the clean-up, the city grew into an unlikely hotspot for all things illicit and illegal.

The Dixie Mafia was a very loose network of criminals who operated across the South in the 1960s and 1970s, and even into the 80s. They were dealing in drugs, gambling, prostitution, and MURDER. They weren't really a gang, just a bunch of dudes who hung out together and did some seriously shady stuff.

Welcome to Season Two of Gone South, the Edward R. Murrow Award winning documentary podcast from C13Originals. Starting in the early sixties, a rag-tag confederation of traveling criminals known as The Dixie Mafia terrorized every state from Georgia to Oklahoma. Its hundreds of members, unofficially headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi, specialized in scams, heists and murder. Their ringleader — the estranged son of a prominent Oklahoma politician — was a skilled and charismatic outlaw named Kirksey Nix. When Nix was sentenced to life in prison at Angola for a murder he committed in New Orleans, The Dixie Mafia was thought to be extinct. But fifteen years later, a sitting criminal court judge named Vincent Sherry and his wife Margaret, a mayoral candidate for the city of Biloxi, were assassinated. As the case ran cold, authorities were forced to confront a disturbing reality: the reign of Kirksey Nix and The Dixie Mafia was far from over. Gone South is a creation and production of Peabody-nominated C13Originals, a Cadence13 studio, in association with Jed and Tom Lipinski.

In early February of 2022, law enforcement officials in Boone, North Carolina made national headlines when they announced that a 50-year-old unsolved triple homicide case had been closed - with the help of none other than former “Dixie Mafia” member Billy Wayne Davis.

Davis' admission that he was present on the night of the murders is only part of the story of what really happened. IN THE RED CLAY – DURHAM is a brand new 6-episode second season of the award-winning series detailing the case of the Durham family murders from 1972 to present day and features interviews with enforcement officials, investigators, and family members of the victims and the killers.
