Famed Tennessee sheriff who inspired Hollywood movie 'Walking Tall' implicated in wife's murder | AI News Digest
New evidence has emerged suggesting that Buford Pusser, the famed Tennessee sheriff who inspired the movie 'Walking Tall,' may have murdered his wife, Pauline Mullins Pusser. Initially believed to be a victim of an ambush intended for her husband, investigations now indicate inconsistencies in Pusser's account of the 1967 incident. A recent autopsy revealed evidence of prior trauma and contradicted the sheriff's narrative, leading authorities to believe the crime scene was staged. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation reopened the case, utilizing modern forensic techniques to uncover the truth. This development aims to provide closure for Pauline's family and ensure justice is served, even decades later.
