Ken McElroy has robbed, raped, burned, shot, and maimed the citizens of Skidmore, Missouri without conscience or remorse. Again and again, the law had failed to stop hiim. On July 10, 1981, Ken McElroy was shot to death on the main street of thsi small farming community. Forty-five people watched. No indictments were ever issued, no trial held-- and the town of Skidmore has protected the killers with silence to this day. Now this powerful but true-life account details what drove normal American citizens to murder.
