Part 2 of 2 - The Death of Buford Pusser

Buford Pusser was the “Walking Tall” sheriff, famous for his
frequent violent run-ins with local lowlifes and gangsters. But by
August 21, 1974, he was retired and a Hollywood celebrity, driving
away from his hometown county fair in a new Corvette he’d bought
with money from his first Walking Tall movie. His
daughter, who followed a few minutes behind, did indeed come upon
the burning wreck of his car, with Buford dead beside it from a
broken neck. Authorities claimed that Buford died because he
was driving too fast, had too much to drink, and wasn’t wearing his
seat belt. But few people in Adamsville believed that. To them, the
crash, and Buford’s death, was not an accident. Investigators said
that the fire made it impossible to know if the car had been
tampered with. With so much contradiction surrounding his life and
death … who was he, and what happened?? Huge Thank You to Jared A.
Walters for providing some of this audio.
