Before the internet could show you anything in the universe - including stuff it made up - people had few opportunities to have their minds blown. But every few years, somewhere in the world nations would gather and show off the cool stuff they invented.
In this episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive into the disturbing true story of Ken Rex McElroy, a notorious criminal who terrorized the small town of Skidmore, Missouri for decades before meeting his end in a shocking broad daylight murder that remains officially unsolved. They explore how McElroy managed to evade justice for years through intimidation and legal maneuvering, despite being arrested over 20 times for crimes ranging from cattle rustling to far worse offenses. This is one of those rare cases with a clear-cut villain, though the story raises complex questions about justice, community, and what happens when the system fails to protect people.
