Throwback Thursday: Ken McElroy, The Bully of Skidmore Pt. 1
For nearly 30 years, Ken McElroy terrorized the small town of Skidmore, Missouri. Accused of theft, assault, arson, statutory rape, and intimidation, he manipulated the legal system and silenced witnesses through fear. When he shot 70-year-old grocery store owner Bo Bowenkamp in broad daylight, and still managed to delay justice yet again, the town’s patience began to crack. In today's first Throwback Thursday episode, Carter Roy unravels how one man’s unchecked violence exposed the limits of the justice system and pushed a quiet farming community toward the brink.And for more cases just like this one, be sure to check out the Crime House Original, Murder: True Crime Stories.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!
