In the tiny farming town of Skidmore, Missouri, nearly fifty people stood on Main Street and watched Ken McElroy die in broad daylight.

When police arrived, every single witness said the same thing.

“I didn’t see anything.”

In this episode, Kat dives into the story of the man known as the “town bully,” the decades of fear that built up in Skidmore, and the shocking day when an entire town closed ranks and refused to identify a killer.

Grab a drink and join us as we explore the dark side of humanity… with beer.\
