Well now, here’s a famous cop who turns out to be a piece of shit.

New evidence points to the “Walking Tall” Tennessee Sheriff Buford Pusser in the 58-year-old murder case of his wife.

A press conference regarding the new developments in the murder of Pauline Pusser was held on Friday morning by District Attorney General Mark Davidson, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the University of Tennessee, Martin.

This comes after authorities received a tip in the case, leading to the body of Pauline being exhumed from an Adamsville, Tenn., cemetery back in February 2024.

During the conference, authorities say there were inconsistencies with Sheriff Buford Pusser’s story about the events leading up to his wife’s death in 1967 and that it appeared to be a “staged crime scene.”

Buford, a McNairy County Sheriff, reported that his wife volunteered to ride along with him on the dark, early morning hours to a disturbance call. That is when he says a car pulled alongside his car, fired several shots, killing Pauline and injuring him.

This is of course the central event to what made Pusser famous.
