The museum there is a jerk off fest for police/law and order. Joe Arpaio and David Clarke were past “honorees”.

There's at least 40% chance she already knows.

The story is even worse because Pusser and his fan boys have claimed for 60 years that she was killed in an "ambush" when her husband appears to have shot and killed her, then staged an ambush.

But he was that kind of guy who always got the benefit of the doubt.

He died by drunk driving without a seatbelt and, like now, his family has run in to defend his name/brand.
![Death Buford Pusser died on August 21, 1974, of injuries sustained in a one-car automobile accident 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Adamsville.[23][9] Earlier that day, he had contracted with Bing Crosby Productions in Memphis to portray himself in the sequel to Walking Tall. That evening, returning home alone from the McNairy County Fair in his specially modified Corvette, Pusser struck an embankment at high speed that ejected him from the vehicle. The car caught fire and burned.[23][9] Local speculation as to the cause included rumors of sabotage to the steering mechanism and the tie rods. The state trooper who worked the accident, Paul Ervin, later became the sheriff of McNairy County. Ervin claimed that Pusser's death was caused by drunk driving without a seat belt. Buford’s daughter, Dwana Pusser, a passenger in another car, came upon the scene of the accident minutes later. No autopsy of Pusser's body was performed. As sheriff, Pusser was credited with surviving seven stabbings and eight shootings. Pusser's memorial service was held at the Adamsville Church of Christ.[24]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:aiphk62acfirfr55cpqqiadf/bafkreich76ofoytazarq4jgxlfdcn4ljwacup3ntthkldwew57ovlmj6ya@jpeg)

Buford Pusser convinced people he sustained 7 stabbings and 8 shootings during his short career. No shit he murdered his own wife and got away with it. RIP Pauline Pusser.

I used to have one of those axe handles. There is/was a Buford exhibit at the Sheriff’s office in Selmer that was basically a shadow box full of confiscated pipes and bongs. The museum’s like visiting one of my cousin’s houses in 1975. But with velvet ropes.
