- This installment examines Buford's time in Chicago were he met and married Pauline Mullins Vance. Pauline, Buford's future wife, would experience a difficult life while married to her first husband Roman Ironton "Pete" Vance. This installment also discusses the subject of Pauline's daughter Karen Felicia, who was born both mentally and physically incapacitated.
Mike, my family came from the mid eastern section of Tennessee and even there in those days it was a violent place. There's no reason for me to believe that the area the pusser story took place wasn't just as violent long before his legend began, and whatever happened- or didn't actually happen- was more commonplace than the rest of the country could comprehend.
W.R. Morris wrote in The Twelfth of August that the state liners dumped the bodies of their victims in the Tennessee River. The is absolutely no proof of this. Likewise, there is no proof that Buford was ever beaten, cut up and robbed as was shown in the movies...,if fact, during Pusser's time as sheriff there were only two state liners left in the story, Louise Hathcock and Towhead White. Towhead was arrested in another county for moonshining just eight months into his first term as sheriff. Pusser killed Louise under questionable circumstances nine months later. Of his 6 years as sheriff, the state line existed 17 months with Pusser never shutting down a state line joint or sending a single state liner to prison.
Don't t believe what you saw in the movies.
Why would Buford allow the movie makers to put him getting beat up and cut up.That movie was part biography of his events as Sheriff and what happened before he became sheriff.Remember something Buford was a consultant and was there during the making of the first movie.???
@@bufordpusser1122your full of sheet
It seems that there are no redeeming features about Buford? Are you going to turn your book Into a movie? Why would Billy Graham agree to be photographed with Buford? Are all the other people in the story upstanding law abiding citizens?
Hi Mike I absolutely love your videos and I'm in the process of binge watching them now. My Dad was Keith Moore and his Dad was McNairy County Judge Howard Moore and my Granddad on my Mom's side was Chief of Police Pee-Wee Sowell the longest serving deputy in the state of Tennessee. So I've lived my whole life feeling frustrated with not knowing how to feel on the subject because one side of my family thought Pusser was a hero while the other called him everything but a child of God. Also my Aunt Drunette Garrison has been married to O'Neal Garrison for over 50 years. Uncle O'Neal is Jamie Garrison's brother. So glad to see some people like yourself setting things straight. Because youre absolutely right....THE TRUTH HAS NO AGENDA. (love that btw).
And speaking of the truth, I was quite young when my father Keith passed away in 1987 and Grandpa Howard passed in 1982 so if anyone has any stories good or bad or pictures of either one I would be so grateful for them to be shared with me. Keith was an only child and I was his only child so the buck kinda stopped with him. Mamaw Nancy died just a couple years ago but she moved to Murray KY and Arkansas so I didnt hear much from her after that.
I sure am thinking different of a man I thought was a hero for many years...I admit watching the movies I thought hmmm that's alot of stuff happening to one man and he survived..I think touring his house and museum and paying to go in is off my bucket list now...
He was a hero to a lot of people.
My sister married Pete after he and Pauline divorced, I even spent time with them in Chicago Heights. I would bet money he never ever hit my sister. That was many years ago, my sister has since passed away. Pete showed us around Chicago, we went to the museum, Wrigley Field, the loop, O'Hara airport and many more places. I was about 15 years old, my sister was the oldest in the family and I was the baby with 3 more siblings in the middle.
And at the same time, Pete had almost nothing to do with either Mike or Diane after Pauline divorced him. Pauline had another daughter Karen who as mentally and p[physically challenged once born. The Mullins family believes this was the result of Pauline being beaten and kicked by Pete while she was pregnant.
I don't have a clue about how Pete treated Pauline, I just know how he was with my sister. I ran across a photo the other day of Brenda at her and Pete's home at Christmas, Pete had gotten her lots of nice gifts. Brenda was even modeling a fur coat, ugh!! Pre Peta. I can only remember her mentioning Pete's kids a few times. They spent a lot of time fishing in Montana and other states with Jr and June.
@@junehbee29Her daughter Karen is burried out the road from my house,my mom and dad and Tony and Odell Hill were best friends,she was a beautifull girl.

Can you share more about Karen’s life?
I really enjoy your videos!
My thoughts on Pusser is that he had some personality/mental issues that were untreated. Seems like several Law officers have untreated mental illness.
My Dad The Stewart brothers played music Dalmar Pine Ridge 1950 until 1974 they knew Pusser my dad never said anything bad about Pusser but I do remember going to pineridge on Sunday to get equipment I was 5 I say all them campers out beside the joint in that field I know now what was going on I remember them pretty girls going to an fro them short shorts they wore
Well, there was no Pine Ridge Club at the state line of McNairy and Alcorn Counties. Even the FBI reports say that if someone needed a prostitute, a call was made to either the El Ray Motel or Nitefall Motel in Corinth and one would be sent by taxi, No reports of campers etc.
Back in that day, a woman needed a man. In a lot of places, she could not rent or get utilities in her name. I see your point on Pauline, she had a ruff time from being single woman with a child, at that time.
I subbed to you Mr. Elam. What you and your guests bring to the table here is just too compelling to deny that Mr. Pusser was a big part of the problem..And not the solution!
The truth is out there and they have documention on this they made the effort to look into the archives
I believe Pauline was older than what has been recorded to be her birthdate. On a 1940 census sheet listing her father Jackson and mother Bertha it shows Pauline to be 10 years old.
At the funeral home what was the allegations? Sex with a corpse? Stealing jewelry from the deceased? What?
Idk was wondering myself
Very strange not to deny the allegations at funeral home…
Yes, one would think if the allegations had no basis, why not just respond that they were not true.
Cross Dressing at young age ,inappropriate conduct at Funeral Home,Robbery Court Case and how did Bing Crosby make a movie star out of this is beyond me!🙄
It just seems like what I seen I my career as a law enforcement and the correctional officer making up rules as I go along I live in a state where the chief law enforcement officer of this county is the longest acting sheriff in this state maybe he should do a movie
I am since retired I wouldn't put a damn uniform on and this day of time it's all nothing but woke now
I can't find you're Facebook Page? What am I doing wrong?
Never mind Mike, I found it! Great stuff! I lived in Henderson, Tenn. when they made the movie. One thing I will always appreciate about Buford is he roughed up Jimmy Buffett! 😂
What were the allegations about him at the funeral home
I try to stay away from that as the allegations were pretty gross.
In the movie, Before he, Became sheriff, he caught a guy cheating his friend a Gambling & was cut open & Had over 200 stitches & left for Dead in a Ditch, &. killed Tudie in movie & Became sheriff after,,
Well, that was the movie. Those things never happened.
Hey Mike , how are you doing when they found no foul play from her exhumation! Or are you gonna still keep tormenting the kids!
I’m sorry but I must ask you a question? Do you know how Dawanna died ? Because I hear so many different answers, thank you so very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
killed herself
She committed suicide by gunshot. Her autopsy report is post on my Facebook page BUFORD PUSSER: The Other Story.
does anyone know why she killed herself@@bufordpusser1122
@@bufordpusser1122 A woman committing suicide by GSW, is strange. At Best, just saying.
I’m not sure why Dwana died , but one media source didn’t come right out and say she shot herself ,but it suggested self inflicted gunshot, but I’m really as curious as anyone else about why she died,
Why would Buford allow the movie makers to put him getting beat up severely and cut up.Remember something the movie was a part biography and the events of his time as Sheriff.Alot of people that have tried to discredit Buford's story are people related to the criminals he dealt with and haters of Buford and his family.Buford went along with them making the movie.
Where is there any record of Buford being beaten and cut up at the Plantation Club. There ae no police report, medical reports, photographs or witnesses of the event. Why is it that no one in Adamsville, a town of fewer than 1,000 residence back then, who remembers Buford with a head full of stitches? That would have been the talk of the town had it actually happened. I'm not related to anyone in the story. My question for you his, why are you defending his FALSE legend?
Buford wanted to look like a victim...he was a criminal who murderd his wife and God knows who else
@@bufordpusser1122the years that have past makes this irrelevant. This is no more than a fake hit piece. You should be ashamed for this. Can you really not find anything positive to do. SMH. Shameful.
I really find your opinions interesting, except one that I have to disagree, and that is where you say Buford was possibly involved in the murder of his wife , because why would he shoot his lower jaw off ? And kill his wife for no reason what so ever . Anyway keep up the good work.
All of the other wounds he had were thought to be self inflicted as they were all non serious wounds. The first doctor to tend to him in Memphis suggested that this wound was also self inflicted. It was his chin, not his jaw, that was struck as the movies indicated. Many people familiar with the alleged ambush think he was attempting to give himself another superficial wound but miscalculated the trajectory and the muzzle velocity of the gun being used. He was back on the job in just 18 days. Pauline on the other hand had nothing left of her head but her face according to Bill Way who took photos for his newspaper as well as TBI's Warren Jones.. McNairy County Coroner Ward Moore concurred, saying he spent eight hours rebuilding the top and back of her head to have something to put a wig on for the funeral. I interviewed both of these men. Don't believe what you saw in the movies. They were only 15% accurate at best.
@@bufordpusser1122 I wondered how Pauline was in such bad shape, because as a passenger I would think that she would immediately have ducked down , maybe even into the floorboard for protection. If Buford did kill her, the big question is WHY?
You must have been a piss poor deputy were you there for any of the things that happened sounds like you just want to make money off the family
LOL... so your best defense of a man who actually did very little to clean up crime in his county is to attack me? Sounds as if you are very low on ammunition partner!
Why don't people leave them rest in peace. Instead of digging up all the past, his wife died in a horrific way and then he died. Truthfully there is a lot of own answered questions to her death but it's better just let her rest and him rest
You don't like the truth do you?
Yes I do but both of them are dead and I do believe that it was a horrific murder and the person should be punished for it but they both are dead and should be able to rest in peace. Besides I have no sympathy for any law enforcement who breaks the law and gets away with it especially since my handy cap wife was beaten from a cop in boredom Ohio and taken to jail and the officers there told me that this wasn't the first time that this officer has done something like that cause they took many of inmates from there to the hospital because of him but yet he is still a cop and my wife was charged with assault on a police officer because he ripped a hole in his pants
Is episode 8 out?
Coming out VERY soon
In the first movie the little girl Dewana had a brother what happened to him.
He passed away about three years ago after an extended illness.
Stick up for a pimp
Why are you attacking a dead man . As a Law officer I find these videos pretty distasteful . The truth died with Buford.
When did the truth become "distasteful? You may not agree with what I post here and that is your privilege. While you see this as "attacking a dead man," I see it as sharing evidence of what happened that day. You have only your self to blame if you are ignorant of the available evidence. WALKING TALL even had a caption saying the movie was a fictional account of Buford's story. Rather than complaining about what I have posted, maybe you should try getting up to speed on the real story.
The truth never dies. As a "law officer" you would easily recognize that. Oops truth again
Buford was nothing but a gangster with a badge!!
As a law officer I would think you would want the facts to be brought forth. New facts in past cases come forth all the time.
I’m not pro or con on mr Pusser and I’m not saying he was innocent or guilty and would love for the facts to prove him innocent.
I just see this as research into something that may or may not be what it was portrayed by Hollywood
He can talk if he wants! That stupid remark tells me you are not an attorney! Dead or undead it does not matter! File it under education as people want to educate themselves because there is an interest! Calling something a true store when it is not, deceives the public and it is a mockery!
Just STOP!
Does the truth offend you that much? Geeze!
My mama was from McNairy county and when I would start telling the truth she told me to just stop. ..😮
I really enjoy your videos!!!!
I appreciate that!
This is way over the top
@@richardhafley3103 In what way is part of the story "Over the top"?
@@bufordpusser1122 Because you are utterly obsessed with Buford and discrediting him. You are a sick little man.
@@bufordpusser1122 it's not over top. The bars there remind me of the line bars in minor hill tennessee by alabama. There was fights there and poker in the back room. It was More social than anything. My thinking is the plantation was no different than Larry longs bar in minor hill.
