- Oakley Dean Baldwin and I discuss Pauline Mullins, her life, her marriage to Buford, and the questionable circumstances in the alleged August 12th 1967 ambush which resulted in her death.
All i hear is a lot of assuming. Question who gets shot in the face just enough to hurt them but not kill them. You could bleed out the bullet could hit a bone and change course. Y'all sound stupi.
Quite Frankly… I think this is a dis service to the family and the community of Adamsville Tennessee
What solving a murder that buford did most people wants a murder case solved I'm glad people are learning he is and was a POS
People make this about Buford, but it’s about Pauline. Was she killed how it was reported, or not? That’s what matters.
Sounds like a family and a personal vendetta. Perhaps a way to make a quick buck? Let’s investigate those probabilities
Exactly what I was thinking.An assumption is another word for bullshit.
And for the forensics authorities to really think they will find the killer nearly 60years later… is preposterous.
Hard to find a wound channel when the corpse has been in the ground that long.
So far only 1 question, Why did Buford buy illegal guns with OK numbers? He is a cop and could get particularly any gun he wanted!
All these years I thought Buford Pusser was such a great guy only now to find out he wasn’t any better than anyone else and was just as crooked as the next guy!! 👎
Nice way to slander one who is no longer around to defend himself. If you think the movie was bullshit try this video.
I MO… this guy being interviewed. Seems a bit envy of good ole Buford Pusser.
If u wouldn't say it to his face dont say it. U wouldn't.
Lmao, tell that to this man's face. Not on UA-cam. Hahahaha
The disclaimer at the end of 'Walking Tall' the movie says its a fictional story.
Far more fictional that what most people understand.
So glad Mike you’ve uploaded this latest video…been waiting for a while now. Love your book and have just gotten Oakley Dean Baldwin’s book off Amazon. (E-Book-Looking forward for your’s Mike in E-Book format…I have “Speechify” and am able to have it read to me in my car right off the Kindle pages with professional AI assisted voices. They sound like real life, not fake at all.) Can’t wait for your next segment of video to finish this story. Also, I’m looking forward to your new book. I’ll have to have you autograph ✍️ it for me too.
Thanks, I would love to sign it for you!
Glad to see you back Mike. I've missed these videos
Thanks! you will see more.
Maybe someday someone will actually produce some HARD EVIDENCE that Buford Pusser was a fraud. So far all I've seen is a bunch of hearsay and speculation. No real hard evidence. More than likely Pusser was neither a hero or a fraud. He definitely was big strong and tough but that doesn't necessarily add up to being a hero. I believe the truth is somewhere in the middle.
@@donguess4332@donguess4332 I want to believe Buford was a good guy. However, all the information we have confirming that is in Morris's, Wagoner's, Broughton's and Dwana's books. They are also all copies of Morris's work, almost word for word as well.
I use to know a sheriff in a small county in Central Florida..he was tough on drugs..however there were a couple of people he never bothered..its a fact that this sheriff was on the payroll..he had way too much to be a sheriff..this is in every state, city in the entire US even today..
I been through Pauline Pusser home town so many countless times I can’t count them. 1 thing if in real life she as pretty as that picture she very beautiful woman. She didn’t deserve the rough life she had to suffer to go through. I sure hope that not true about her sad death.
Sorry my friend, but I am afraid it is true.
After everyone is Dead the people who claim they knew the story come out. No one came out within a few years of the Movie release, My Grandfather was there he Knew Buford and the Family, he always said Pauline was Worthless and didnt take care of the Children that she always flirted with the Men and Buford stayed to make a home for the Kids. Now that Bufords Children are gone they start saying she was a Saint and Buford a Liar, But when living the Children worshipped their Dad. Buford did more for the Country then any Mullins family member ever has done.
He was a crook and my grandfather said he was my whole life if she was a whore doesn't mean he could kill her it's sad people think he was good
Just a quick question,, Didn't Buford Pusser only have 1 child ??
1 child, and Mike his Nephew that was played by lief garret in the Movie@@BadJimmiZ
Oh well, if she flirted with men and was a bad mom...of course she can be murdered and forgotten. I know goud ole boy dad that hold power of their family til their death. A bully is a bully
It doesn't matter what she was he didn't have a right to kill her and I'll say this he was long ways from being a legend or hero
Great book Mike !! So glad for your painstaking research in uncovering the reality of this era. Being from the area I grew up listening to countless stories of the stateline from family and friends . By the time I came of age the Shamrock was a rotting shell of its former . I actually walked through the old buildings several times including room 1 . It was a posted property and I was trespassing but I didn’t destroy or steal . A bit strange but I enjoyed walking through and take it all in so to speak . Sadly it was razed in late 99. Thank you for all your hard work into this and bringing truth .
Hope you update on Pauline's autopsy.
I see you still have trolls "spreading the gospel" of Buford. Maybe if they spent some time talking to people that really knew him, instead of being spoon fed the mama's milk version, they'd see that he was just as bad as the people he supposedly "fought against". Come to think of it, they probably think Star Wars was real too. Did you know that Darth Vader shut down 188 moonshine stills in his first year? Keep up the good work Mike
Darth Vader shut the stills down? I thought Obi-Wan did. 😂😂😂
My family knew him well and I've been told my whole life that the movie and people making him a good cop is wrong he was only tough on a view he was one of the most crooked cops of all time when the tbi finally proves he was dirty and murder people that been program to believe the walking tall movie will deny it sad that while being sheriff people was afraid to report him because he would be intrapped with fake charges my grand dad worked for him for a few years and he said most people was glade when his brakes went out but he should been in state pen
@@jefferymaness3645When the Highway was still 2 lane back then, it had a dip right before his skidmarks. Buford had just returned from California, was still jet lagged, mowed his yard, went to the fair, hung out with Dwana at the fair, and had played a few games of basketball with some locals, all in the same day. He was twice the legal limit of alchol in Tennessee, drove fast, was bad to fall asleep at the wheel according to his former deputy, and that model Corvette's front in floated when you got above 90. Dip, highspeed, dangerous light car, exhaustion, and alcohol equals tragic accident.
@@jefferymaness3645brakes didn't go out, he locked them down though.
Did you know Buford did you know anybody that did ?? So who are you to judge all this is here say
Yes glad to see you back enjoyed this episode,I enjoyed your book a must read;👍🏻The book about Paulines murder would be really interesting thank you...
Hear Here, I look forward to mike’s book too. I really enjoyed his other book.
@@ridgview This would make a very Interesting trial,, heavyinvestigation these days? Thank you for your comment...
Oh there would be such an investigation? Puford and his wife were getting divorced at the time he took a back road? Picked her For a police emergency call,,? Thank you very much for your comment....
Aman for the time and a time for the man. Buford was far from perfect but heros often are. A hero to some, a criminal to others. Always two sides.
My dad told a story of a meeting he and Buford had at the restaurant of the lakeview motel in south Jackson and Buford needing my dad to do something with him .
But why now 57 years later, if people out there in the law enforcement community suspected foul play?
Mike, it's great to see some new content from you. Since I'm no longer on Facebook, I'm not able to stay in contact with you like before. 'Hope you are doing well.
Like you, I’ve stepped away from Facebook.
Whether saved by grace or judged by Gods Law
The books will be open and your life will back it up.
Jesus says repent and believe or ye will perish.
Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
These guys act like they were any better than buford and why did it take 60 years for this to come up ive never heard a bad word about the guy guess they dug up his wife last week prob trying to blame that on him too guess we will see
You think Hollywood whom made a heavily fictional, but very successful film about Buford Pusser, wouldn't help cover up some of the truth?
7:49 and that is all I could take
Maybe these guys and they're boredom. Should take some of that time and read the dialogues of Plato if they do, they will finally learn the first rule of law enforcement. The law is most useful when it is useless and useless when it is most useful
And me personally, I hope they write better than they speak
The only thing we know for sure is that Bufford was Sheriff 😂
Yeah, and he loved the pusser. Pauline loved the opposite. He met her in Chicago.
His wife was gorgeous
I'm almost 65 born and raised in E. TN. I recall when I was around 14 and went to Wartburg High, in Morgan county. I didn't go to the show at the school one evening in 1974. Pusser made an appearance, one of the boy's that did attend told us a little about it. I recall that he said not many people showed up. I definitely remember he say Buford took off his shirt to show the scars on his body.
I'm 63 and I also went to Wartbrg high school
I really hate to hear all this. I saw the movie as many did when I was a kid and thought he was an American hero.
This is another life lesson of things aren’t always as they seem. 🤷🏻♂️
You cant believe these haters, they werent there, its all speculation. My Grandad was there, it wasnt all the Truth but Bufford was Robbed and Beaten and the local sheriff would not investigate it, He went to the local Church and told everyone about it and Promised he was going to make it right.
I think my Aunt Wanda Sipes may have dated Buford in the 60s... .. her married name was Wanda Strickland.. . 😮
Very interesting stuff. I would like to know how his record of law and order was outside of his other activities. Did he make many arrests ? Was crime up, down or unchanged during his tenure?
The actress who played Pauline I understand committed suicide
Yes, Her name was Elizabeth Hartman.
I know he was messing around on his wife because of a guy I was in the Marine Corps League with that was a Marine recruiter in that county. He said he and the Army recruiter were meeting up with these two women. One day when he went to meet her, she didn’t show up. He asked were she was and the Army recruiter said she had met up up with Pusser instead of coming to meet him. He said Pusser drove like a maniac. I believed after he told me that, Pusser might have killed his wife because he started seeing another woman on the side.
BULLLLLLLL KRAP
Men usually do try to kill their wife when they're messing around. Mine did, I know I'm not the only one too. It's plausible.
So the man shoots his face off .. gimme a break.. no headlights they knew the road like the black of their hands.. bull crap mike
Opinions are like arseholes…everyone has one and they all stink
Not everything is an opinion.
If Pauline was killed by Pussor then who shot Pussor?@
Himself..
So he didn't look guilty..
In his own face or jaw.?? Don't think so. Too risky
@@WillBlindYouWithLightAre you high? Anyone who knows the smallest amount about gunshots....would never risk it. ..to much bone, cartlidge=too many variables!!
Hearsay and speculation
Bufford Pusser for Sheriff ! ! !
Is it possible for the results to be blocked?
Buford wasn’t even close to the man the public thinks he was!!
The public was duped into believing a false legend.
@@bufordpusser1122 After watching all the investigations of his past I was very disappointed to find out after all these years I’ve been fooled into thinking he was so great!! lol
@@bufordpusser1122 I read yesterday that his wife was exhumed. I think something will come up that people didn't know.
@@bufordpusser1122 your benton co arkansas has had its share of controversy also. My question is why are you so interested in this story? What do you benefit from it? Why don’t you cover current stories in police depts ?
waiting on the next video
Hi guys . I've often wondered if the famous Vietnam Marine sniper; Carlos Hathcock was any relationship to the Hathcock at the state line.?? 😊 Thanks.
Yes a distance cousin
Was there an autopsy performed on Buford's body? If not do you know why?
I read that there was not. I hope that they will exhume his body and do an autopsy, as they are now doing for his wife. I also read that the state trooper who investigated the crash was quoted as saying that he died because of too much car, too much speed, and too much alcohol. Did they draw blood on his body? Otherwise, how would they know what his BAC was?
@@redneckgirl3326 I believe they killed Buford and now they're doing a Deep State move to destroy his legacy. Something smells fishy with the one perp trying to get out of prison and the exhumation of Pauline. Sounds like a dirty trooper to me. He couldn't make a statement like that with no medical documentation.
There wasn’t an autopsy, but blood was drawn & he had a blood alcohol level of .18, which is over twice the limit in Tennessee. Also, he was well known to speed regularly & had been in several other wrecks, several severe, over the years.
@@coyotehater I'm not buying it. It was way too easy to tamper with a BAC back in the day. Especially when it's politically motivated. I find it interesting that they were concerned about his BAC but not an autopsy. Where are the results and who performed them? Names of all the people involved with the testing and certifications? Chain of command? They were only concerned about making him look bad and guilty of causing the accident.
When the Highway was still 2 lane back then, it had a dip right before his skidmarks. Buford had just returned from California, was still jet lagged, mowed his yard, went to the fair, hung out with Dwana at the fair, and had played a few games of basketball with some locals, all in the same day.

I read or heard somewhere that Buford had the Plymouth Fury buried in a pasture in Hardin county. Very suspicious!
Crooks and corrupt sheriffs like to dispose of evidence.
Wow, now that would be something to discover.
I live in Hardin County and I’ll be on the look out now ! 😂
so part of this video he said moonshine makers that did not pay had their equipment smashed...my understanding is his county was moonshine free and he destroyed all that was in the county ...so everyone did not pay?? you lost me at that moment with your "opinion"
Interesting! I met Buford at a theater when I was nine. Always thought he was great! - based on the movie/s. But some of your words make sense. Not pro or con on the topic, just curious. I would like to add, you started off with the word "evidence". Through out the video, you said interviews and "heard".
I’ve never understood how this ambush worked. It just does not make sense to me
Nothing about that day, makes since.
@@MainManChannel2 I agree
C.n.n. and Fox news and Good Morning America should have you interviewed about this other story in the same week.❤😅❤😊
Interesting
Far more interesting than most people realize.
I'm being objective in this comment. The movie was "based" on his life. Hollywood will embellish some truth and make it box office worthy. Where does it say this is a "true Story". Why is this coming out YEARS after the death and all know what happened by talking to folks who will do anything to be famous. I don't know what he did and didn't do. But know when I listen to heresay. Facts? Show sworn affidavits of the ladies that had affairs? I watch this train wreck because I wanna make further opinions of how folks will smear. Why did his daughter kill herself. Is there comments about this?
exume paulene and do an autopsy today. But would not change anything. Most of the people involved today is dead!!!! Good video. Always hearing and knowing true history that happened in my life time. Thanks
Your wish came true .They exhumed her body two days ago.😮
The comments didn't disappoint....
Wasn’t he stabbed?
Alledgedly stabbed 8 times over his career. Alledgedly.
Talking the long way makes sense if he shot Pauline at the house. The amount of Pauline's blood in and outside the car. Burford shot himself in the mouth exiting through the cheek and jaw. Just a theory.
Never heard of these guys.
Sounds like two guys smearing a good man's name.
Sir, you're assuming he was a good man based upon what you know from a fictitious movie, whereas We have done our research.
@@bufordpusser1122 Where is your evidence. Documentation witnesses. All I saw was two men yapping it up and making up BS.
Sounds like you're a SYMPATHIZER for the STATE LINE MOB.
Toward the beginning one more or less says that he didn't expect a movie to be a movie. Then both admit that they didn't know his income---basic research. Not watching anymore. I want my time back. I just saw a thumbnail for episode 16---Seriously!
Waste of money and valuable resources
Did they leave the child home alone the night of the ambush?
all three of them were left at home
@@bufordpusser1122Mr. Mike, can u find a photo of BP's BLK girlfriend, Pearl?
This man got all these lies . Hell I can twist someone life around and change things to make it fit my narrative
For guy who got all these lies allegedly they are seems he's talked to a lot people and done his homework but when you believe a lie then that's you I personally think believe Mike's telling a true story period never met the man but would love to drink coffee and chat with him personally
Mike is making up he even have people making up stuff right along with him
@@Rockjunkie and so is Mike but a whole lot more
My question for these two men is this.
How come you waited all this time to come out with this garbage while Buford himself or people connected with him was still alive including his daughter Dwana Pusser.
First, there was no internet back in the 70s when Buford became known to us with "Walking Tall. Even in the 90s there wasn't much information about him on the internet and there were not that many social media pages to find people. Secondly, this is not "garbage as your propaganda describes it, but rather the product of investigative work. AS far as people, there are still a number of people around that knew Buford. You would know this had you dove any investigative work yourself. Buford killed himself in a DUI accident in 1974, I had no control over that. I was dispensing a lot of information about Buford's corruption well before Dwana committed suicide, so it appears that NONE of the information in your comment holds any substance.
@@bufordpusser1122 Whatever.
So glad Mike you’ve uploaded this latest video…been waiting for a while now. Love your book and have just gotten Oakley Dean Baldwin’s book off Amazon. (E-Book-Looking forward for your’s Mike in E-Book format…I have “Speechify” and am able to have it read to me in my car right off the Kindle pages with professional AI assisted voices. They sound like real life, not fake at all.) Can’t wait for your next segment of video to finish this story. Also, I’m looking forward to your new book. I’ll have to have you autograph ✍️ it for me too.
Exactly…
It is just a platform to elevate their notoriety. It’s a disgrace and nothing more than way to promote their book. Here we are 60 years later and y’all are trying to make a dollar off a dead man and wife’s name sake wtf! Shame on you Troll!
Elam's so called investigative work consists of Interviewing relatives of people that Buford busted for breaking the law. Sounds a bit biased hey??
Look at the photo of the car through the passenger door, those shoes are sitting there looks like they were placed there by someone other than who would be wearing them .
Maybe a cop put them there before the picture was taken
Growing up Buford Pusser was a hero of mine.
I spent some taking to my uncle by marriage who grew up in Selmer, Tennessee about Buford. My uncle was an honest man and a straight shooter when you asked him something.
To say he had a low opinion of Buford Pusser would be an understatement. I won’t repeat stories but Buford is no longer a hero in my eyes.
Mine too, until I learned he was corrupt.
@@bufordpusser1122 Strangely enough my uncle liked the Walking Tall movies although he said about the only truth in them was there was a man named Buford Pusser who was the Sheriff of McNairy County, Tennessee. Almost everything else he said was fictional or straight up lies.
Just talking b.s.
A 30-minute video on how to sell your fictitious book that tries to undercut a largely accurate story (some say 80%) that for years has stood the test of time. The word parasites comes to mind.
How can it be fictitious he did research like a good investigator and with law enforcement knowledge and going into files FBI and others so if FBI files says this is what we. Did and Mike Elam based it on that how is his book fiction I trust Mike Elam and no to my knowledge never met and to my knowledge I don't think I'm related after all I've never been to Arkansas
But Mike how long do you think it will take to do an autopsy on Pauline and what can thy learn
"Show me a hero, and l'll prove he's a bum."
COL "Pappy" Boyington...
That could only come from a man that has truly never put anyone besides himself first and a coward.
@@brockbusa21You must not know who Pappy Boyington was, he was a World War 2 fighter ace for the Marine Corps who was shot down and imprisoned by the Japanese until the war was over. Does that sound like a selfish person to you? If so, you need to check yourself and your beliefs. What he meant by saying that was no hero is perfect. Being a Marine myself, I think most people that serve in the military for this nation aren’t selfish if they are willing to lay their lives down for you and millions of other people they have never met.
@@lastofthefinest so his Quote was “show me a hero and I’ll prove he’s a bum”? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. That is saying he will basically dig into someone’s life and find someone from their past to overshadow an heroic act. I feel at this point I need to hit you with some cold hard truth. Pappy nor you have done NOTHING for me in my life for me to be where I am so you can take that pat on the back military stuff and shove it up you ass. Me,my brother,both grandfathers have NEVER said that to anyone because by saying that you expect a thank you. Did you get paid for your service? YES! No one owes you, me or pappy a damn thing. You need a better look on life and maybe stop leading off every conversation with how must everyone owes you something because you were in the military. Look up John “Chappy” Chapman there is a man you should look up to.
@@lastofthefinest I’m sorry but I re-read this after my initial response and it is filled with selfishness. I bet with that attitude you are the first one at the restaurants on Veterans Day. Why is it so important for you to let everyone you meet know you were in the military? I initial response was about a ridiculous quote from a man and that’s all the information anyone needed that read it. You turned it into pappy was in the military so no one can question or argue the ignorance of the quote itself. Then you went one to tell us that quote means no man is perfect while you let us know you were in the military and a marine which had no bearing on the subject other than needing reassurance you are better than any civilian and they can’t question anyone in the military no matter how ignorant they sound. Now do you still truly believe “SHOW ME A HERO AND I WILL PROVE HE’S A BUM” still translates NO MAN IS PERFECT?
Hey can we finish our conversation? I hardly slept last night because I kept trying to figure out the pappy quote and how your military past was a factor in the whole thing.
You should join the FBI
What evidence? No🎉 proof!!!
I've never heard of a cop that wasn't crooked and power hungry. Just look on the Internet. People are just finding out the truth about another one. Can't understand why anyone is surprised!?
So, all 750,000 cops in America are bad? Who do you call when you have a problem?
@@Bumper776 Yes they are. I've never called them punks for anything. I don't need them.
There are close to a million in the country and as usual, criminals hate the police. Big shocker.
I dont see alot of good cops sticking up for people when they are being abused by bad cops either , as a matter of fact most just stand there . There is literally thousands of videos on youtube about this @@Bumper776
All 750,000 law enforcement officers in America, are over worked, underpaid, disrespected, under equipped, under trained and are under a tremendous amount of stress. You absolutely can not pay the bills on what they make. Most have a second job or side gig, just to make ends meet. Most are honest and great people though.
Thank he really killed his wife????
He is still a legend.Yall 2 still hate him like the ones back then.Still trying to kill him and been dead,Lol.Poor lady get dug up for nonsense.Rediculous.Trajectories😜How yall know how she was sitting in car??Did she try to jump in back seat and get hit.Come on yall.Yall Buford dead.He did everything movie said.Yall jealous of the Man Buford Pusser.Still trying to tear him down.Ashame.
Please read before you reply.
Mike, I'll have ya know sir, I've spoken highly of your book sir! What you put together sure does put to bed a ton of folklore! Thank you sir! Great stocking stuffer? STill on Amazon?
Thanks, and yes it is at Amazon with a 15% discount until Christmas.
他会i。
I have two questions. One, how did a policeman afford a brand new Corvette? And, two, what made you want to investigate the character of a long-deceased sheriff in Podunk, Tennessee?
Buford became a celebrity after the movie came out. He traveled and spoke at paid engagements.
He would confiscate them from runners in shine ..side 👀👀👀👀👀
@@storinicole5793Wrong. He bought it with the income he got from the first movie.
He bought the corvette with the money from the movie proceeds.
@pennypendleton7345 Apparently Baker declined to play the part in the second film, and Buford was going to play himself. The sequel premiered in the fall of 1975.
As a little bit of lightening up the subject, does anyone here taking a good look at Pauline's picture, think that a great actress that would have been perfect to play her in a movie, would have been Actor Joffry Lewis's daughter actress Juliette Lewis, looks very much alike.
That is a great idea ! I love her movies. Just a great actress.
She is way too old and does not look like her.
The actress who played Pauline I understand committed suicide
True
Yes, sadly she jumped to her death.
Elizabeth Hartman. She was in A Patch of Blue with Sidney Poitier. She was a sweet soul who suffered from severe depression.
@@danlarson4513
I will amen that. Beautiful, talented, and fought her demons until that tragic day. Such a young age. RIP young actress.
