Mike Elam, Dennis Hathcock, and Danny Cupples

This Friday, September 5, 2025, Episode #65 will feature Mike Elam, Dennis Hathcock, and Danny Cupples. Following a huge announcement last week from the Tennessee Attorney General and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at a press conference that following a reexamining of evidence from the 1967 murder of Pauline Pusser. Pauline and her husband, Sheriff Buford Pusser, who inspired the 1973 movie "Walking Tall", were allegedly ambushed in the early am hours of August 12, 1967.The announcement was if Sheriff Pusser was still alive, there would be probable cause to believe Sheriff Pusser murdered his wife Pauline. Definitely a bombshell announcement, considering that Sheriff Pusser was considered an Iconic Figure in Tennessee law enforcement history....Mike Elam is no doubt the reason this case was re-opened, and he shined a light on this case, that made it possible to get to where we are today....Dennis Hatchcock, is not only a witness who actually showed up near the murder scene later that morning, but also tbe nephew of Louise Hathcock who was shot and killed by Sheriff Buford Pusser on February 1, 1966. In the movie Walking Tall, it shows her sitting at the bar with a sawed off shotgun in her lap at the Lucky Seven, which was not really what happened. Dennis's father ran the Plantation Club that in the movie, Pusser was cut up in and dumped on a rural road to die...Danny who is also a relative of the Hathcock's and certainly a frequent co-host and guest to this podcast will also be joining us to help unpack the recent decision from the TBI... Will be interesting stuff no doubt...
