Sheriff Buford Pusser Final Chapter

By Oakley Dean Baldwin and Doris Barber Baldwin

The author pulls back the curtain on what the public was never meant to see: the original Tennessee Bureau of Investigation files from two separate investigations into the alleged ambush and murder of Pauline Mullins Pusser. For decades, the Walking Tall films shaped a cultural myth. But legends have shadows, and when readers revisit this childhood icon through documented evidence, they'll discover that the story they thought they knew was incomplete, distorted, and in places, entirely wrong. This book is not speculation. It is a primary source, built on the TBI's own words, findings, and case materials. Inside are the details that never made headlines: startling reenactments, ballistic results that challenge long-held beliefs, forensic evidence that was ignored or dismissed, and investigative threads that shift the narrative in jaw-dropping ways. Meticulously researched and relentlessly factual, this is a must-read for serious true crime enthusiasts, a rare chance to examine the case through the same lens investigators used, and to confront the truth hidden beneath decades of legend.
