There are some unsolved mysteries that aren’t mysteries at all.

On the afternoon of July 10, 1981, a group of 40 townspeople surrounded a brown Chevrolet pickup truck in the small town of Skidmore, Missouri. In a short burst of gunfire they shot the man in the driver's seat to death. HIs wife was unharmed.

In total there may have been as many as 46 witnesses to the execution of Ken McElroy. No one was ever charged.
