Three-year TBI investigation concludes McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser, immortalized in the movie 'Walking Tall,' likely killed his wife Pauline Pusser and staged the 1967 crime scene.

MARTIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — A decades-old cold case investigation has concluded with shocking findings about one of Tennessee's most famous lawmen: legendary McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser likely murdered his wife in 1967, investigators say.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and a local District Attorney's office announced the conclusion of their three-year investigation into the death of Pauline Mullins Pusser, whose body was exhumed and autopsied after her 1967 death went unsolved for decades.

"Events did not occur as stated by Buford Pusser and that Pauline Pusser was more likely than not shot outside the vehicle and then placed inside the vehicle," said Mark Davidson, District Attorney General for the 25th Judicial District in a news conference held at the University of Tennessee at Martin.

The investigation found that Pusser's gunshot wound was likely self-inflicted, contradicting his original account of the incident.
