What motive would the bad guys have for killing the sheriff's wife? That's weak.

An intended ransom kidnapping gone bad, perhaps?

Even to this day, there are those who figure that the murder of Tennessee Sheriff Buford *Walking Tall* Pusser's wife Pauline in a drive-by ambush on the early morning of 12 August 1967 was a setup by the sheriff.

Of course, many of those helping that speculation along were among those involved in that and other attempts at getting the pesky lawman out of the way. And five years later, the sheriff was indeed out of the way, just after a press conference in which he announced that the rest of the real story- including the names of those behind his wife's murder- would be a part of the script.

The Florida sheriff would look a lot better if he'd been at home when his wife had returned, or if he'd been in the car with her, as Pusser was. And had the scars to prove it.

If you were going to kidnap someone for ransom, don't you think you'd pick someone with a little more money than a sheriff?
