Sheriff Buford Pusser was hailed as the toughest lawman in America. His war on crime inspired the hit movie Walking Tall and made him a folk hero. But a new investigation has uncovered evidence that he may have murdered his own wife, Pauline.

Pauline was killed in what Buford claimed was a mob ambush in 1967. Decades later, her body was exhumed and the findings pointed to him. Investigators say her wounds, blood spatter, and old injuries do not match his story. Was Buford a hero who fought the Dixie Mafia, or a killer who built his legend on lies?
