The Murder of Ken McElroy
The murder
Ken McElroy, born in 1934, was a despised member of his community. He lived in Skidmore, Missouri, and was a known bully and unconvicted criminal. Ken managed to avoid being prosecuted for over 20 crimes during his lifetime by threatening key witnesses; some of the crimes Ken committed were theft, statutory rape, arson, and attempted murder. He had ten children with several women and met his third wife when she was just 12-year-old, and she gave birth to Ken’s baby at the age of 14.
It seemed like Ken could get away with anything; he could rape a 14-year-old girl and marry her, he could steal whatever he wanted, and he could make any house he wanted to turn into ashes. However, someone in Skidmore finally had enough; if there was no legal way to get rid of Ken McElroy, he had to disappear some other way.
On July 10, 1981, Ken walked into a bar where he had a couple of drinks. He then purchased more alcohol to take home and went back outside to his truck. While sitting in his truck, Ken was shot twice with two different weapons. Ken’s young wife sat next to him, but she was not harmed. Almost 50 people witnessed the murder of Ken, but no one called for an ambulance. Ken died at the scene, and a murder investigation was launched.
Despite there being almost 50 witnesses, no one was able - or perhaps more likely wanted to - point out the person responsible for Ken’s death. The only person who claimed to have seen anything was Ken’s wife; she accused a local man of murdering her husband, but he was never charged with the murder due to lack of evidence.
Aftermath
The murder of Ken McElroy remains unsolved, but there are definitely many people who know who killed Ken. The residents of Skidmore most likely want to protect the killer since he/she did what everyone wished for; for Ken McElroy to get out of their lives.
Now if only we could do this to Travis McElroy.

Grýla is a Icelandic giantess who comes down from the mountains every year at Christmas time to eat the flesh of naughty children. She was apparently so frightening that a public decree was issued in 1746 prohibiting the use of Grýla to terrify children.
I think this is a great shame. Truly, is there anything more in keeping with the spirit of the season than cannibalism and infanticide?

There's only one choice for Christmas No. 1 this year and it's not those sausage roll wankers.
