"Exhumation of Pauline Pusser's Body Reignites Cold Case Investigation"

The body of Pauline Pusser, the wife of famed former Tennessee sheriff Buford Pusser, was exhumed more than 50 years after her unsolved murder following a recent tip received by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Pauline was fatally shot in 1967 while in a car with her husband, whose story inspired the film "Walking Tall." The exhumation was conducted to perform an autopsy and gather crucial information in hopes of identifying those responsible for her death. Buford Pusser, known for his efforts to combat organized crime, was also the subject of a fatal car wreck in 1974.
