August 29, 2025, The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation along with the Tennessee Attorney General held a press conference concluding that if Sheriff Bufford Pusser was still alive, that they would seek an indictment for Murder, in the death of Sheriff Pusser's wife Pauline Pusser in 1967. People are familiar with Sheriff Pusser from the movies "Walking Tall" which was a tale of the Sheriff of McNairy County, Tennessee. This moved millions, and created a legend in the state of Tennessee.After examining the released reports, Mike is going to discuss the key elements to the TBI's investigation. Mike is no stranger to the case, is in large part the reason why the murder of Pauline Pusser was re-examined, after over 20 years of researching the case, interviewing witnesses, and actually turning over the Carbine Rifle that ultimately led to Pauline Pusser being exhumed for her first autopsy. Mike's resolve is amazing, despite the years of threats, insults, and personal sacrifice not only for him but for his family to find justice for Pauline. As Mike says "The Truth has no Agenda", and essentially his persistence for justice is why we are talking about this case today...Mike has become a friend of mine, whom I have tremendous respect for his passion and determination with respect to seeking the truth... Someone I consider as one of the heroes in this story.

When someone extends a gesture of kindness, it is the reciprocal act of appreciation which solidifies a bond between individuals. "Thank you" expressed in a heartfelt way is enough to seal the deal as two people lock eyes and embrace. It is very powerful. The frequency is balanced, energy exchanged in a precious moment. If the gratitude is expressed at a distance, it can be equally impactful. A story can overwhelm the mind and open the heart to a cosmic connection. It happened with Dottie. The perfect analogy for a lesson awaits. She lives in the heart of Michigan for a reason. Her goodness requires a big place to hold such a truly kind, divine spirit.

Kuklinski was also recorded boasting he killed a man by putting cyanide on his hamburger, and of his plans to kill "a couple of rats" On December 17, 1986, Kuklinski met Polifrone to get cyanide for a planned murder, which was to be an attempt on an undercover police officer. After the recorded conversation with Polifrone, Kuklinski went for a walk. He tested Polifrone's purported cyanide on a stray dog, using a hamburger as bait, and saw it was not poison. Suspicious, Kuklinski decided not to go through with the planned murder and went home instead. He was arrested at a roadblock two hours later.

Officers discovered a firearm in the vehicle, and she was charged with possession of a firearm because she was a passenger......... More to come.....

Billy Queen, raised in North Carolina and son of an ATF Agent, served as a Special Forces soldier in the US Army during the Vietnam War. After leaving the military, he served as a police officer in NC for six years, then became an agent with the U.S. Border Patrol where he served for 2 years before joining the ATF. Early operations included infiltrating the Aryan Nation and the KKK. Then in early 1998, as part of an operation to infiltrate motorcycle gangs, he joined the San Fernando Valley chapter of the Mongols Motorcycle Club as Billy St. John, and he became a full patch member where he served for 28 months.Billy was incredibly successful in his undercover operation within the ranks of bikers, and after receiving his full patch member status, elevated to hold the position of secretary/treasurer, and then chapter vice-president. This led to a series of raids that were carried out on May 19, 2000 to include almost 700 lawmen in four states, which led to the arrest and indictment of 54 gang members. The ATF later described Queen’s time undercover as “its most successful “biker gang” penetration.He has received multiple awards, and following his retirement, Billy wrote a book called Under and Alone: The True Story of the Undercover Agent who Infiltrated America’s Most Violent Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. The book became a bestseller upon its release in 2005.It has been said, that if there was a Mt. Rushmore of undercover agents, Billy would certainly be one of the legends on the mountain.
