Ken Rex McElroy

Ken Rex McElroy was a career criminal who terrorized the small town of Skidmore, Missouri for over 20 years. In the span of his life he was charged with crimes ranging from arson to attempted murder, yet no matter the charge thrown at him, nor the evidence to convict him, he never spent more than a night in jail for the crimes and was never convicted. Until one day, after years of plaguing the residents of Skidmore and no justice being served someone took the law into their own hands and killed Ken Rex McElroy. In a crowd of more than 30 witnesses, yet to this day the case remains unsolved.

@@ericcarlton87 It’s disappointing how much people seem to prefer the same vigilante justice Ken Mc Elroy felt entitled to, above actual justice. The moment the village dared to come together and form an armed posse, they could have easily walked into the courtroom and demand the right legal action as well as a complete reshuffle of power. As it is right now, that same village allowed Trena to be kidnapped as a child, took away her dignity and left her with a bunch of kids without a future. As I understand it, both she and her kids are now outcasts of society without any compensation for having lost their main source of income. When did she lose her status as a victim before the town suddenly decided not to agree anymore with the man that took her unopposed? Why would it have been her responsibility as a child when the whole village decided to let Mc Elroy have her? Up to the point that village decided to turn against their bully by taking his life, they were de facto agreeing with him. In some cases even protecting him by choosing not to come forwards. Not to deny the fact most of those choices were involuntary. But trying to state the obvious here, especially since a majority seems to happily ignore that reality. It’s telling how kidnapping a child, raping it and forcing it to marry him, wasn’t perceived to be worth correcting. But the moment one man (and thus all men’s) life was at stake, they formed a posse and dealt with him. Don’t you see how Ken Mc Elroy was, and sadly still is, merely a pionier in determining the boundaries of ‘accepted’ vigilantism? Or could you argue reasonably how the next ‘bully’ who would ‘only’ decide to kidnap and rape children won’t get away with it in that town this time?

I'm from very near skidmore. I know the story, I also know the facts.

[@Cadaber]

Know who pulled the trigger? 👀

[@damionbeanstormchasing9892]

There were 3 shooters.

[@damionbeanstormchasing9892]

But yes

[@Cadaber]

Was one of them Dale Clement?

[@damionbeanstormchasing9892]

I'll give you a solid clue here but I won't say names. If you've seen the Sundance documentary, two of them are on that

[@_HONK]

all im saying is he put a target on his back so big a blind person would hit it

[@urmum9898]

The fact that you had only just hit 100 when you released this is insane I just discovered your channel and would have that you had at least 10k by this time with this quality. At 254k now keep up the good work my man!

[@sleepybobby]

Just found your videos. I love these! I'm excited to see more!

[@MyMiserableLife]

Love this channel, saw it on reddit a few months back. Quality.

[@Cadaber]

I’m very glad you like the content, there’s more to come.

[@customxphoto]

Man this story put me in a rage. I'm ready to buy a plane ticket to buy this town a beer. Justice was served.

[@therealswitzerwicki5752]

Discovered your channel recently, nice videos! The topics you do are really interesting, and I appreciate the content.

[@Cadaber]

Thank you, welcome to the community :-)

[@YTmoney88]

thanks for covering this. I've always wanted to hear the story.

[@olireid7577]

I'm starting a binge of your videos and Holy shit man, you are massively underrated. you make quality content that is really intriguing and fun to watch. Keep it up man

[@Cadaber]

I absolutely will, thank you very much. You and everyone else enjoying my content seriously makes me making videos worth it. You’re awesome.

[@asserm.8047]

this might just be the most extreme case of justified vigilante justice in history

[@Swnsasy]

Absolutely love how you do this.. Definitely subbing... What did the cops expect though? He was so hated that they probably see whomever did it as a hero..

[@jacobyork726]

Loved the video. Your voice is very nice to listen to. I think your intros with the music gives it a very official documentary vibe. I subbed man!

[@Cadaber]

Thank you, I’m glad you like my style

[@songbird6414]

I feel like the “unsolved” here is more of a “we know what happened but are we going to do anything about it? Hell no”

[@guymontag7467]

I love how even in this relatively recent video he's commenting about hitting 100 subs. Have a great time with 19k and I hope you keep growing! I believe!!!

[@ilikechamomile4502]

Wow 2 years ago cadaber had just 100 subscriptions 😭😭🙏🏾 he’s come a long way I love the videos btw 🔥

[@BrokenWingsSC]

I could listen to you talk literally all day long!! I love your voice and how you narrate !!!

[@Cadaber]

Awe thank you, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying it

[@jackm9206]

Just wait man! You'll be big one day. Your video quality is amazing! The next nexpo on the way up! Amazing stuff

[@reallawless]

I have a feeling that everyone knows damn well who the vigilante is but won’t give them up because they did a public service. That vigilante probably hasn’t bought a single drink in that town ever since he killed that SOB.

[@duanehall2213]

Yu. Mean. Not. At. That. Tavern ..lol

[@duanehall2213]

They. Definitely. Did a. Public. Service....Rightfully. So

[@Colddirector]

Even the cops probably know, and only made a token effort to investigate this.

[@analshipment3214]

This chanel is truly gold❤️👍👍 Glad I found it

[@travisn2875]

Congratulations on your success and extra kudos for your acknowledgment of your supporters. So many KZbin folks fail to do that or just give phony lip service. You genuinely appreciate it and that will serve you well. 🙂

[@wesparsons5331]

Imagine being the sort of person that you can be shot point blank in plain daylight in front of your community as they watch and nobody saw nothing...

[@PTAiZTragiC]

6 months ago: "i never thought id be at 100 subs" Now: 70k

[@gonemadp5594]

This makes me so anger I have a family member going through something like this it goes to show how in the court room nothing is taking serious it’s crazy

[@donaldcameron3064]

I lived about 2 hours south of Skidmore and had customers in Maryville, Missouri, not far from Skidmore. One day, in the mid 1980s, I drove into Skidmore to a corner gas station that you can see in the move and in the book which I think was titled "Hurry Sundown". No one at the gas station would talk to me, said they had no idea what I was talking about. One tight ship. Everyone who was an eye witness to the shooting of McElroy will one day be dead and gone. Maybe years from now someone will come forward, but I doubt it.

[@sourbrothers73]

I dig the "100 subscriber celebration" Now you have 20k+

[@foscogrubb]

Quality video. Can't wait to see this channel grow

[@Cadaber]

Thank you for that, feel free to share my stuff around. I’m glad you enjoyed my content.

[@roycesann168]

The way you explain everything is so great and I’m surprised you’re not way bigger

[@stalememes]

Six months late but I’d like to say that this was an extremely well said and entertaining video, love this channel

[@MultiNaruto900]

"You reap what you sow." Ken shot and killed a man for no reason. He, in turn, would be shot and killed. As an old saying goes, "treat others the way you want to be treated."

[@Cadaber]

Well technically Ken never killed anyone, he just shot two men. But he had it coming regardless

[@silentnyix225]

Also, "When I was in the process of making this video I passed 100 subscribers, that's such a huge number to me!" Aww bet you didn't think a few months later you'd be sitting on 17k! And it's so, so well deserved. Like you made content this good at 100 subs? That's amazing!

[@Cadaber]

First off congratulations on passing that. It’s a huge milestone 😊 you’re amazing and wonderful. Also I am truly sorry you had to experience that type of violence. I really do hope you’re safe

[@chungobungo3657]

Nice to find a channel that I know is gonna blow up, before it blows up.

[@sandrafaith]

BTW: just found your channel and am bingeing like a mad thing. Great content.

[@loictanguay3161]

I love the production quality of this channel it feel like a documentary. Except for the mic but i know these thing are expensive and your present mic is alright

[@Cadaber]

That will be the next big purchase haha

[@hatimelzubair8660]

He must of did something terrifying things to the police to keep them from like blackmailed them and threatened to kill their family

[@annikaheydl7342]

You need to do more of these true crime vids, they’re amazing!

[@Cadaber]

Oh I definitely have more of those coming.

[@zethayn]

What a frightening- and fascinating- story, and the channel! I hope you get more subscribers soon, you deserve it.

[@Cadaber]

Thank you! That’s very kind of you to say. I’m glad you enjoyed the story 😊

[@wi11ow8]

Everytime Ken was accused of something: uhhh red sus *Red was not the imposter* Also dude, your editing skills blow me away:) keep up the good work!

[@Cadaber]

Red is looking pretty sus to me. And thank you, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying it

[@wi11ow8]

Cadaber, u have got your self a new sub :D

[@dethklokyaoi]

thank you for the trigger warning!! not many people do that and it's nice to not have to worry about having my triggers just thrown in my face with no warning

[@Cadaber]

You’re welcome. 😊 I will always include warnings like that

[@benjaminmatheny6683]

Glad you mentioned the most under reported part, it's insane that he got away with so much even when going to court. No lawyer is that good. His jury tampering is often overlooked.

[@harrisonlee9585]

Ken: * dies * Residents of Skidmore: Delicious ultraviolence.

[@darwin9294]

Just now finding your channel. You deserve far more attention, great video on this actual human garbage.

[@Cadaber]

If Ken did anything good in life or death, it was helping my numbers increase haha

[@Cadaber]

And also thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@jordonstalder8404]

Sheriff gave the ol boys the green light... Wasn't no coincidence that the sheriff left town right before they lit his ass tf up. 😎

[@squill3256]

Holy shit man, this is some serious animation and editing. Good stuff.

[@petergallagher1790]

The fact you made this very high quality video with only 100 subscribers is very impressive to me
