Gone South is a weekly podcast series about crimes that are, in one way or another, Southern. Each episode contains its own story, usually told by the person who committed the crime, the person who solved it, or both. In telling these stories, writer and host Jed Lipinski encounters insights not only about crime and The South, but about human nature.
Previous seasons of Gone South include:
Season 1: Who Killed Margaret Coon?
Season 2: The Dixie Mafia
Season 3: The Sign Cutter
Gone South is an Audacy original.

Gone South

Nearly six decades after Pauline Pusser’s murder, Tennessee investigators finally reveal what really happened. The TBI’s new findings suggest Walking Tall sheriff Buford Pusser staged the ambush that made him famous — and may have killed his wife. Host Jed Lipinski follows the fallout in Adamsville as investigators, locals, and lifelong believers wrestle over one question: what happens when a legend falls?
