Town Bully

McElroy escaped conviction for any of the crimes (despite 22 indictments) often by intimidating witnesses. In a town of less than 450, McElroy would park outside an accuser's house perhaps 100 times brandishing his guns. His Kansas City attorney Richard "Gene" McFadin was called in repeatedly to handle the legal matters.
McElroy was a
On one occasion a highway patrolman pulled McElroy over following the rape of a 12-year-old school girl, only to find himself retreating as McElroy emerged from his pickup truck and leveled a sawed-off shotgun at the officer. No warrant was ever issued for McElroy's arrest over that incident.
McElroy had a penchant for young girls and many bore him children. He escaped a rape charge with Trena McElroy by marrying her.
The entire town lived in absolute fear, with anyone who crossed McElroy (and usually their relatives, as well) sure to get phone calls, night visits, and death threats.
1981 assassination
In 1980, a scuffle between one of McElroy's children and 70-year-old Bo Bowenkamp over paying for a candy bar at Jim's Grocery (originally B & B Grocery) escalated with McElroy once again adopting his intimidation practice of stalking Bowenkamp. McElroy fired a shotgun at Bowenkamp at near point blank range at the store. Bowenkamp survived and McElroy was convicted of attempted murder.

However, since nobody else would corroborate the story, prosecutor David Baird refused to prosecute. A federal investigation was also unable to bring the killer to trial.
Aftermath of Shooting Incident
In 1984 Richard McFadin filed a $5 million wrongful death civil lawsuit in on behalf of Trena McElroy against Sheriff Estes, the Skidmore mayor and Del Clement (who had been accused by Trena as the killer). The lawsuit was dropped, however an out of court settlement was reached.The defendants settled out of court for $17,600, with the county paying $12,600, Skidmore $2,000 and Clement $3,000. No one admitted guilt. They said the settlement was made to avoid costly legal fees should the suit go forward.
The preacher who did the service at Ken's funeral moved because of threats he received.Fact|date=March 2008
In the fall of 1982 the farmhouse on Valley Road where Ken McElroy lived burned down.
Trena remarried and moved away from Skidmore. Other McElroy children still live in the area.
