About Ken McElroy in brief
Ken Rex McElroy was a resident of Skidmore, Missouri, United States. He was known as ‘the town bully’ and was accused of dozens of felonies, including assault, child molestation, statutory rape, arson, hog and cattle rustling, and burglary. In all, he was indicted 21 times but escaped conviction each time, except for the last. In 1981 he was convicted of shooting and seriously injuring the town’s 70-year-old grocer, Ernest “Bo” Bowenkamp, the previous year. The next day he was shot to death in broad daylight as he sat with his wife Trena in his pickup truck. To date, no one has been charged in connection with Mc Elroy’s death. He fathered more than 10 children with different women, including one who was 12 years old and in eighth grade when he met her.
He raped McCloud repeatedly, also burning her house down and shooting the family dog before her parents relented and agreed to their marriage. He told the foster family that he would trade his child for the biological daughter’s school bus route and where she went to school. In 1980, one of McElory’s children got into an argument with a young child and tried to steal some candy from the young child’s home. He shot and killed the child’s mother, Eveylyn Sumy, in a local grocery store. He also shot and seriously injured a local farmer, Romaine Henry, after he challenged him for shooting weapons on Henry’s property.
