Some say yes and some say no. What is the opinion here?

She might have been there "the night he died" but she was not there WHEN he died, so she has absolutely no possible way of knowing whether he was killed or not. Sorry pal.
Clearly you don't know "everything about his life". -

No. People have a hard time accepting the fact that someone who was so much larger than life died in such a routine way as a car accident as a result of his own carelessness. No facts from the accident or anything else seem to give any actual evidence to the fact that he was murdered. People say his car was tampered with but the day he died his car was parked at a county fair with thousands of people around, surely at least one person would have seen someone tampering with the car of the most famous person at the fair. People say that while Buford was driving fast Buford always drove fast and was safer at high speeds than most people driving the speed limit. The truth is Buford was driving a new car that he wasn't familiar driving yet, a model whos front and would lift up causing the exact kind of accident that Buford had when driven at unsafe speeds. I'm no car expert but I do know its just stupid to push a new car too fast before giving it time to get "broke in," Buford also had been drinking at the fair, in the heat, all day and ate two sandwitches which he left sitting in the heat in his car all day after leaving the fair. All factors which contributed to his death. While its tragic and sad that he died so young but I'm sorry to say there has never been and probably never will be any real evidence to even indicate that Buford was murdered.

It was the "sandwitches" that did him in. Eat crysalized silicon and "some witches" and I'd like to see how you wind up. 24 hours later anyway
I never expect to know the truth behind Pusser's death nor do I really want to know. There is so much urban legend around this whole thing that I doubt anyone will ever know.
Bottom line for me is that his character and his historical figure represented what was good and just. Don't know about the reality and don't care. I admire how he responded to threats and how he did his job. If I read the history correctly, he had more guts than I ever hope to have. Face your enemies, take them on at their level and yours, and leave the outcome to come what may.
It don't get any ballsier than that! May he always "walk tall"!

LMAO, but at least you are correct in your self assessment that you are "no car expert"
After that gut buster I almost couldn't control myself when I read your sandwich theoryGEEZUS -

I am from McNairy County, so i know it very well. But i have a question. Pauline died in the ambush on New Hope Roadi know where it is but i don't know any "landmarks" that can tell me what part of the road the ambush took place. I'm from southeast McNairy County.
Here lies Les Moore-two slugs from a .44 - No less no more.
