Najgłośniejsze morderstwo o którym nie słyszeliście.

Usa prawie 50 lat temu strzelec rozwalił ciężarówkę z 20 tonami dynamitu; którą prowadził współpracownik.

On September 30, 48 year old truck driver John Galt was operating a truck leased to Tri-State Motors, hauling a load of more than 20 tons of dynamite along I-44 en route to a mining area in southeastern Missouri.

Shots were fired on Galt’s truck, triggering a massive explosion that shattered windows 12 miles away in Springfield, Missouri. A crater that was 50 feet wide and 30 feet deep was left on I-44.

Galt died instantly in the explosion. Galt was a father of four making his first run for Tri-State Motors.

No one else was killed or seriously hurt.

A witness later reported seeing shots fired from a car and gave police the license plate number. Police were able to track down the car and found a .30‐30‐caliber rifle as well as a spent shell.

Two Tri-State company drivers and Teamster members, Bobby Lee Shuler and Gerald Lee Bowden, both 29 at the time, were charged with second-degree murder. Bowden’s wife, Sharon Lynn Bowden, was also charged with second-degree murder, though it isn’t clear whether she was ever convicted.

Shuler was sentenced to 99 years in prison and paroled after 8 years in prison.

Gerald Bowden was also convicted on second-degree murder charges and sentenced to 10 years. He was paroled in 1975.
