Footprints in the Dew

E.C. Mullendore III was shot between the eyes in his home on the family's 400,000-acre Cross Bell ranch on September 26, 1970. When he died he held the largest life insurance policy ever written in the U.S.

At the time the family owned the New Orleans Saints football team.

With E.C. that night was Damon "Chub" Anderson, a man who would end up on the most wanted list when he skipped bail on numerous charges including an arrest for growing the largest pot crop in Oklahoma history. He was on the run for 16 years before being captured in Montana where he had been working for media mogul Ted Turner under an alias.

Anderson was extradited to Kansas and sentenced to time in Lansing Prison. This is his life story as he told it to me.
