MacLean had doors slammed in his face, guns pulled on him, and was bitten by a dog. Eventually, he won over the closed community of Skidmore, Missouri. The inhabitants shared with him the reign of terror Ken Rex McElroy inflicted for 20 years in Northwest Missouri and information about his murder on the main street of Skidmore in 1981.
