The Killer Trick Roper: "Tricky" Riggle
In tiny Wheatland, Wyoming, Herschel "Tricky" Riggle had a successful rodeo act involving a three legged horse and knife throwing. However, Wheatland's idyllic main street was rocked by violence in 1953 when Riggle shot two people to death in the town's small café. We hear what happened and how some people still believe Governor Milward Simpson's reaction to the event had an impact on his 1958 attempt at re-election.
