We’re heading back to Polk County, Tennessee, where moonshine, murder, and family feuds ran deep. After covering Bill Hedden’s case, we dug deeper and uncovered the wild, violent history of his uncle, Garrett Hedden.
From shooting his own brother in 1898 to a bloody standoff with revenue agents, Garrett was a true outlaw. But his own family would be his downfall. In 1903, his nephew and moonshining partner Riley Hedden nearly killed him over an old grudge. And in 1908, Sheriff Biggs and his posse finally ended Garrett’s reign with a hail of gunfire.
But the Hedden saga didn’t stop there—revenge, crime, and tragedy followed this family for decades. Their story is as wild as it gets.
