Description
An Elvis Presley impersonator's conspiracy theory sets off a feud that spirals into an attempted presidential assassination. You'd think a story with that plot was fiction until it unfolds before our eyes in the three-episode true crime docuseries "The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga."

"An interesting factoid about this story is these letters are intercepted right on the heels – 24 hours – after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013," Maclain said. "It was a big story.
