William M. Schmalfeldt Sr.

I Killed Osama: (...and That Hussein Fella, Too!) William M. Schmalfeldt Sr.

In all my years of reporting on the human condition, this has to be the most bizarre, and (if true) history shattering interviews I?ve ever conducted. This story is told by Billy ?Big Rig,? a pseudonymous truck driver I met over sausage gravy and biscuits in the late 1990s when I was driving a truck to make ends meet. We struck up a friendship, although I think I maybe spoke 10 words to him the whole time I knew him. He did most of the talking. And the way he spun a yarn caused me to be transfixed. Over time, he would add new details to his story, but it always held together at the center. After I retired, I would occasionally receive a microcassette dictated by Billy with a new part of the story. Finally, I asked him to sit down and put his whole story together so we could share it with the world. Here it is. Like it or not, believe it or not.
