Episode 152 - Basket Full of Puppies, My Dude (2001 Anthrax Murders)

Murder, My Dude

The weeks immediately following the attacks on September 11, 2001 were wrought with paranoia and a sense that something else bad was going to happen imminently.

Those fears were made real on a smaller scale when it soon emerged that members of the media and the United States Senate were mailed letters containing spores carrying the deadly anthrax bacteria.

Though terrorism was initially feared, suspicion later fell on the scientific community who’d have the access and know-how to carry out the attacks. In 2008, they identified the suspected perpetrator, but did they get it right? We explore the case in this episode!

BUT FIRST This Week in Murder explores the Michigan State mass shooting and the murder of a transgender TikToker in the UK.

And, as always, we close things out with a game of Who Died The Worst!
