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

<p><strong>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.</strong></p> <p><strong>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.</strong></p> <p><strong>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!</strong></p> <p><strong>BUT FIRST This Week in Murder explores the Michigan State mass shooting and the murder of a transgender TikToker in the UK.</strong></p> <p><strong>And, as always, we close things out with a game of Who Died The Worst!</strong></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/murdermydude/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/murdermydude/support</a>
