EPISODE 147

Finding the Bomber

Oct 15, 2023 | Podcast

3 white vehicles surrounding a red car. The red car belongs to a bomber in Austin TX who activated a device when the 3 surrounding police cars attempted to take him into custody.

In the spring of 2018, the city of Austin, Texas was rocked by a string of package bombs, five in all, that killed two and injured five. The story of how local and federal agencies tracked down the perpetrator is almost all open source and a great illustration of how these investigations proceed. Listen to Jim and Mike tell the tale in this episode!
