The Boston Marathon bombing occurred on April 15, 2013, during the city’s 117th annual marathon. This is a world famous race, attracting participants from across the globe, and thousands of people had gathered near the finish line on Boylston Street near Copley Square. Suddenly, two homemade pressure cooker bombs exploded within 4 seconds of each other, just 210 yards apart. Tragically, three people were killed that day, and more than 260 others were injured.
In this episode, we look into the Boston Marathon bombing and the unsolved Waltham triple homicide. We will explore who Tamerlan Tsarnaev was and discuss theories about his potential role in the murder, his radicalization and time on the Terrorist Watch List, and whether he may have been an FBI informant. From anti-Semitic motives to robbery theories, and the shocking connections that link these events to one of the largest acts of terrorism on US soil... we're about to tell you a story that you will shock you.
