In 2002, the D.C. metro area was held hostage by fear. Two people, one rifle, and a blue Chevy Caprice turned everyday routines into high-stakes survival. John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo — the DC Snipers — left an entire region ducking at gas stations, canceling outdoor plans, and praying on their way anywhere.
But this isn’t just a crime story. It’s a wild mix of manipulation, power, trauma, and a twisted bond between a grown man and a teenage boy that left America shook.
In this episode, we break it all down the way we do — part history lesson, part cultural analysis, and part “wait, what?!” commentary. We talk about how the attacks played out, how law enforcement scrambled, and how Black communities were caught between fear and confusion the whole time.
You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, and you’ll probably text your cousin like, “Yo, remember this?!”
Hit play to relive the case that made people think twice about filling up their tank.
Rate the pod, follow us, and send this one to that friend who still checks for white vans just in case.
