Conspiracies & the Unknown: The Octopus, A Journalist Who Knew Too Much

In today's second episode of Conspiracies and & the Unknown, Carter Roy investigates the mysterious death of journalist Danny Casolaro, who was found dead in a West Virginia hotel room in 1991 just as he claimed to be on the verge of exposing a vast global conspiracy he called “the Octopus.” Danny believed powerful government officials, intelligence agencies, and criminal networks were secretly connected through stolen software, covert weapons programs, and international corruption. After his death was ruled a suicide, his most critical files vanished, fueling decades of suspicion. Was Danny unraveling under pressure, or was he silenced for getting too close to the truth?
