The DC Sniper

In the fall of October 2002, a series of seemingly random shootings occurred in and around Washington, D.C. The country was still reeling from the events of September 11, 2001, and these shootings were terrifying. The authorities figured out the shootings extended to multiple states. They eventually identified the snipers as 41-year-old John Allen Muhammad and 17-year-old Lee Boyd Malvo.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the senseless and terrifying acts of Muhammad and Malvo. In a relatively short period of time, police believe the pair murdered at least 15 people and injured over a dozen more. But who were they? And, how did Muhammad get the younger Malvo to go along with his plan which revolved around a number of random shootings to hide his one true target?
