Show notes

In the weeks after 9/11, letters laced with anthrax began arriving at newsrooms and Senate offices, killing five people and sending the country into a second wave of panic. The investigation that followed lasted years, consumed governmental resources, and ultimately pointed to a lone government scientist, Dr. Bruce Ivins, who died before he faced trial. The government closed the case in 2011, but not everyone was convinced they got it right.For special episodes and outtakes from Justin & Aaron visit: patreon.com/generationwhyAudible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Generation Why ad-free right now.
