    Was it Murder

    In this episode, Candy and Eugene welcome Special Agent Sarah back to the podcast. On September 8, 1985, Ana Mendieta, a 36 year old artist well-known for her feminist-focused work, died after plunging from a 34th story window in New York. Her husband, Carl Andre, also a well-known artist, was present at the time, and was subsequently charged with her murder.  In 1988, he was acquitted of wrong-doing in her death. The story of Mendieta's death has lingered, especially since the 2022 Death of an Artist podcast. The Agents discuss the case at length in today's episode. Thank you for listening to The Agency Podcast. If you enjoy this broadcast you might also enjoy Agent Eugene's new YouTube channel, Rediscovering my Toronto.
