Vanished: John Wilkes Booth "X Marks the Spot‪"‬ Vanished

    • History

I have a lot of heavy lifting to do.

In part 3 of our series on John Wilkes Booth, my investigation is in full swing. Joined by a world class guest list, I dive into the case head first in an effort to understand how and why Booth might have escaped, the complex introduction of DNA into the case, and the first trial that took place on this case a little over a quarter century ago.

Welcome back to Vanished. This is part 3 of our series on John Wilkes Booth.
