    James Holmes

    “It was supposed to be a night of escapism—a midnightscreening of a summer blockbuster. But on July 20, 2012, inside a packed theatre in Aurora, Colorado, fiction gave way to horror.

His name: James Holmes.” In this episode, we unravel the chilling descent of a once-promising neuroscience student into one of the most infamous mass murderers in American history.
