The Max Headroom Interruption (1987)



As the day wound down on Sunday, November 22nd, 1987, the greater Chicago area was in a fabulous mood.



At exactly 9:14pm, something very strange and kind of surreal interrupted WGN sports anchor Dan Roan as he described the Bears’ victory over the Lions.



In this episode, we dive head first into the crazy-ass case of the Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion that shocked Chicago, Illinois in 1987.



Was this the work of a tech-savvy savant prankster or was there a more sinister motive behind it?



And how in the world did they manage to hijack the greater Chicago area airwaves not once, but twice, in a single evening?



Listen to this episode to see if you have your own theories as to how this "crime of the airwaves" was pulled off...and why.

In the winter of 1922 outside of Munich, Germany, six people were brutally murdered - including two children.

There's a reason why this unsolved crime has captured the fascination of all who hear this story...worldwide...for over 102 years.



Did the widow's husband really die in the war eight years earlier?

Was Halyna Hutchins Murdered? If an upset crew member put a live bullet in the prop pistol that Alec Baldwin used when she was shot, that's exactly what happened.

Thanks for dropping by and listening to Solve Crimes’ series, “Caught After Death”. With recent advancements in Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy searches, law enforcement detectives working on cold cases are excited to close some of their most frustrating unsolved murders.

Michael Sumpter terrorized the city of Boston in the late sixties through the mid seventies. Sumpter had a lengthy record with many sexual assault charges, but no murders. While serving 15 years for a 1975 assault of a Boston woman, he was released to hospice care and died of cancer in 2001.

In 2018, with the help of Reverse DNA and Forensic Genealogy, the brutal truth was revealed what Michael Sumpter really was - a cold blooded killer. Thankfully, three families finally have closure on who killed their loved ones fifty years ago.

The problem is that these families will never see Sumpter pay for his crimes. He’ll never hear a heart wrenching or angry victim’s impact statement from them. He will never be formally charged, tried, convicted, sentenced and serve prison time for taking their loved ones away from them.

We knew that the weekend would bring out more information and we were right. In this episode, we continue to talk about what happened last Thursday on the set of the Alec Baldwin film "Rust".

We learn about an assistant director with a history of errors in judgement. We finally find out exactly what was going on when the tragic situation happened. We read a statement from Halyna's husband Matt only a day after her death. Stick around...there's much more to this case.

Could a disgruntled crew member have placed live ammunition in Alec Baldwin's prop gun? Possibly to prove a point about the lack of safety during filming of "Rust" at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico? In other words, was Halyna murdered?

Or was it simply a tragic accident that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza?
