Holiday Break: How a Nuclear Lab Helped Catch a Serial Killer

Happy holidays, listeners! We're starting off our winter break by bringing you an episode from our colleagues at Science Vs about how a notorious murder case was solved with help from an unlikely source: a nuclear weapons lab. It’s the 1990s at a medical center in California, and patients are dying. At first, this doesn’t seem strange — it’s a hospital, and deaths happen. But then rumors start to circulate about a particular health care worker: difficult or needy patients in his care are ending up dead. The cops get involved, but there’s a huge problem: there’s no hard evidence. Until the so-called “Lab of Last Resort” steps in. Crime Junkie host Ashley Flowers joins us as we speak to analytical chemist Armando Alcaraz, former Detective Sergeant John McKillop, and Dr. Ian Musgrave.

Love the narration. No beating around the bush. Also, some content that I have never heard about each case. I was not pleased with the Menendez podcast. Felt the info was taken directly from Lyle’s testimony. Of course he is going to portray his parents as vile and despicable people. They had it coming …tight? Sorry, don’t believe for a minute Kitty supported molestation. She would rather die than have that goin on. Simply can’t believe a word these murderers are saying .
Best in class

This is the most factual and well researched podcast of its kind. The hosts have a passion for accuracy and give deference to the victims. The show is not limited to crimes only in the US either. Great narration and psychological insight too.
I love it
