Description
When Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, a lone gunman was captured at the scene, revolver in hand. It seemed like an open and shut case. So why did the police keep evidence hidden away for decades? Over ten episodes, hosts Zac Stuart-Pontier (Crimetown) and Bill Klaber (author, Shadow Play) comb through previously secret police tapes and track down the people who were there to investigate troubling questions about one of the most significant crimes in American history.

Customer Reviews
They’ve done it again.
The editing, sound design, and music all keep you on the edge of your seat and right in the moment. Places you squarely in a world that seems eerily plausible.
The Highest Quality of Podcasting
The creators of Crimetown and Grimlet media have set a precedent, they’ve created a standard that others should want to reach, and they’ve given us another interesting story. While conspiracy theories aren’t for everyone, it’s still learning and seeing a new perspective. I can’t wait for more episodes. However, this review is mainly to praise the quality of story we are in store for. The quality is like an HBO documentary through your phone. They are major leagues when it comes to podcasts and I hope other creators follow suit.
Hooked!
The creators of Crimetown created a rich, crime-infested world in Rhode Island I knew little about. I'm pumped to see these guys cover one of the most contentious assassination cases in our history. First episode had me at MIND CONTROL!!!!!
