Aftermath: Hunt for the Anthrax Killer

Crime does not wait for the headlines to catch up.

From Wolf Entertainment, the minds behind Law & Order, Headline Studio, and Joe Budden comes Crime in America, a new weekly video and audio series that follows the country’s most gripping crime stories while they are still unfolding.

Each week, Joe connects with the local journalists closest to the case, the reporters on the ground who know the details, the community, and what the rest of the country has not heard yet. Together, they cut through the noise, uncover new developments, and explore not only what happened, but why the story matters and where it may be headed next.

These are not closed cases or stories from the past. They are active investigations, unanswered questions, and crimes that could become the next story everyone is talking about.
This is true crime in real time.

New episodes of Crime in America with Joe Budden are available weekly on Patreon, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Old-school detective work and a scientific moonshot finally uncover the truth. But the case exposes failures in national biosecurity, cracks in the mental health system, and a tragic ending that changes America forever.

The White House uses the anthrax attacks to justify the invasion of Iraq, while the FBI shifts its focus to a new prime suspect. Under surveillance and interrogation, he reveals something no one sees coming.

Midnight mailbox raids, bloodhounds, and ice divers all lead the FBI to a former CIA contractor. But despite photo evidence, fingerprinting, and DNA testing, nothing adds up. Then, one clue changes everything.

In just three weeks, three people are dead, tens of thousands exposed, and the FBI has no solid leads. Then, intel points to a Pakistani scientist—only for the White House to push a completely different suspect.
