About this episode
This episode covers the aftermath of the University of Texas Tower Massacre and the investigation that followed.
On August 1, 1966, what began as a normal summer day on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin turned into one of the most horrifying acts of violence in American history. In 96 minutes, Marine veteran Charles Whitman claimed 14 lives. Add to that count the lives he took before this massacre, and another life who died 3 decades later due to complications, the total count was 17 murder victims, plus dozens more injured. Join Margot as she walks you through the post massacre investigation that revealed a letter, 2 more bodies, and a small tumor in the perpetrator’s brain. This is Part 2 of the University of Texas Tower shooting. Watch The Tower Documentary on Amazon Prime! ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free? Join the True Crime Army Club!
