About this episode

This episode explores the Minamata cover-up and theories surrounding Timothy McVeigh's fate after the Oklahoma City bombing.

In the 1950’s, in Minamata, Japan, ALL of the cats died, Birds fell out of the sky, and the people began to slowly lose control of their bodies. A mysterious outbreak in a quiet fishing town would eventually unravel into one of the most disturbing cover-ups in History. Also, Timothy McVeigh was officially executed by lethal injection in 2001, but what if that story wasn’t true? We explore the theory that the Oklahoma City bomber never died at all, and instead disappeared into the shadows under federal protection. Join us on this Theories Thursday Episode.
