We're back to our favorite era of Kansas City, the late 1920's into the early 1930's. Yes, it's a wide-open town, but also a very dangerous episode. This month, we discuss how an innocent victim was murdered during a labor war. His death was the capstone of months of labor strife, with intimidation, threats and even bombings. His murder shocked Kansas City -but turns out, he might still be working at a downtown theater to this day.

Get all the details of this and every episode on our website: www.killingcitypod.com, and be sure to join us at our live Spooktacular event at the Black Box Theater in October!

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, cancer patients, AIDS patients, and many others were desperately seeking treatment for their respective diseases here in Kansas City. The protocol for those illnesses all called for prescription medicine. Those patients had faith those medications would help heal them, but what if they were wrong?

Season 4 kicks off with the horrific tale of a pharmacist named Robert Courtney, who diluted these lifesaving medicines all to pocket the difference and enrich himself. It is a truly jaw-dropping episode about greed, breaking a sacred trust, and killing countless unsuspecting victims.
