Summary

When the DC Snipers terrorized the Washington, DC area in 2002, few realized that the killers were motivated by a movie. John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo watched The Matrix before their shootings. The film inspired their mission to create chaos and change a world that they believed had been overtaken by an oppressive system. To Muhammed and Malvo, everyone was part of that system and had to be eliminated. New Copycat Killers podcasts drop each Thursday. Next week, Forensic Psychologist Dr. J. Buzz Von Ornsteiner and the experts dissect the real-life murder inspired by Scream. Like what you hear and want more true crime and mystery? Go to https://www.reelz.com/
