Episode 53: A Toxic Relationship

6/2/2019

 
In May of 2013 three letters contaminated with ricin were mailed to President Barack Obama, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Michael Glaze, the director of the nonprofit organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns. An actress named Shannon Guess Richardson stepped forward to accuse her husband of being involved, but the true story may not be so simple.
