Episode Description
We go back to 1987, a moment in time that captivated a community, and caused a firestorm of frenzy in Pennsylvania. We discuss the sudden sad ending and suicide of Robert Budd Dwyer, a truly tragic story. The story is surrounded by scrutiny, speculation, mistrust, and the high flying criminal charges to follow...and it is capped off with one evening in front of an already tense crowd of news anchors, onlookers, and journalists...to become the witness of a tragic death!
It would reach an infamous level when in 1995 a band called Filter would release a song titled, "Hey Man Nice Shot!" Tells the spiraling story of Robert Budd Dwyer!
Warning, this story does not have a happy ending, it is a sad story, and many people watched a man take his own life...truly a horrible sight for his family, and everyone present...it would resonate for decades.
