In this week’s episode, Shelby and Charlie dive into America’s first mass murderer, Andrew Kehoe. Raised on a farm in Michigan, Kehoe would grow up to be adept at working with machinery and electricity. Though he and his wife were well liked by the neighbors, there was something dark and off-putting about Kehoe. Nobody consciously realized it until after it was far too late. After losing reelection as treasurer of the Bath Township School Board, Kehoe would go on to commit appalling acts of violence. He murdered his wife and bombed a newly constructed school in Bath, Michigan killing 38 people and injuring another 58.
