Hey, bingers, welcome back to binge. Now, I have some exciting news for you. Our biweekly podcast is now a weekly podcast. That's right, you spoke and we listened. Instead of multiple drops every other week, bingeed will now be dropping one episode once a week,

but in keeping with a common theme, which will change every two or three weeks.

So far, we've done series on internet killers, poisoners, solved cases that may actually

still be unsolved, and unidentified serial killers.

We will return to these themes from time to time while always introducing new ones.

But in this week's episode, we turn our attention to bombings and we wind the clock back to October 15th, 1985.

It was a Tuesday morning in downtown Salt Lake City.

Workers were trickling into their offices inside the historic judge building.

Among them was a 31-year-old financial consultant named Steve Christensen,

who rode the elevator as usual up to the sixth floor and walked towards his office with a box

of donuts and a carton of Diet Tab Cola. Outside the door of his suite, Steve observed a brown package on the floor addressed to him.

He picked it up, and as he tilted it onto its side to tuck it under his arm, the package exploded in a violent boom that shook the building.

Shrapnel flew in all directions, and if the blast itself had somewhat

failed to kill him, the arsenal of nails that lined the bomb inside became projectiles that

guaranteed its victim wouldn't survive. As Steve Christensen lay dying with a hole torn into his

chest with donut bits and cans of cola

mixed in with the debris all around him, his security, who was also injured, managed to make

her way to the phone and call for help. Now, a little over an hour later, at a residence in the

suburb of holiday, a woman named Kathy Sheets found a package sitting on a wooden block outside of her garage.

She noticed that the package was addressed to her husband, so she picked it up to take it inside.

And again, as she tucked the package under her arm, it suddenly exploded, sending nails tearing into her body,

disemboweling her and killing her almost instantly.
