Summary

John Gilbert Graham was responsible for the deaths of 44 people in 1955. Graham created a bomb and hid it in his mother’s luggage before she boarded a flight from Denver, Colorado, to Portland, Oregon. He killed his mother and everyone on board in an attempt to collect an insurance policy worth more than $30,000.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss John Gilbert Graham, a man who told FBI agents that he didn't care if there had been thousands of people on the plane. He was going to do what he had planned to do. But the question is why? There's the obvious motive of money in the form of life insurance proceeds and his mother's estate. But John and his mother, Daisie, had a complicated relationship. He worked for her but had developed a deep-seated hatred for his mother from an early age.
