Summary

On January 26th, 2005, Juan Manuel Alvarez parked his vehicle in the path of a Metrolink commuter train in Glendale, California, causing a crash that killed 11 people and injured 180. Alvarez argued that he planned to end his own life and didn’t intend to harm anyone else, but he was convicted of 11 counts of first-degree murder.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the crimes committed by Juan Alvarez. Juan had a terrible childhood that was filled with emotional and physical abuse. He tried to end his life multiple times at a young age. Later he turned to meth, possibly as a coping mechanism. But it was also said that he displayed signs of mental illness throughout his life.
