This is an I-Heart podcast.

Malcolm Gladwell here.

This season on Revisionous History, we're going back to the spring of 1988 to a town in northwest Alabama,

where a man committed a crime that would spiral out of control.

And he said, I've been in prison 24, 25 years.

From Revisionist History, this is The Alabama Murders.

Listen to Revisionous History, the Alabama murders on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

one of our listeners wrote in, his name is Steve Smith, and he had mentioned, in some form or another, something about the Thunderbird,

2005 when they went back to the retro design.
