Summary

Antarctica - a place of scientific research and study, and rarely a place for criminal activity. Though at the turn of the century, an Australian astrophysicist came down with a sudden illness before dying a day later. Due to winter setting in, a proper autopsy wouldn’t be possible for another 6 months. Today, we discuss the only cold case and potentially the first recorded murder in Antarctica, the Death of Rodney Marks.
