Summary

In 2004, the town of Granby, Colorado, was shaken when Marvin Heemeyer unleashed a modified bulldozer in one of the most infamous rampages in U.S. history. A proud Air Force veteran and welder, Heemeyer spent over a year secretly building the machine after a bitter zoning dispute turned personal. This podcast explores the man, the feud that drove him, and how his story became a lasting internet legend.
