Summary

Today on The Dog Walk, we are joined by Author Patrick Wohl. His newest book, Something Big, tells the story of the Brown’s Chicken massacre that took place in Palatine, IL. He starts off by giving us some background on the case (4:45) and what went into finally solving it (12:00). He takes us through some common misconceptions (16:53) and gives us some insight on the two killers (25:50). He also tells us about false confessions (24:50) and the motive behind the tragedy (27:58). We get into how technology has changed the way we solve cases (31:19) and the role of media coverage within this case (35:00). We close it out by learning some of Whol’s most fascinating findings (36:30).
