What is the conspiracy theory surrounding Mary Pinchot Meyer's murder?
This is Crime House. Everyone loves a conspiracy theory. The idea of powerful forces lurking in the shadows, committing sinister crimes. You can't deny it's intriguing. But what if all those hypotheticals are nothing more than a story? After 43-year-old Mary Pinchot Meyer was murdered in Washington, DC in October 1964, a lot of people started telling stories.
The suspect, his lawyer, the witnesses, the prosecution, they all had a different version of events. But none held a candle to another theory about who killed Mary, one that tied her murder to the U.S. government. With so many different perspectives and allegations, it becomes hard to separate fact from fiction, and there's a temptation to try to piece them all together.
But maybe figuring out the truth isn't the hardest part. Maybe it's learning to live without it.
