About this episode

Don't drink the kool-aid? Or do you mean the Flavor-aid? Join us this week on What the Forensics to hear Nicole tell us about the life story of Jim Jones, and how he came to be the man that caused the Jonestown Massacre, one of America's largest non-natural disaster civilian fatality events. To learn about what was in the "kool-aid", Journey educates us on the topic of forensic toxicology, and how this forensic science played an instrumental role in the Jonestown Massacre.  Apologies for Rebecca's audio, she is home for the holidays and did not bring her mic! Audio will be better next episode. Listeners discretion advised: Descriptions of physical assault, suicide, and child death. Interested in learning more about when WTF releases new episodes, contests, and more?
