Episode Description from the Publisher

IN THIS EPISODE So, what happened - or seemed to happen - the night of February 28, 1986, the night someone shot Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme to death on a Stockholm street corner as he walked beside his wife Lizbeth after a night at the cinema? There were a number of eyewitnesses - but not all of their stories align. Especially problematic: the story told by eyewitness Lizbeth, the victim's wife. She seems to have attended a different assassination. How one of the most important investigations in Sweden's history went off the rails as the list of suspects grew.SHOW NOTESIf you enjoy this podcast, please sample some of our others at Costard & Touchstone.
