**Discussion begins at 5:50**On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln.  Over the next 12 days he traveled 73 miles through the forests and swamps heading toward Virginia.  On April 26, the government said Booth was dead after being shot in a burning barn by a Union soldier and buried without much fanfare. Case closed… right?  Not so fast.  This week, we’re diving into the conspiracy theories that claim America’s most infamous assassin didn’t die in 1865 at all.  From questionable body identifications and missing diary pages to secret government cover-ups and alleged sightings years later, Booth’s death has been debated for over a century.  Did Booth really perish at Garrett’s Farm, or did he pull off the original true-crime vanishing act?  We’re breaking down the facts, the rumors, and the wild theories.  Get ready foil-heads, because history may be lying to us again.Send us Fan MailSupport the showTheme song by INDA
