Four Dead in Ohio: The Kent State Shootings Investigation

Four Dead in Ohio: The Kent State Shootings InvestigationIn May 1970, National Guardsmen fired 67 rounds in thirteen seconds at Kent State University students protesting the Vietnam War's expansion into Cambodia, killing Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder, and wounding nine others. The FBI investigation, civil trials, and forensic analysis of audio evidence would span decades, with questions about whether guardsmen received an order to fire remaining central to the case.Four days. That's all it took for a college campus in Ohio to go from burying a copy of the Constitution as a symbolic protest to actual students bleeding out on the grass. And here's what makes this case so disturbing: for forty years, everyone involved said no order was given to shoot. Then in 2010, a forensic audio expert cleaned up a forgotten tape recording and found something that changed everything about what we thought we knew.#KentState #TrueCrime #KentStateMassacre #May4th1970 #VietnamWarProtest #NationalGuard #ColdCase🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
