About this episode
In the years following the suicide cluster, Brandon Grossheim decided he’d had enough of the small college town of Kirksville, where he was increasingly notorious. He moved home to Alton, Illinois, where, because of all the bad press, he struggled to find work. In this episode, we chronicle his life since the suicides, speak with people who know him, and even visit his home to try to talk with him. We comb through all of the evidence to try to determine his culpability in these deaths, and speak with experts about how to notice suicide warning signs. We return to Truman State University to investigate the legacy of these deaths and of Brandon Grossheim, and prepare for the upcoming civil trial against him.
