Chronicle 35: "Bombers on the Run - Murder at MIT"

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). So, I’m sure you’re familiar with the tragedy associated with one of America’s oldest and most famous road races, the Boston Marathon. On April 15, 2013, two brothers detonated a pair of homemade bombs in the crowd of spectators watching the race, ultimately killing three people and severely injuring at least 260 others. It took law enforcement an impressive 102 hours to identify, pursue, and arrest the suspects, from the moment the bombs went off to the capture. But sometime around hour 80 of that pursuit, the bombing suspects walked onto the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, commonly known as MIT, and blatantly took another life – the life of 27-year-old MIT police officer Sean Collier.
