DOM Ep357 - The Mysterious Death of Karen Silkwood
In this episode, we dive into the story of Karen Silkwood — a lab technician at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma who stumbled into a nightmare. After raising alarms about contaminated equipment, falsified inspection records, and dangerous working conditions, Karen found herself the target of intimidation, mysterious exposures to plutonium, and escalating pressure. On November 13th, 1974, she set out to deliver documents to a reporter — evidence she believed would expose the truth. She never made it. Karen was found dead in her car, crashed off a rural highway, the documents missing, and the questions only beginning. Was it an accident… or something far more sinister?
