In October 2002, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo terrorized the DC metro area for three weeks, killing 10 people and injuring 3 by carrying out a series of sniper attacks. But the story didn't start there. In Part 1 of our coverage, Emily introduces us to John and Lee and sheds some light on the motives at the core of this horrific campaign of terror. In true STAS style, digressions include cheating, Erin Brockovich, and how to use a credit card.
