In 1991 Col. James Sabow was found dead at his home on El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in California. The death was ruled a suicide by local authorities and NCIS, but subsequent inquiries cast doubt upon the verdict, and dark allegations of covert flights and arms smuggling at the air base were raised. Was Col Sabow’s death really a suicide—or was it murder?

The Death of Col. Sabow

From the minds of Joe Swaney from the Thinking Sideways podcast and filmmaker Vincent Caldoni: Mysteries, history, true crime, tales of the unexplained, conspiracies and mirth! If you are of a certain age you may remember how newspapers worked: the headline told you the news and the front pages gave you the basics of the story but if you wanted the details-the real story the messy stuff, the backstory, you had to flip to the back of the section, past the fluff pieces, past the ads, and whatever else to get to it and if you were like us that was the good stuff-the details that shock.
