    In this episode of The Murder Project, we dive into the shocking case of Matthew Livelsberger, the man who made headlines for detonating a Tesla Cybertruck in front of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. We explore Matthew's background, including his military service, and discuss the puzzling inconsistencies surrounding the events leading up to the explosion.

    Was this act a calculated statement, or did it spiral out of control? We also examine the discrepancies in media coverage and official reports that followed the incident. Join us as we piece together the story behind this bizarre and controversial case. Also, a big salute to The Murder Projects very own, Mike Smith, for his service to this country in the United States Army!!

    Bonus episode with Mike y'all. This week we are starting with the debrief and will continue next week with a part 2 debrief as well. We will be covering Angel Maturino Resendiz also known as "The Railroad Killer". There is a lot of info to cover on this one so we thought we would just team up for both episodes. Resendiz put fear into all communities that he visited. The people of these communities had good reason to be afraid. Everywhere Resendiz would travel, and victim would fall. His crimes were brutal and some unthinkable. Check it out and be looking for next week's episode.
