Fell from Room 1018A: The CIA, LSD and a Man Who Vanished

Fear cuts sharp: a government scientist ran across a dark hotel room in his underwear, dove through a closed window thirteen floors up, and for 22 years the United States government called it a suicide - but nine days earlier his colleagues had slipped LSD into his drink. How did a bacteriologist, a CIA program that "did not officially exist," and a physician who wasn't supposed to know his patient converge in Room 1018A?
In this episode, we tell the facts of Frank Olson’s life, work and death, from his doctorate in bacteriology to his role at Fort Detrick, his attendance at a CIA retreat where he was dosed with LSD, and the unexplained fall from the Hotel Statler that left him dead on November 28, 1953. What really happened in Room 1018A and why has the case refused to settle?
