In this edition of Radio Curious, we take a look at murder and getting away with murder. In the small island kingdom of Tonga, an American Peace Corps Volunteer murdered another American Peace Corps volunteer in October 1976. âAmerican Taboo, A Murder in Peace Corps,â by Philip Weiss, is a detailed story about the murder, how and why it happened, the legend that developed, the subsequent cover-up, and an interview with the murderer.
Philip Weiss recommends âMcArthur and Southerland, The Good Years,â & âMcArthur and Southerland, The Bitter Years,â both by Paul P. Rogers
