This month on Going to Killing City, we're diving into one of Kansas City's most haunting unsolved cases—the 1988 explosion that took the lives of six of Kansas City’s finest. It’s a story of mystery, tragedy, and lingering questions. Were the five locals convicted of the crime really responsible, or is the truth buried somewhere deeper? Plus…our Killer Cocktail of the Month is sponsored by Kansas City’s own West Bottoms Whiskey Co., blending smooth warmth with a dash of danger. …And don’t miss our listener mail segment, where we’ll share a special Thanksgiving cocktail suggestion—just in time to bring a little mystery to your holiday table.
