The standoff between the FBI and the Branch Davidians held firm for more than a month, with David Koresh and his followers refusing to surrender.

The podcast, presented by Casefile Presents, delves into a wide spectrum of incidents, from historical mysteries that have shaped forensic science to contemporary investigations that challenge legal systems.

It’s a show for those who appreciate detail-oriented storytelling within the true crime genre, where the priority is understanding the sequence and significance of events rather than speculative commentary.
