Cassaro Winery True Crime and Wine S3E3: The Tower Sniper

Join John Matthews, owner of Cassaro Winery and 40-year law enforcement veteran, as he delves into the mind of Charles Whitman, the UT Tower Sniper, to determine why he committed such a horrific act. Was it a mental health issue, a medical condition resulting from a brain tumor, or just cold-blooded and premeditated mass murder? Using modern research on serial killers and mass murderers, John examines what caused this former Marine to kill 15 people- including his mother and his wife- and wound 31 others in an incredibly planned and organized attack.
