Bonus: Who Wrote the Hit Man Manual? (Criminal+)

Nov 28, 2025 · 29m

Years ago, we put out an episode called “The Manual.” It was about a triple murder investigation in 1993. When police searched the suspect's home, they found a book called Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors . The author of the book used a fake name, and their real identity was a mystery for decades – until a few months ago. Today: A special addition to the latest episode of Criminal , for Criminal Plus members only. Abbott Kahler's Vanity Fair article is called The Florida Divorcée’s Guide to Murder .
