Episode 128: The Tetris Murders ft Astonishing Legends Podcast

Vladimir Pokhilko was the president of AnimaTek, a software company based out of San Francisco, CA. The conclusion of his legacy for the last 2 decades has been as follows: not seeing a way out of his financial troubles, in 1998, Pokhilko brutally murdered his 39 year old wife, Yelena Fedotova, and their 12 year old son, Peter, before he completed suicide. But recently, a 2022 documentary has attempted to re-write this narrative, coming forward with multiple experts and witnesses, alleging Vladimir Pokhilko was not a murderer at all: he was targeted by a Russian mob. He and his family were actually murdered. But could this be true? Or is it just a baseless conspiracy theory?This is the story of the Tetris Murders.Astonishing Legends: https://astonishinglegends.com------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $2/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastMerch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe to the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcastWebsite: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?
