Bath School Massacre: The Making of America's First School Bomber - The Conclusion

Episode 79 In Part 2 of our Bath School Massacre series, we step back from the timeline to ask the harder questions: what drives an otherwise rational man to the brink of ruin—and what finally pushes him over the edge? We’ll uncover just how long, and how meticulously, Andrew Kehoe had been planning his attack, and the unsettling foresight that made the tragedy possible. From there, we confront the psychology behind Kehoe’s actions, the societal pressures that fed his resentment, and the dangerous mix of grievance and obsession that culminated in tragedy. We don’t shy away from the uncomfortable truths about acts of mass murder, because the only redemption in a story like this is in asking what we can learn—and how we can do better.
