When journalist Danny Casolaro was found dead in a hotel bathtub, police ruled it a suicide. But his family and colleagues believe he may have been murdered for investigating a conspiracy he called “The Octopus” - a hidden organization connected to stolen government spy software, a string of unsolved murders, and some of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century. Years later, researcher Christian Hansen pushes to uncover the secrets behind Casolaro’s death, and the story that killed him. From Stardust Frames, Duplass Brothers Productions, and director Zachary Treitz - this four part docuseries untangles a mystery decades in the making.

Yes, this is a famous case for people who are True Crime fans. I first saw it in the 1990's on Unsolved Mysteries (GOAT TV show of all time).
Here is the link to the UM episode: Youtube
Another UM episode was done as a follow-up. There was a guy who was investigating the Casolaro case and he asked UM to tell his story. He said that he woke up one night to Cops across the street investigating a murder. A guy took a bullet behind his left ear as he sat in his car (no robbery, nothing missing, just a small caliber bullet to the ear). The guy was driving a car very similar to the car this reporter drove and the reporter believes the hitman was trying to kill him and instead killed an innocent man across the street.

The best part was the footage of the old guy giving a deposition. Dude looked like he was ready the slit everybody’s throat and destroy the tape.
Spoiler: At the end when talked about how his story ended and they was laughing was best part of the entire thing

Watching now, Wackenhut used to be the security company that patrolled our corporation headquarters where I used to work in Illinois. We used to make fun of them being like mall cops, guess I should have been more wary of them, didn’t know they were all connected to the CIA.

We just finished episode 2.
The justice department contracting inslaw then not paying them, then stealing their technology was so dirty. Then the judge that ruled against the DOJ in the inslaw case getting replaced by the attorney that was defending the DOJ in the inslaw case is WILD.
Never knew about any of this.

Well if they can kill a sitting President in plain sight, they can certainly kill someone in their hotel room.

Finished the series the other day. It started off strong, but kind of fell flat at the end.
I just seems like Casolaro got wrapped up in this conspiracy, and was lead astray by a series of crazy people, con men, and a disgruntled software executive. He eventually realized he was used, and spent a portion of his life chasing phantoms, and he ended it all. It didn't really feel like some vast conspiracy was out to get him.

Almost done with E1 - much better than I thought it would be…. Amazing to me that Netflix would support this and the Graham Hancock series… good stuff
