The Final 48 Hours of RFK (June 3-4, 1968)
This excerpt from Ep. 10 of the true crime podcast series "Who Killed Bobby Kennedy" traces the steps of Sen. Robert F. #Kennedy on the campaign trail in California in the final 48 hours of his life: June 3-4, 1968.
It also follows the path of Kennedy’s killer, Sirhan Sirhan, as he stalked RFK around Southern California, waiting for that moment when their paths would cross in Los Angeles.
The guest is Craig Colgan, a journalist who has been writing about the RFK assassination for more than a quarter century.
Also discussed here is the make-or-break California presidential Democratic Party primary that year, the whirlwind of events happening across America in 1968, and whether or not Bobby Kennedy would have won the party nomination had he lived.
