Summary
On March 16, 1978, former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro was kidnapped off a busy Rome street by the Red Brigades terrorist group, his five bodyguards killed in seconds. For 55 days, he wrote 86 letters begging for his life, while his own government called his death a spiritual victory. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy examines the assassination, the political forces that may have sealed Moro's fate, and the questions that no official investigation has ever fully answered.
