Summary

In 1998, the sudden and unexpected death of 57-year-old American Inventor Stanley Meyer sparked the birth of a new conspiracy theory. With his dying breath, Meyer would create speculation as to his cause of death regardless of what the autopsy would say, by claiming he believed someone was attempting to murder him. In his lifetime his greatest "achievement" would be a car that he claimed ran on water alone. As with Stanley's death, there are a lot of questions surrounding this breakthrough "invention" of his that persist even to this day. Tune in and listen to Jim tell us about the story of the mysterious life and death of Stanley Meyer this week.
