36: "Tread"

Shear Crime Podcast

Kenzie and Ame are back with another full length episode! This week, the girls cover the Netflix documentary Tread. Marvin Heemeyer was a master welder with his own muffler shop in a small town in the mountains of Colorado. After being pushed to his breaking point, Marv decided that not even his love for snowmobiling could keep him content in a town he felt was against his every move. In the quiet of the night, he spent months fortifying a sixty-three-ton bulldozer with steel and concrete, fueled by thoughts of revenge. Once loose and fixated on his anger, Marv took off on a 2 hour long rampage that flattened and destroyed several businesses and homes in the town of Granby. Police and military were completely ineffective in stopping the behemoth of a machine and after 8 million dollars of damages, the town feared Marv's temper may leave them with nothing but ruins of what once had been a quiet and peaceful place to live.
