Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the D.C. sniper attacks of 2002.
The harrowing days are chronicled in the new documentary TV series “I, Sniper.”
“No one’s ever tried to do something this ambitious,” Creative Director John Smithson told WTOP. “There were three prongs to this: the families of the 10 known victims and those who survived … a huge number of law enforcement [for] the biggest manhunt in American history [and] getting phone calls with Lee Malvo from jail.”
Episode 1 is available online, while Episode 2 airs on VICE TV on Monday at 10 p.m.
“It starts with the first killing over in Washington State, then sets up the backstory of these two people, Lee Malvo and John Muhammad, what brought them together, their grievances, starting to train for these attacks,” Smithson said.
