    Uploaded by

    Henry Morrison
    Three car bombings occurred in St. Louis in 1977 that remained unsolved. On October 7, 1977 a man's car exploded outside his apartment but he was not injured. On October 18, 1977 a UPS supervisor was killed when his car exploded in the parking lot of his apartment complex. On November 3, 1977 a computer programmer was killed when her car exploded near her apartment. Investigators found similarities between these bombings and other car bombings involving union figures that occurred in the 1970s, though none were ever solved.
