Conspiracy Theory

Summary Scientist Dr. Frank Olson worked for the CIA, conducting secret, often inhumane warfare experiments, leaving him with mixed emotions. In 1953, a bloodied Olson is found lying outside a NY hotel, dying from what is assumed to be a 10-story window jump. Though his death is initially ruled a suicide, a 1975 release of top-secret CIA documents about an "unnamed" Olson contains new information. Son Eric has many questions. Why was his father not allowed to resign when he gave notice? Was he assassinated? Drugged? After 40 years, an exhumation and second autopsy may help shed further light on what really happened in this David Olson v. Government Goliath saga - or - may generate even more mystery.
