The 2013 Boston Marathon bombings case is closed and a suspect is on death row, but there is still a lingering thread between the terrorist attack and gruesome murders that took place not too far away a year and a half earlier.
The ABC News Studios docuseries "The Murders Before the Marathon," which began streaming on Hulu on Sept. 5, follows the investigation by Boston-based journalist Susan Zalkind, who has spent years trying to get to the bottom of the possible connection between the bombings and the triple homicide.
When she was home from college, Zalkind became friends with Weissman and followed the case in the news as the investigation continued.While there was no breakthrough in the case, things changed following the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon bombing. Three people were killed and hundreds were injured during the attack.
On April 19, Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following a shootout with police during which he was run over by his brother, who was attempting to flee in a stolen car. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested following the encounter. On May 22, 2013, an FBI agent, two Massachusetts State Police officers and other law enforcement agents interviewed Ibragim Todashev in an Orlando apartment complex.
