In April Twenty Twenty-Three, an independent archival researcher downloaded a book from the CIA's own public database. It was partially redacted. Three chapters were missing. And the agency had kept a restricted copy of it for nearly Fifty years. The book was called The Adam and Eve Story. Its author was an electrical engineer named Chan Thomas who moved in military research circles during the Cold War and then vanished from public scientific discussion almost overnight. Tonight we follow the investigation that asks the question nobody in an official capacity has ever answered: the CIA didn't classify this because it was wrong. They classified it because parts of it matched data that was never supposed to leave the building.

The date: September 18, 2001. One week after the world changed forever, a new, invisible terror arrived in the mail.

Letters containing high-grade, weaponized anthrax began appearing in the offices of news anchors and senators. The panic was absolute. The source was unknown. For months, the United States was paralyzed by a phantom enemy.

But years later, the official narrative—pointing to a lone scientist—doesn't sit right with everyone.

January First, two thousand and twenty-four. Eight thirty-four in the evening. Hundreds of people sprint out of Bayside Marketplace in downtown Miami. Helicopters circle the bay. Roads lock down for blocks. The official story: a teenage disturbance and some fireworks. But the police response looked like a terror threat. The security footage was never released. The bodycam footage was never released. And multiple witnesses — independently, without coordinating — described the same thing moving through that atrium. This is the full investigation.
