The Beltway Snipers: Trained to Kill — Ep. 3 | MK Confidential

MK Confidential starts on the corner of East 34th Street and East Roosevelt Avenue, on a drizzly evening in Tacoma, Washington. It’s Saturday, February 16th, 2002. Lee Boyd Malvo is two days shy of turning seventeen. He’s about to take a life for the first time, at the prompting of his surrogate father. He will struggle to scrub himself clean from the murder.

Megyn charts Malvo’s path from Jamaica to Antigua to the United States, and traces how a faraway father and abusive mother primed him to partner with John Allen Muhammad. As a child, Malvo was passed around from house to house, maintaining honor roll grades despite an unsteady home life. When Malvo’s mother leaves for America — using papers forged by Muhammad — Malvo is utterly alone. Muhammad comes to his aid, and the two bond as adopted father and son. Muhammad clears the way for Malvo to come to the States. When Muhammad loses custody of his own children, Malvo goes to him. He does exactly what the soldier says, including learning to kill with precision. This is episode three of the Beltway Snipers story.
