This is a trailer for an investigative podcast called 'The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop,' produced by the Washington Post through its Canary podcast series. The episode introduces the central mystery: the fate of the remains of Maurice Bishop, the revolutionary leader of Grenada who was executed in a coup in October 1983. Seven people were killed alongside him, and the whereabouts of their remains have been unknown for 40 years. The people responsible have never spoken publicly about what happened to the bodies. Host Margaret, a Washington Post journalist, spent a year and a half conducting more than 100 interviews with people in Grenada and the United States, including soldiers, diplomats, intelligence officers, and at least one member of Congress. Her investigation includes new reporting about the role of the U.S. government in shaping Grenada's fate — a country the U.S. invaded in 1983 with helicopter gunships shortly after the coup. A key discovery involves a forensic pathologist who was present in Grenada in 1983, whom the host tracked down by phone. He describes the case bluntly as something that 'stinks.' The trailer announces that the first two episodes launch on October 23rd, with subsequent episodes available early to Washington Post subscribers via Apple Podcasts.
