There could be a "killer" in your attic! The "Killer" in the attic is a form of asbestos-laced attic insulation called Zonolite...and Zonolite has been installed in over 35 million homes since the 1950s. Our interviewee, Andrew Schneider, has written a 4 part story you can read here.

Part Three: On Thanksgiving week 11 years ago, a regional Environmental Protection Agency boss ordered three of his top agents to rush to a remote Montana town to disprove a newspaper's report (Andrew Schneider's original 1999 reporting on Zonolite for the SEATTLE POST INQUIRER) of hundreds of people dying because of exposure to asbestos from a nearby Zonolite mine.

Part Four: Invisible fibers were killing people long before a Roman scholar reported that the slaves who worked in the asbestos quarries died far younger than those who didn't touch the wondrous, fireproof mineral. Lies being told then are still common today 2,000 years later.
