An extortion note. A statewide manhunt. The most complicated bomb in history.
It's not the plot of a movie. It actually happened.
It's the subject of the first collaboration between Hearst Television's KCRA and Very Local.
And it's also a great example of what can happen when someone who likes their job decides to spread their wings within their current workplace.
Dave Manoucheri is the producer and director of "Bringing Down the House."
The documentary explores the bombing of Harvey's Casino in South Lake Tahoe in 1980.
No one died. No one got hurt.
But a 1,000-pound bomb did go off and blew up part of the casino.
It's the stuff Hollywood movies are made of, yet few people really know what happened.
Dave and KCRA 3 photojournalist Victor Nieto spent a year tracking down everyone from the lead FBI agent, to the bomber's son, to the grandson of casino owner Harvey Gross.
In this BONUS Dying to Ask:
- What drew Dave Manoucheri to the backstory of the Harvey's bombing
- Who on the KCRA 3 staff got tasked with building a bomb (non-working) for a re-creation
- The lengths Dave and photojournalist Victor Nieto went to for the show to have an authentic 80s vibe
- And the personal benefits Dave got out of tackling this year-long assignment
