00:00In 1975, the CIA brought a murder weapon into the United States Senate, and they did it on
00:05live television. During hearings into CIA abuses, an aide walked into the chamber carrying what
00:11looked like a standard pistol. It wasn't. It was a dart gun, designed to fire a frozen projectile
00:17made from shellfish toxin. The dart was so thin it passed through clothing without the person
00:22feeling a thing. Inside the body, it dissolved completely within minutes. No entry wound,
00:28no trace of the toxin, just a heart that stopped beating. At autopsy, it looked exactly like natural
00:35causes. The CIA director confirmed the weapon was real, confirmed it worked exactly as described.
00:42And then came the question that no investigator could fully answer. This weapon was built for
00:47one purpose, to be invisible after the fact. Not just to kill, but to leave no proof a killing ever
00:53happened. Which means every death it was ever used on is still sitting in the records as natural.
00:59No one knows how many there are.
