Happy New Year everybody. 50 years on, the Karen Silkwood story still remains a mystery. Most of us remember the name from the 1983 Mike Nichols film. With only a handful pictures of the real woman, many might think of Meryl Streep when they hear the name. But to a few, Karen Silkwood was family. Her children still investigate what happened to their mother half a decade ago. In December, ABC News followed a renewed investigation into the 1974 death of Silkwood, a chemical technician who was outspoken about health and safety at a nuclear fuel plant owned by her employer. She died in a single-car crash while on her way to meet The New York Times reporter. The mysterious circumstances surrounding Silkwood’s death captured national headlines and the 1983 Oscar-nominated film. Now, via new reporting, many exclusive on-camera interviews and the discovery of lost tapes and new information documented in ABC Audio’s podcast “Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery,” “IMPACT x Nightline” investigates if Silkwood’s death was an accident or something more sinister. You can watch a preview for the television special here, the full programme is available on Hulu. There’s also an hour-long programme on the case by ABC’s KOCO 5 News available on Youtube.
