In 'American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders,' filmmakers attempt to unravel Danny Casolaro's conspiracy theory to learn whether his death was really a suicide.

About three weeks before he was found with 12 slashes between his wrists in a West Virginia hotel room bathtub, journalist Danny Casolaro told his brother that 'if an accident happens, it's not an accident,' according to a new documentary.

Inslaw would later win a case against the Department of Justice for stealing its software in 1998 over claims that the government intentionally stole its software and distributed it illegally – but the case was overturned on appeal. A theory, one component of Casolaro's so-called Octopus, is that the Justice Department sold the software abroad to illegally spy on agencies that purchased it.
