Part 2: \u201cThe Names of the Dead\u201d\n\nThe Order was a gang of white supremacists turned domestic terrorists. Based out of Washington, headed by extremist Robert Mathews and fueled by hate, The Order carried off a series of bank and armored transport robberies in an effort to fund a race war and the eventual overthrow of the government. In the midst of their crimes, they carried out an assassination- that of controversial Denver talk radio host Alan Berg, who was executed in his driveway. On the run after a shootout with the FBI at a Portland, Oregon motel, Mathews and his followers had regrouped at the secluded homes they'd rented at Smuggler's Cove on Whidbey Island, in Puget Sound. On the morning of Friday, December 7, the gang's three safe houses were quietly surrounded by the FBI. Lights and movement could be seen inside as agents prepared to engage with their targets. When they moved in, Mathews opened fire, and a standoff ensued.\n\nFor photos and sources for today\u2019s episode, check out the Murder in the Rain Episode Blog. \n\nEpisode Host: Josh McCullough\n\nIf you\u2019d like more episodes of Murder in the Rain, Patreon members at the $5/mo+ level, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.\n\nFollow us on:\n\nInstagram https://www.instagram.com/murderintherain/ \nFacebook https://www.facebook.com/mintherain/ \nTwitter https://twitter.com/murderintherain \nTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@em_murderintherain \nWebsite https://www.murderintherain.com/ \nEmail murderintherain@gmail.com\n\nOur Sponsors:\n* Check out Armoire and use my code RAIN for a great deal: http://www.armoire.style\n* Check out undefined and use my code RAIN for a great deal: undefined\n* Check out undefined: undefined \n\nSupport this podcast at \u2014 https://redcircle.com/murder-in-the-rain/exclusive-content\n\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
