Taking Alex

Alex Johnson had it all. He was brilliant, an avid outdoorsman, a talented chef, artist and botanist with friends all over the world. In 2013, days shy of his 33rd birthday, Johnson vanished after wrapping up a phone call with his girlfriend.

For more than a month, the Johnson family did everything they could think of. They held vigils, organized searches, brought in specialized K-9’s and put up billboards.

But Alex was dead. Beaten in the back of a Mercedes Benz, his body put in a barrel and rolled into a frigid Kentucky river. And one of his best friends named the prime suspect.

Come along as I take you through this twisted murder tale that stretches from Lexington, KY to the bottom of a cold river and finally to the border with Mexico.

And it’s not over yet. Not after the man convicted in Alex’s murder found out he was just a sheet of paper away from freedom. What will he do next?

The Atlas Society Presents – Objectively Speaking

We promote open Objectivism: the philosophy of reason, achievement, individualism, and freedom.
Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism was set forth in such works as her epic novel Atlas Shrugged, and in her brilliant non-fiction essays. Objectivism is designed as a guide to life, and celebrates the remarkable potential and power of the individual. Objectivism also challenges the doctrines of irrationalism, self-sacrifice, brute force, and collectivism that have brought centuries of chaos and misery into the lives of millions of individuals. It provides fascinating insights into the world of politics, art, education, foreign policy, science, and more, rewarding you with a rich understanding of how ideas shape your world. Those who discover Objectivism often describe the experience as life-changing and liberating.

Ayn Rand’s philosophical works have been praised as presenting historic breakthroughs in thinking. At the Atlas Society, our scholars work to further develop this philosophy born in the mid-twentieth century. We present the empowering principles of Objectivism to a global audience, and offer those principles as a rational and moral alternative in the marketplace of philosophical ideas.
