Karen's friends and family told us she wasn't necessarily anti-nuke, or at least she didn't start out that way. I think of her more as an underdog fighting for other underdogs. That's the way I'll always remember her.

A couple of months ago, Bobby and I set out on an epic road trip from Oklahoma City to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Eight hours through a lot of flat, dry land. For most of the way, there wasn't much to see except giant windmill farms, a few antelope and some rest stops. OK, well, we got about three hours more to Albuquerque. What do you think we're going to find there?

We decided to drive all this way.

Yeah, I was tempted to say, meet you there. But eight hours in a car? That's nothing when you think about the thousands of hours we put into investigating Karen Silkwood's story.

Here we met another Karen in this story. Karen Pipkin Guerrero greeted us at the front door.

She has long flowing dark hair and was wearing brown knee-high leather boots. She's retired and lives in this split-level home with her husband and two rescue dogs. It's a beautiful spot surrounded by mountains with lush greenery all around.

Karen led us through a door and into her garage. Oh my, that's it right there? Yeah.

Okay. And just like that, we were holding the bumper from Karen Silkwood's 1973 Honda, the car she was driving the night she died on that Oklahoma highway 50 years ago. I had this vision that it was going to be in some hermetically sealed glass case. You know, here was this key artifact of the Silkwood story.
