David Thibodeau (born in 1967) is an American Musician, Author, Survivor, and Famous Personality from Orono, Maine. He garnered immense popularity after releasing his own memoir, A Place Called Waco: A Survivor’s Story.

The book came out on September 09, 1999. It is based on the real-life story of Thibodeau when he survived the events of Waco, Texas’ 1993 siege. The incident took place when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) launched a raid at the Waco siege in February 1993.

After failing, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intervened and ordered a tear gas attack. It resulted in the death of 76 Branch Davidians including 2 pregnant women and 25 children.

Moreover, David Koresh who led the religious sect Branch Davidians also got killed in the incident. Back in 2018, a book named “Waco: A Survivor’s Story Aviva Layton” by David Thibodeau, Leon Whiteson, and Aviva Layton was released.

The Waco series is number 4 on Netflix today. Thanks to all that had a hand is spreading the truth. I’m so grateful. ESP the Dowdle Brothers.
