Imagine being a prison guard at a maximum security prison. You're doing your early morning bed checks, the same bed checks that you've done every day for years and years. Wait. This morning is different, because as you come across one prison cell, the prisoners aren't in there. Instead, it's two dummies hidden under the blanket and in the back of the prison cell, there's a hole in the wall.

I know. This sounds like something out of a movie or the TV show Prison Break. But it's not fiction, this is the story of the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility escape.

This is the story of how two dangerous men escaped a maximum security prison.

How all of this happened really comes down to two questions.

What would you do for love?

What would you do for a piece of art to hang on your wall?

In the early 1990's, Brett Cantor was up and coming in the Los Angeles music and night club industry. In 1993 Brett was killed and just a couple of years later O.J. Simpson was on trial for the murder of Nichole Brown-Simpson and Ron Goldman.

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be a connection between Brett, Nichole, Ron, and O.J. But investigators and lawyers were able to build a connection and possible theories. Theories that were strong enough that O.J.'s lawyers were prepared to use them in court.

You can listen to this episode now to learn more about Brett's case and possible connection to the O.J. case.
