Can you imagine being a high school sports star with a bright future, only to find yourself orchestrating a notorious crime years later? Get ready to be captivated by the rollercoaster life of Anthony Curcio, whose journey from promising athlete to devil-may-care criminal defies belief. You'll be gripping your seats as we tell the dramatic story of Anthony Curcio whose life took an unexpectedly wild turn after a devastating sportsing injury (apparently contact sports are dangerous) and subsequent battle with addiction (though not quite as potentially deadly as opiates). 

The stakes rise dramatically as we recount Anthony's meticulously planned caper, a plot so outrageous, and at times comical, it rivals Hollywood's best heist films. Dressed as a landscaper and using Craigslist decoys, Anthony executed an audacious robbery involving pepper spray and an aquatic getaway that feels bizarrely cinematic - without ever setting foot in a bank. What can we say? The man had a flair for the dramatic. Maybe that explains his downfall. Someone caught him, in flagrante delicto, before his big bank day and that singular tip from a surprising source played a critical role in his undoing. When the investigation led detectives to his wife, Emily, his double life of lavish spending and debauchery-fueled stints in Vegas was revealed and he had nowhere to run. 

Finally, we navigate the chaotic aftermath following the heist, and it got chaotic quick - just minutes after the heist. It’s a story filled with comical mishaps and nearly unbelievable getaways. From a stolen inner tube to DNA evidence from a spit cup, the story is both suspenseful and at times humorously bizarre, sometimes a little gross. We wrap up with a poignant reminder of the consequences of crime and addiction, and of course, a whimsical look at the quirky connection between Anthony and none other than his namesake, DB Cooper. This episode promises a thrilling blend of drama, humor, and maybe even a touch of nostalgia. Don't miss it!
