Ah, the 1970s. When the internet didn't exist and people were really pretty dumb. Like when America decided to initiate a "National Prison Reform Program" so convicted rapists and murderers could drive and go shopping in civilian attire unsupervised. This was designed to allow them to develop the skills they would need to re-enter society.

And, I know this is going to be hard to digest, but wouldn't you know some inmates took ADVANTAGE of this program?! Yeah, pretty unbelievable am I right? *insert eye roll here*

This story is about a man who escaped while shopping for Christmas gifts at a local shopping mall in 1972 and is still on the run to this day!

Make sure you listen ALLL the way to the end... because even when you think it's over. IT'S. SO. NOT. OVER.
