Hello! For this week's episode, Kenna brings the story of Richard Matt and David Sweat's lives, crimes, and ESCAPE? These two men grew up in different places, but their childhoods were very similar. It's no surprise that they would both land in prison on murder charges, and they would eventually become cellmates. Welp, with the help of some unsuspecting people, the two men would lead law enforcement on a nearly month-long man hunt after escaping from prison. Join us as we talk about the men's lives, and the escape from Dannemora.
