Near Oregon’s southern coast, something unthinkable happened among family members—a crime so personal and so violent that it was hard for anyone to fully grasp. A mother and her partner were found dead, killed in an act of violence that did not point to a stranger, but to someone within the family. As investigators worked to understand what happened, one name kept coming up… and then he suddenly disappeared.

Join us for Fugitive with a Family in Tow. Gabriel Morris did not stay to answer questions. Instead, he went on the run, taking his wife and young child with him—leaving behind a trail of blood and a mystery that only deepened.

As sightings of Gabriel Morris surfaced and faded across the country, the search for him became a tense, fast-moving chase. In this episode, we explore the violence, the escape, and the moment everything finally caught up with him. Because fugitives run to escape—but they don’t always leave everyone behind.
