Mincho Donchev was serving a sentence for murder in a Bulgarian prison when he escaped.

He found his way to the United States where he met his now ex-girlfriend.

When they had a dispute, he tried to blow up her home.

This would precede over twelve years spent hiding in the woods in Washington, robbing vacation homes and cabins to survive.

No one could predict how his arrest would go down.
