Truly Unreal

The Worst (or Best?) Kidnapping Plan of All Time


Listen Later

It's 1963. You're 23, broke, addicted to painkillers, and your stock trading career just imploded. But then God speaks to you through your car radio and tells you to kidnap someone.

This week, comedian and actress Lauren Holt (SNLBarbieCurb Your EnthusiasmThe Comeback) steps into the shoes of Barry Keenan, the man behind one of the most bizarre, delusional, and weirdly polite kidnapping plots in American history.
