On this week’s gripping episode, Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler sit down with author Jerry Jamison to unravel the unbelievable story behind his meticulously researched true crime book, Vanishing Act.

Jamison takes listeners through the jaw-dropping saga of Robert Spears—a man who faked his own death by blowing up a plane in 1959, only to resurface weeks later under a new identity. Over nearly four decades, Spears amassed 23 aliases, 28 arrests, and a trail of deceit spanning insurance fraud, murder plots, and identity theft.

From high-society charm to calculated criminality, this is more than a con artist’s tale—it’s a labyrinth of lies, escape, and manipulation. Jamison, a decorated advertising copywriter turned novelist, shares how he unearthed one of the most riveting, little-known crime stories in American history.

This episode is part history lesson, part psychological thriller—and all true.
