Wanted

Once one of America's most wanted men, Wild Bill, as he's been called by authorities, was arrested as he attempted to make his way into Nicaragua via Costa Rica on July 26, 2010.

Bill was accused of the murders of 5 people, murders that he would later confess to. Bill says he worked in Panama as a gun for hire, a hitman, for a cartel of sorts. He says he was driven by greed and a severe lack of any morals.

Bill says he's not the man he once was, he does not speak of the murders that he has committed or even so much as mention their names, he says he is haunted by his crimes and he focuses on doing good in the world in which he now finds himself.

Once arrested and convicted he was sentenced to over 40 years inside a Panamanian prison where he remains today. While incarcerated Bill has become the prisons Chaplin and holds regular services for the other incarcerated men. He's also written a book about his experiences inside one of the worlds worst and most violent prisons, the link to which is below. Not only has he written a book but he also does a daily audio diary which he posts on youtube and has a Facebook page 'Friends of Brother Bill' that he uses to stay in touch with people on the outside.

But how did Bill become a killer, what happened in his life that would send him down this path? Bill tells me his story from his prison cell in Panama.

Welcome back to Wanted!

In todays episode I sit down with a man our regular listeners of One Minute Remaining will be all too familiar with. Michael Leonard is a defence attorney from Chicago Illinois. He's an attorney with decades of trial experience and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the US legal system.

He often guides us through the mine field that is the cases we discuss on OMR so of course when it came to the bizarre case of the Tiktok fugitive I just had to get him on to offer his professional opinion on this case.

Welcome to wanted!

In this show I speak with men and women from around the world who have been or who currently are wanted by authorities and it all started with this man Chad Hower.

This is part three of the TikTok fugitive.

I was alerted to Chad's story when I was tagged in his TikTok, the TikTok fugitive. I was intrigued by his story and just had to know more, so after getting InTouch we arranged to sit down for an interview.

Chad is a former high level Microsoft employee and a WANTED man, wanted by the FBI for apparent international kidnapping. He's accused of kidnapping his son and taking him overseas, this was a custody battle like no other. Chad and his former wife separated in early 2000's and so began a lengthy and strained legal battle that would go on for years, until eventually things would take an incredible turn. So out of control would it become that in 2009 Chad would be arrested in Bulgaria by agents acting on an Interpol red noticed sparked by the FBI and placed in a Bulgarian prison where he would have to fight against a US extradition order.

Millions of dollars and countless government resources would be put into trying to get Chad back in to the Us, three failed extraditions and an apparent kidnap attempt but why?

Chad's son, now 27, has always said he was never kidnapped, in fact he's been on many TV shows, as an adult to explain as much, yet Chad is STILL wanted.

In this show Jack Laurence (Host and creator of the award winning crime podcast One Minute Remaining) sits down with men and women from around the world have been or who currently are 'Wanted' by authorities.

It all started many months ago when Jack was tagged in a video online, a video of a man claiming to be wanted by the FBI. After a bit of back and forth and some concern as to just what he was getting himself into Jack sat down with this fugitive and the rest as they say is history.

From claims of international kidnapping, drug cartels, prison escapes, North Korean sanction dodging and even leaked government secrets the world of the wanted is nothing short of wild.
