Two men. Two brutal crimes. Both vanished into thin air.
In this episode, we dive into the chilling story of Bradford Bishop, a respected State Department official who, in 1976, murdered his wife, mother, and children before disappearing without a trace. Despite international investigations and countless alleged sightings, Bishop remains one of the FBI’s most enduring fugitives.
Then, we turn to the tale of Jason Derek Brown, a charismatic con man turned killer. In 2004, Brown gunned down an armored truck guard in Arizona, making off with thousands of dollars. He slipped through law enforcement’s grasp and landed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, where he stayed for years—his face becoming synonymous with the phrase “armed and dangerous.”
Both stories reveal the unsettling reality of fugitives who evade justice and the families and communities forever haunted by their crimes. How can killers like Bishop and Brown simply disappear? And what does their ability to vanish say about the limits of modern manhunts?
Join us as we trace their crimes, their escapes, and the unanswered questions that linger decades later.
