0:30.0	Welcome to Crawl Space. I'm Tim here today with Lance. Lance, are you today?
0:39.0	I'm doing so well today, Tim. This episode, this conversation that is coming up features
0:45.0	a story that while on the surface feels like it's going to be this hard, boiled, true
0:50.2	crime story about a prison break, but turns into the story about two individuals who never
0:55.7	met each other, getting to know weirdly enough, getting to know each other and discovering

2:02.0	Well, I think this conversation is kind of timely Lance because we recently spoke with
2:06.5	Laura Ristie about William Bradford Bishop who killed his family and went on the run and during
2:14.2	that conversation, we also spoke about John List who did the same thing and you kind of hear
2:19.3	about how some of these fugitives sort of evade capture and this story is really much more
2:25.9	unique, I would say, because of what he did with his life. And what he did with his life sort
2:31.4	of proves to you that the crime that he committed had a lot more to it than just maybe a spoiled
