0:00.0	This episode contains disturbing content, including mention of suicide. Please take care while listening.
0:12.9	By December of 2013, Lee Price had been missing for 18 months. His family had held a funeral for him,
0:20.8	believing that he had jumped to his death in the Gulf of Mexico on a ferry, traveling from
0:26.4	QS to Fort Myers, Florida. But the US Attorney's Office and the FBI, they weren't as convinced
0:33.7	that Lee was actually dead. And when they couldn't find a body, the search was on.
0:40.5	The FBI especially felt that Lee was the type of person who thought he could get away with things.
0:46.7	After all, he'd believed himself to be a financial genius, starting a hedge fund that he
0:51.5	wasn't experienced enough to manage. He'd operated a Ponzi scheme, and he'd even bought a bank.
0:58.2	The FBI thought there was at least a chance that Lee had faked his own death and was on the run.
1:04.6	And yet, no one had any idea where Lee Price was. Except for Veronica, who had no idea his name
1:12.8	was Lee and not Jason, or that he was a wanted fugitive. What she did know was that Lee was growing

1:28.4	he wasn't as savvy as you might expect. You know, 95 runs from what made to the bottom of Florida.
1:36.7	And then I-10 is from Jacksonville all the way over to the West Coast. If you're going to be running
1:42.1	drugs, don't use those highways. Definitely not. Lee's time on the run, as a fugitive, was about to come
1:49.6	to a swift end. But not in the way he thought it would. Actually, not in the way anyone thought it
1:56.7	would. I remember it was like December 31st of 2013. I get a call from the FBI agent who I've
2:06.5	been communicating with for a year, nearly a year and a half, about the status of their search for him.
2:12.3	And he called me like late afternoon or I remember it was New Year's Eve. And he's like,
2:18.8	you're not going to believe this. But we found our really price.
2:24.4	Lee had successfully evaded the FBI. But soon he would come face to face with someone else.
2:30.8	Someone who had no idea who he was, at least at first.
