Summary

In September 2024, the state of Kentucky was on edge as law enforcement hunted for I-75 shooter Joseph Couch. In the midst of that panic, a 911 call from Knott County reported a man with a knife who "looked like the shooter." That man wasn't a fugitive—he was 25-year-old Travis Pratt, a local man in the middle of a mental health crisis. In this episode of True Crime To Go, John and Jamie trace the harrowing final minutes of Travis Pratt’s life. We break down the factual timeline from the moment Pratt hid in a neighbor's bathroom to the 13 shots fired by responding officers.
