Summary

Jack Saltarelli is a bounty hunter who also happens to be a former fugitive.  In part one of the Bounty Hunter, a judge sentenced Jack to 20 years in prison for a drug offense. After failing to appeal the judge’s decision, Jack decided he wasn’t going back to prison. Instead, Jack Saltarelli moved to Pennsylvania and started cooking meth in a mountainside cabin. When he wasn't cooking meth, Jack was hiding in plain sight on national television. He was volunteering as a search and rescue crew members looking for victims of the Atlanta Monster, serial killer Wayne Williams. This is a wild story, so I don't want to spoil it for you. Hear how the FBI finally caught up to him. Special thanks to former agent Jerri Williams with the FBI Retired Case File Review podcast for introducing me to Jack. I would also like to thank former FBI agent Judy Tyler and Jack Saltarelli for sharing their stories. Jack Saltarelli with agent Judy Tyler and the FBI[/caption] ------- Story idea?
