Ep. 39 Power of Love, Soap, and Hand Grenades

Hold onto your butts because this is a wild twisty turny TRUE tale of a man who broke out of prison not once but FIVE times and the daring women who helped.

One breakout included help from his wife, Nadine Vajour, who obtained her pilot’s license to help her husband escape from the roof of a jail. Listen for more details and the other escapes which include Babybel cheese, soap, and nectarines.
