About this episode

Robert Garrow went on a killing spree in New York in the 1970s after having spent 8 years in prison due to a rape conviction. The police manhunt that ensued was the biggest in New York history up to that point. The details of his capture and eventual escape are fascinating.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of Robert Garrow. His might be one of the most unbelievable childhoods that the show has ever covered. And you won't believe the details of his manipulation in prison that led to his escape.
