Mercenary Craig Lang Killed for Venezuela: True Crime Case

from True Crime Cases You Haven't Heard · host Steve Rhode | Host of the True Crime Podcast

Craig Lang murdered a Florida couple to fund a mercenary trip to Venezuela — then fled to Ukraine, where he was celebrated as a war hero before being extradited and convicted in one of the rarest Neutrality Act prosecutions in US history.                         Built from federal court documents, trial testimony, and international extradition records, this episode traces a dishonorably discharged Army veteran from a church parking lot ambush in Estero to the front lines in Irpin — and back into a Fort Myers courtroom six years later.     Lang is now serving two consecutive life sentences.
