New Jersey's Most Wanted: The Bank Robber Who Shot a Trooper

from True Crime · host Media Network

In December 1981, the cold-blooded murder of a New Jersey State Trooper on the shoulder of Interstate 80 sent shockwaves through the law enforcement community. The killer had vanished, leaving behind a seemingly perfect crime. But the investigation turned on a single, critical piece of evidence: a set of fingerprints lifted from the suspect's abandoned vehicle. That print pointed directly to a man already on the run, a dangerous fugitive wanted for a string of bank robberies. This is the story of the intense manhunt to track down the cop-killer, a pursuit that stretched across state lines as the FBI joined the chase to bring a calculated murderer to justice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime--6473403/support.
