The Barefoot Bandit
from Crime at Bedtime
In the late 2000s, a teenager from a small island in Washington State became one of the most unlikely fugitives in modern American history. He stole planes without formal training, outran police across several states, and left taunting clues behind — including bare footprints at crime scenes. Known to the world as The Barefoot Bandit, Colton Harris-Moore turned burglary into a national manhunt, and his escape into a story that captured global attention. In tonight’s episode, we trace Colton’s troubled childhood, his escalating crimes, his astonishing technical abilities, and the cross-country chase that finally brought him down. This is the true story behind the headlines — and the boy who became a legend long before he became a criminal.
