KC is the American Vigilante - A hugely complex, intelligent, contradictory man who could save your life but end it too. Who leads a group of violent men standing on the blurred line between right and wrong, between revenge and redemption. A man you want on your side when it all falls apart.
American Vigilante is true crime, but so much more. It’s saving abducted children, it’s stepping beyond the law. It’s rescue missions, assassination attempts and last-gasp protection. It’s all the stuff you hope never comes to you, until it does.
Former BBC Journalist Sam Walker presents this Crowd Network original. She’s been speaking to KC for months and has recorded everything he’s told her. You’ll need to listen to make your own mind up, but you might never be the same again.
It’s shocking, inspiring, frightening and thought-provoking. It’ll change how you see the world, and it might change how you move within it.
Everyone thinks they’re safe, until they aren’t. Everyone thinks they know how they’ll react, until the darkness comes.

Customer Reviews
Always left me in thought
Thank you, KC…for all that you are and all that you do. As a mother, and survivor, I know what it is to need a hero. Appreciate that you created such multilayered journalism, Sam. Well done!
Canada eh?
Any other Canadians listening to the episode on Canada rolling their eyes? If I may offer KC some edits to improve his story telling: we do not in fact use snow mobiles as regular vehicles instead of cars, they are recreational vehicles; snow shoes are not sneaky, they are cumbersome; you would be hard pressed to find moose stew on a menu; and ‘eh’ is not in fact a regular part of our vernacular. If you’re going to talk about going to another country, maybe visit first so you don’t employ every single stereotype in one story forgoing all accuracy. But it was an entertaining time passer.
Bravo!
Extrêmement intéressant! Je m’attendais à un podcast négatif sur les « vigilantes » mais je suis agréablement surprise des actes de bravoure et de justice de KC. Bravo à KC et son équipe. Le monde a besoin de gens comme vous.
