On August 1, 2001 21-year-old Ryan Dougherty appeared in a Florida courtroom to plead no contest to felony charges for a crime he committed as a teenager. No longer the person he was back then, Ryan was looking forward to the future with his pregnant girlfriend who was due to give birth to their son in days. After court, Ryan met with his probation officer and was shocked to learn he had 48 hours to comply with the terms or he’d be sent to prison for 15 years. Distraught, Ryan confided in his 29-year-old sister Lee Grace and 26-year-old-brother Dylan. As the hours ticked by, the trio felt the only way to save Ryan from prison was to run.

Interesting podcast & a really entertaining story. I like the perspectives & style they’re using to tell the story. Honestly - hated the advertisements for Olivia Jade’s podcast though, cheapens this story. A spoiled rotten entitled brat whose parents bought her college entrance really kills the mood & seriousness of this story.

The podcast would be better as a three parter. This podcast series is unbelievably drawn out with empty details or non stop rehashing of what the other episodes stated. Oh, the ads are absolutely terrible, play loudly, and are so frequent I’m just done with IHeartRadio in general. The ads make it unlistenable

I listened to the first episode, and about 15 minutes of the second episode. The premise is super interesting, but I can’t deal with the wave after wave of self-pity and bitterness from people who have unfulfilled expectations, without, except for the odd bit here and there, acknowledging their own role in what transpired. Listen again and you will hear that everything is someone else’s fault.
