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.

I Just Don’t Know 🤷♂️
The stories that are told here are fantastic to say the least but I just don’t know what’s fact or fiction. Is he really the real life Liam Neeson from Taken with his band of ex military / CIA operatives who served any war you can name, or is KC just a story teller, who’s read too many James Patterson novels and fancies himself a bit of a Jack Reacher?
There’s got to be some truth is these tales of selfless heroism……at the right price of course. 🤣
Only KC knows the truth……
I ain’t gettin on no plain Hannibal!!!
I’m on Ep3. This is a great listen. So A-Team, he even has a 6ft5 muscled Mohawk simpleton who’s partial to a glass of milk 🥛 ✈️ So many many many very forensically detailed recollections of dark capers somewhere between ‘Death Wish’ and ‘Taken’. Wrapping legs around men’s waists while gouging eyes out, stuffing socks in men’s mouths then having a stand off in the frozen north with frozen hair after a snow mobile chase is the order of the day. Highly recommended! Jimmy hill would have enjoyed this while rubbing his significantly ample chin!
Absolutely gripping!!
I’ve listened to this podcast twice now and I absolutely love it!! What a guy!!
Sam, please can you post any updates you have with KC or do a second series!! Would love to hear how you both have been doing!! Thank you for this podcast!! Really enjoyed it!! Xx
