Wild Bill - The Cartel Hitman - P2

Once one of America's most wanted men, Wild Bill, as he's been called by authorities, was arrested as he attempted to make his way into Nicaragua via Costa Rica on July 26, 2010. Bill was accused of the murders of 5 people, murders that he would later confess to. Bill says he worked in Panama as a gun for hire, a hitman, for a cartel of sorts. He says he was driven by greed and a severe lack of any morals. Bill says he's not the man he once was, he does not speak of the murders that he has committed or even so much as mention their names, he says he is haunted by his crimes and he focuses on doing good in the world in which he now finds himself. Once arrested and convicted he was sentenced to over 40 years inside a Panamanian prison where he remains today. While incarcerated Bill has become the prisons Chaplin and holds regular services for the other incarcerated men. He's also written a book about his experiences inside one of the worlds worst and most violent prisons, the link to which is below. Not only has he written a book but he also does a daily audio diary which he posts on youtube and has a Facebook page 'Friends of Brother Bill' that he uses to stay in touch with people on the outside. But how did Bill become a killer, what happened in his life that would send him down this path? Bill tells me his story from his prison cell in Panama.

Sean Langan: Kidnapped by the Taliban | P1: meeting the Taliban

Kidnapped by the Taliban: How Documentary Filmmaker Sean Langan Was Taken Hostage in Pakistan British documentary filmmaker Sean Langan had covered war zones for years—Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria. He was no stranger to danger. But in 2008, when he set out to make contact with the Haqqani Network in Pakistan's tribal regions, he was walking into something far more dangerous than he realized. This is the story of how Sean Langan was kidnapped by Taliban militants while trying to film a documentary about one of the world's most feared terrorist organizations. We explore his journey into Pakistan's lawless frontier, the role of fixers in war journalism, the deadly landscape for Western journalists between 2001 and 2008, and the moment everything went wrong. From Daniel Pearl to Nick Berg to Margaret Hassan—Western journalists, aid workers, and contractors were being kidnapped and executed at an alarming rate. Sean knew the risks. He'd seen the headlines. He'd reported on the stories. And he went anyway. This is Part 1 of Sean Langan's survival story: his life before his capture, how he became a war journalist and the psychology of taking risks in war zones. Hosted on Acast.

462 Days: Kidnapped in Somalia P1

In August 2008, Australian photojournalist Nigel Brennan travelled to Somalia on assignment. It would be the last decision he made as a free man for nearly a year and a half. Within days of arriving, Nigel and Canadian journalist Amanda Lindhout were ambushed on the outskirts of Mogadishu and taken captive by members of a militant group. What followed was 462 days of unimaginable physical and psychological torment, starvation, isolation, beatings, and a desperate will to survive in conditions that would break most people within weeks. But this is not just a story about captivity. It is a story about what happens to a human being when everything is stripped away. The fear, the negotiation, the impossible decisions made by families on the other side of the world trying to bring their loved ones home. The moments of dark humour and unexpected humanity in the most inhuman of circumstances. And the daring escape attempt that changed everything. Then there is the question that haunts every survivor, who do you become on the other side? How do you rebuild a life, a sense of self, a relationship with the world, after 462 days in hell? In this series Jack Laurence sits down with Nigel Brennan for an extraordinarily candid conversation spanning the months before the kidnapping, the ordeal itself, and the long and difficult road to recovery. It is one of the most remarkable survival stories ever told. Nigels book is avaliable here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 362

In Delray Beach, Florida, a routine traffic stop led police to a young man covered in blood. By the next morning, a body had been discovered. What followed was a tense interrogation — and a motive that felt disturbingly small compared to the violence it produced.
