    The Acupuncturist the FBI Hunted for 4 Years After the Brink's Murders

    On October 20th, 1981, armed men ambushed a Brink's armored truck outside a New York mall, stealing $1.6 million and killing a guard. Within the hour, two police officers who stopped the getaway truck were gunned down at a highway ramp. The robbery was carried out by members of the Black Liberation Army and the May 19th Communist Organization. Investigators broke the case with a license plate, an alert college student, and a trail of apartments — but the man prosecutors called the ringleader, Mutulu Shakur, stayed hidden for more than four years on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. This episode traces the robbery, the manhunt, and the trials that followed, and remembers the three men who never went home. Part of The FBI Files, based on real case history.

    He Dared a Judge to Lock Him Up. Then He Vanished for 54 Days.

    He dared a judge to give him the harshest sentence possible, promising he'd escape within months. On May 12th, 1992, Danny Ray Horning walked out of an Arizona maximum security prison in a stolen lab coat and began the largest manhunt in the state's history. For 54 days, hundreds of officers chased him through forests, canyons, and the crowded South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The public cheered him as a folk hero called Rambo. The FBI knew he was wanted for a murder in California, and that he was hunting for hostages. This episode traces his escape, the teenager who foiled a kidnapping, the roadblock that almost caught him, and the garden hose that finally did. Part of The FBI Files, based on real case history.

    He Won a Police Medal in 1993. In 1994, He Had a Witness Killed.

    In 1993, New Orleans police officer Len Davis was awarded the department's Medal of Merit. A year later, he was running a protection racket for drug dealers, and when a 32-year-old mother of three filed a complaint about him, she was dead in less than a day. This episode of The FBI Files follows Operation Shattered Shield, the FBI sting that exposed a web of corruption inside the New Orleans Police Department, the murder of Kim Groves that blew the investigation open, and the trials that followed, including the first federal death sentence for an on-duty police officer for civil rights violations.

    The Judge Was Murdered Over Money He Never Stole

    A circuit judge and his wife, shot dead in their own home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The reason: money the judge never stole. In 1987, Judge Vincent Sherry and his wife Margaret, a Biloxi city councilwoman, were murdered in a plot traced back to a prison scam run from Louisiana's Angola penitentiary, a lawyer who allegedly blamed the wrong man, and a criminal network known as the Dixie Mafia. For two years, local authorities got nowhere. Then the FBI stepped in, and an eight-year investigation exposed a corrupt sheriff's office, a city that tolerated organized crime, and a murder-for-hire plot that reached into the mayor's office.

    8 Million Flyers. 4,000 Volunteers. One Girl Who Vanished Without a Trace

    On the night of October 1, 1993, a 12-year-old girl was kidnapped at knifepoint from her bedroom during a sleepover while her mother slept in the next room. It was a stranger abduction from the home—the rarest and most terrifying kind of kidnapping. What followed was one of the largest manhunts in FBI history. Polly Klaas became a household name. Her face appeared on the cover of People magazine, on national news every night, and on more than 8 million flyers distributed as far as China. Thousands of volunteers joined the search. The FBI poured resources into the case, collecting fibers, fingerprints, and the single palm print that would eventually crack it open. But the investigation was haunted by a devastating mistake: deputies had stopped the suspect just two hours after the abduction, but they let him go. They didn't know about the kidnapping. They didn't know they were face to face with a twice-convicted kidnapper named Richard Allen Davis. Two months later, a palm print found in Polly's bedroom would finally match. But by then, it was too late. This is the story of the kidnapping that changed American law forever. The case that inspired California's "Three Strikes" law. The case that transformed the FBI's approach to solving crimes. And the case of a little girl whose smile would never be forgotten. This is The FBI Files. Press play—if you dare.

    Out of Jail on August 15. Four People Dead by Labor Day.

    In a quiet Ohio community, an elderly woman vanishes without a trace. Hours later, a teenage boy disappears. The police know the cases are linked—but they don't know how. What begins as a local mystery spirals into a cross-country crime spree that leaves a trail of stolen vehicles and murder victims across seven states. The FBI joins the hunt for two suspected killers who are always one step ahead. Every time agents close in, the suspects slip away—leaving behind another stolen car, another victim, another community shattered. This is the story of how a small-town disappearance became one of the most relentless manhunts in FBI history. This is The FBI Files. Press play—if you dare.

    The Robbery That Rewrote How America Decides the Death Penalty

    A former security professional. A sniper rifle. A single shot outside an Arizona mall that killed an armored van driver and set off a manhunt ending in a drainage culvert off a desert highway. The capture of Timothy Ring closed the case. But what happened next, in an Arizona courtroom and ultimately before the United States Supreme Court, reshaped how every death penalty case in America is decided to this day. This episode goes deeper into the Arrowhead Mall heist — the tactical precision of the crime, the manhunt that ended it, and the landmark Sixth Amendment ruling, Ring v. Arizona, that followed.

    The Gas Station Mogul Who Rigged Pumps and Ordered Murders

    He started out washing cars for a living. Within a decade, Gurmeet Singh Dhinsa controlled more than fifty gas stations across New York City — a business empire built on rigged pumps, counterfeit inspection seals, and a willingness to order murder to protect it. When police discovered gas pump circuit boards hidden in the trunk of a car connected to his operation, it unraveled a sprawling fraud scheme that shortchanged thousands of customers for years. What followed was a federal RICO investigation that ended not just in fraud charges, but convictions for racketeering, murder, and kidnapping. This episode traces the rise of the man known as the Gas Czar, and the case that brought his empire down. Part of The FBI Files, based on real case history.
