Witness Protection Programs -- it's not an easy way to vanish Scams & Cons

    • True Crime

t would seem if federal and state governments wanted you to disappear for your safety, it would be an easy thing to do. They can create all the documents you need, give you some money to get started and grease the wheels needed to get a new job.

If only that were the case. Being uprooted is just as difficult -- if not more so -- than taking a powder on your own.

In this episode, you'll hear from some people who were scooped up in the night to disappear and you'll hear from the people who created the federal program.

If you're thinking the best way to disappear is to catch someone committing a crime so you'll get protection, you may want to think again.
