In 1958, 16-year-old William Leslie Arnold shot his parents over a dispute involving the family car. Less than a decade into his life sentence, he escaped prison and was on the run for over forty years. In 2022, a genealogy database finally revealed his whereabouts.

Was that the motive for the murders? Arnold's escape and life on the run are fascinating, and the fact that he could elude the authorities for so long is almost unbelievable.
