  • Summary

  • During the week of March 10th, 1970, Ronnie Biggs, aka "The Last Great Train Robber," fled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The infamous train robber was on the run after helping steal the equivalent of over $50 million in today's money. His escapades fascinated the public for decades, until he finally faced justice. That same week in 2014, wanted murderer James Robert Jones was arrested -- almost 40 years after escaping the notorious Fort Leavenworth prison. His mysterious jailbreak mystified the authorities, leading to a decades-long manhunt. Crime House True Crime Stories is a Crime House Original.
