Scott Anthony had already lived a life most people wouldn't believe. He grew up in Chicago street gangs, robbed drug dealers, trafficked cocaine, fled the United States, lived under aliases, and eventually built a new life in Mexico. Then he discovered another business: Cuban cigars. While still on federal probation, Scott says he began traveling to Cuba, buying hundreds of boxes of cigars, moving them through Mexico, and smuggling them across the U.S. border. What started with 40 boxes eventually grew into loads of hundreds at a time. His customers ranged from wealthy businessmen and cigar dealers to some of Chicago's biggest names—including Michael Jordan. In this episode, Scott breaks down the rise of his Cuban cigar operation, the border seizures, the people who moved the merchandise, his encounters in Cuba, and why he ultimately walked away from the business and put the money into building a legitimate fitness empire in Mexico. This is the story of a career criminal who eventually decided he'd pushed his luck far enough. Go Support Scott!

The Fugitive gave his first clue of the day and he's starting the bounty at R10,000! But... you'll never guess where he started his day Webpage
Stacey and J Sbu stopped asking where The Fugitive is and started asking who he is. From ice cream tubs full of dhal to knowing exactly what a four-ball in thunee means, The Fugitive passed every unofficial KZN test they threw at him. It's official: this man is one of us. But while we were busy profiling the mystery man behind the bounty, he casually slipped in a fresh clue. First, he revealed he had not been spotted at Westville Mall on Buckingham Terrace. But before signing off he left us with this cryptic message: "I've had a long day, almost checking out but I am checking in at a place with a castle." The question is: was that a clue... or classic Fugitive misdirection?
The East Coast Radio Fugitive has dropped another clue, and with his bounty now sitting at R18 000, the pressure is on. His latest message? "Open your eyes" and "strike while the iron is hot." He insists he's been telling the truth in his clues all along, even teasing listeners with a mysterious reference to an elephant in the studio. But perhaps the biggest revelation of all is what he didn't say. While KZN appears to be zeroing in on Amanzimtoti, the Fugitive has made one thing crystal clear: "Everyone is flocking to Toti. I am NOT in Toti." So is he giving the province a genuine lead... or is this another masterclass in misdirection? With R18 000 up for grabs, every word matters.

Is the East Coast Radio Fugitive outsmarting an entire province, or are we outsmarting ourselves? Stacey and J Sbu turned to magician and illusionist Mo Magic for answers. Drawing on years of creating illusions and directing attention, Mo explained the crucial role misdirection plays in staying one step ahead of a crowd. He also revealed the most common mistake people make when trying to solve a puzzle and weighed in on a fascinating question: is it better to hide something completely, or hide it in plain sight? If you're trying to crack the Fugitive's clues, this conversation might just change the way you think. Or maybe that's exactly what the Fugitive wants...

The East Coast Radio Fugitive woke up this morning and gave away his location! He's closer than we thought Webpage
The East Coast Radio Fugitive has been captured all the way in Ballito!! and the lucky listener who found him has won R54,000!!! Webpage
The East Coast Radio Fugitive called Stacey and J Sbu and left everyone wondering one thing: how much does this guy actually know? What started as a routine check-in quickly became a roast session. He took aim at Andi's checkered blazer, mocked Nick's bright red hoodie, and then casually revealed details that nobody expected him to know, including J Sbu's son, Zanda, and Stacey's cat, Goku. As if that wasn't unsettling enough, he dropped a classic Dirty Harry line: "Do you feel lucky, punk?" Was it just banter, or another clue for tomorrow's hunt? The Fugitive also confirmed he's leaving Ballito behind and will be somewhere in eThekwini from 6am tomorrow morning. With the bounty climbing and clues getting stranger, KZN has a lot to think about. Then, after declaring that he's doing what every responsible fugitive should do after being caught, "absolutely nothing", he dropped a casual "Lakka" and vanished. Again. Nobody is safe. Not Stacey. Not J Sbu. Not Andi. Not Nick. And apparently not Goku the cat either.
The Fugitive has been watching a little too closely. He knew exactly what Stacey and J Sbu were wearing today, from Stacey's leopard print and red boots to J Sbu's all-black tracksuit. While he's keeping his exact location under wraps, he did reveal one important detail: he's on the move. Ballito is behind him, and by tomorrow morning, he'll be somewhere in eThekwini. From 6 am on Wednesday, 30 September, the search starts all over again, with a bounty that's already looking very tempting. But before disappearing, He said: "Do you feel lucky, punk?" At first glance, it sounds like a bit of cheek from a man who's managed to stay one step ahead. But movie buffs will recognise it... Now the question is: was The Fugitive simply showing off his film knowledge... or has he just handed KZN a clue hiding in plain sight?
On day two of the East Coast Radio Fugitive chase, hosts Stacey and Jase catch up with the elusive Fugitive live on air. Found at Sugar Rush Park by a softly spoken listener named Deeanne, the fugitive parted with R54,000 but a substantial share of the R400,000 prize pool remains unclaimed. The Fugitive reflected on the emotional and physical toll of being hunted across KZN, reveals his unusual grounding ritual of singing old station jingles and smooths over a tense exchange from the previous day. Then, just when listeners thought they could relax, he drops a surprise promise of another clue before the afternoon is out. The hunt is far from over.
Before disappearing into his day off, the East Coast Radio Fugitive revealed his ultimate way to unwind: zero company, and a pot of Bombay Duck Curry. Carol was caught completely off guard because she has never heard of such a curry before , so she turned to the ECR KZN listeners for answers… and, of course, they had plenty to say.

Episode 131 of The Wild Chaos Podcast is streaming NOW on YouTube and all major podcast platforms!Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/K5wjqC6dY1QFormer Blue Mound, Texas Police Chief Dusty Steele spent roughly 16 years working in bail bonds and bounty hunting before becoming a police officer and eventually chief of police. But some of the biggest battles of his career wouldn't come from fugitives or criminals. They would come from inside the system itself.Dusty sits down with me to tell the story of a career that took him from hunting fugitives through some of Fort Worth's roughest neighborhoods to building the kind of police department he says he always wanted to work for.He breaks down what bounty hunting was really like before reality television turned it into entertainment, including middle-of-the-night fugitive arrests, suspects hiding in attics, violent fights, tracking people through family members and one fugitive who allegedly tried to run him over.Then Dusty's story shifts.After becoming chief of police in Blue Mound, Texas, Dusty says he built a proactive department focused on officer morale, community relationships and aggressive enforcement against local drug activity.But disagreements between Dusty and city leadership eventually emerged over police funding, employee pay, dispatch services and control of department information.On September 15, 2022, Dusty publicly resigned during a city budget hearing as officials considered changes to the police budget and outsourcing dispatch services.In this episode, Dusty gives his account of what happened behind the scenes, why he believed his position had become untenable, what happened after his resignation and why he believes small-town politics can exert enormous influence over law enforcement leadership.Bounty hunting. Fugitive arrests. Police pursuits. Drug houses. Leadership. City politics. Department culture. Retaliation allegations. And the question underneath the entire conversation:Who holds the people at the top accountable?This is Episode 131 of The Wild Chaos Podcast with former Police Chief Dusty Steele.

So before news, sport and traffic Stacey and J Sbu shared that they managed to talk to the Fugitive's mother. She had some sassy comments but the aunty tried her best. Stacey and J Sbu tried to call him, but he declined. Then sent them a voicenote Here's how it all went down...
While the music was playing, Stacey and J Sbu found a number that seemed like it may belong to The Fugitive. The phone rang and they were greeted by the Fugitive's mother? You read that right. She was just as sassy as him but at least they got to speak to someone.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that a U.S. citizen was injured after ICE agents mistook him for fugitive.
Ep. 86 - Tristin Kilgallon, a former warrant investigator with the Philly Warrant Unit joins me for a no-holds-barred look at the world of fugitive apprehension in one of the country's toughest cities.Our conversation is based on Tristin's book Philly Warrant Unit which he co-authored with his partner and lifelong friend Sgt. Mark Fusetti. They were part of a three-man team working “last out” – an 11:00 pm to 7:00 am shift. They were assigned priority cases like probation detainers and judge-only bench warrants but also had the freedom to choose where in the city they wanted to work and which cases to pursue.One of those areas was Kensington, one of Philly's most famous and infamous neighborhoods. It was the setting for the Rocky movies as well as a real-life zombie land of the drug addicted, an area rife not only with drugs but also prostitution and violence.The people Tristin and his partners encountered ranged from dangerous criminals to those whose lives had been destroyed by addiction. Their stories can be funny and bizarre, but more often than not, incredibly sad. We talk about the revolving door of the legal system and what it's like to repeatedly arrest the same people, only to see them back on the street.We also get into tactics. When you're doing some of the most dangerous work in law enforcement, tactics – as those of you listening know - can mean the difference between life and death. Tristin takes us inside the process of clearing a house, searching for suspects and the art of breaching. And we cover the unique – and I mean unique – places fugitives found to hide including refrigerators, washing machines, storage bins and more.After leaving the Warrant Unit, Tristin earned his law degree and went on to teach criminal justice at the university level for 15 years. That part of his career leads to another important conversation—one I also had in Ep. 80 with retired SFPD Deputy Chief Jim Dudley, host of Policing Matters: the influence of criminal justice professors and the anti-cop narrative many are teaching to the next generation.The interview, like the book is a fascinating look inside a specialized unit that most people know very little about.Thank you, Tristin!Buy the book on Amazon!Check out the Facebook page for the book:https://www.facebook.com/PhillyWarrantUnitConnect with Tristin:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristin-kilgallon-2a99a23b8/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tristinkilgallon/X:@tmkilgallon https://x.com/tmkilgallonConnect with Sgt.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, an Iranian delegation will be allowed to attend the UN General Assembly in New York next week, while Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been denied entry to the US. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to attend, while Mr Abbas will be allowed to address the gathering by video. The Houthi rebels have been communicating indirectly with US officials to assure Washington that their takeover of Yemen's Red Sea coast overlooking the Bab Al Mandeb strait will not lead to attacks on American ships, sources in Sanaa said. Meanwhile, Dr Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to President Sheikh Mohamed, said keeping lines of communication open with Iran is important, while stressing that attacks must stop before a new future can be negotiated. The UAE has arrested a Swedish fugitive wanted by Interpol on suspicion of leading an international money-laundering network. And visitors to Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque must now pay an entry fee of Dh5 for Emirates ID holders and Dh10 for tourists, while the mosque remains free for worshippers.

Lewis Rice spent 26 years inside the DEA, working undercover cases and helping take down some of the biggest drug traffickers in America in the 1970's, 80's & 90's. After earning his Criminal Justice degree from St. John's University, he joined the DEA and went on to coordinate major international investigations targeting violent cartels in Miami — cases that seized millions of dollars in cash and thousands of kilos of cocaine and heroin. He worked directly with infamous Harlem drug kingpin Frank Lucas after Lucas became a government cooperator, using his information to help convict major traffickers. Rice eventually rose through DEA leadership positions in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Detroit, and New York before becoming Special Agent in Charge of the DEA's flagship New York office — making him the youngest SAC in the entire agency at the time. After 26 years on the front lines of America's war on drugs, he retired in 2001. _____________________________________________ #miami #truecrimestories #cops #mafia #newyork _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Rosemary Woodruff Leary sat in a jail cell for a month rather than testify against her husband. While she was inside, Timothy Leary gave a ten page interview to Playboy about what LSD does to a woman's body and did not mention her once.She was his editor, his translator, the person who read the room for him, and the organizer who coordinated his 1970 prison escape across the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers, and the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. She called herself The Computer. Then he turned on her, pointed the FBI in her direction, and she spent twenty four years underground as Sarah Woodruff, running an inn in Provincetown with a go bag by the bed.Susannah Cahalan found her the way forgotten people usually get found. She was working through four hundred boxes of Timothy Leary's papers at the New York Public Library when she noticed a much smaller collection almost nobody had opened.Key TakeawaysRosemary Woodruff Leary served a month in jail rather than testify against Timothy Leary before a grand jury investigating Millbrook, and the Playboy interview that made him famous ran while she was inside.She was the coordinating point between the factions who organized Leary's 1970 prison escape, working with the attorney who also represented the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers. She called herself The Computer.Leary later decoded their letters for investigators and offered her mother money for her location. She spent twenty four years underground and could not hold any job requiring a Social Security number.She died at 66. Cahalan connects that directly to going without health insurance for the years she was a fugitive, which is the harm reduction point of the episode and has nothing to do with the drugs.Rosemary told students explicitly that psychedelics are not for everyone and that there is a shadow side, a position Cahalan argues is more relevant to the current renaissance than anything Leary said.LSD remains a Schedule I substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act. The April 2026 executive order directs faster federal review of psychedelic research; it does not reschedule anything.Timestamps0:00 Introduction 2:38 Ketamine, the NMDA receptor, and the sense of self 3:18 Humphry Osmond, asylum architects, and where set and setting came from 4:38 Finding Rosemary in the New York Public Library archive 5:38 Signs, synchronicity, and the I Ching 6:38 What Rosemary changed in Susannah 9:26 The women who carried the archives while the men made headlines 10:26 Millbrook, the grand jury, and a month in jail 13:06 The Playboy interview she was in jail for 14:41 The prison escape, the FBI, and the letter that ended it 16:05 Twenty four years underground and what it actually cost 18:47 Cape Cod, a new name, and a secret affair 20:47 Invisibility after a certain age 22:32 A contradictory woman 24:32 The warning Rosemary gave about psychedelics 27:32 The Robot, overuse, and why integration mattersGuest SpotlightSusannah Cahalan is a journalist and the number one New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness and The Great Pretender.Her third book, The Acid Queen: The Psychedelic Life and Counterculture Rebellion of Rosemary Woodruff Leary, was published by Viking in 2025 and named a Best Biography of 2025 by The Guardian.

Arts of the Border: Fugitive Bodies at Europe's Edges (Fordham, 2025) investigates the consequences of unfolding catastrophes across the world and the displacement they continue to produce. Through recent narratives and media representations of the refugee “crisis” at Europe's edges, it tells a new story about those on the move, the technologies unleashed on them at borders, the racialized and colonial histories that inform these technologies, and the artistry with which migrants and allies bear witness to displacement. The book reorients us toward the creativity and movement of migrants themselves– their “arts of the border”—as well as toward the political force of the arts that represent them, whether in literature, documentary film, or art installations. Sanyal proposes kino-aesthetics as a framework for capture and fugitivity at borders. From kino—to set in motion—and aesthetics— relating to sensory perception—kino-aesthetics conveys the force of bodies in motion and the image in its circulation. The book examines the simultaneity of capture and escape at thresholds of illegalization, from airport detention zones to Calais's “jungle” and the Euro-African border at Ceuta and Melilla. What emerges throughout these case studies is a portrayal of border violence in its racial and colonial forms as well as an archive of refusal, fugitivity, and un-bordered imagining. Guest Debarati Sanyal is Professor of French, Director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry, and currently holds the Zaffaroni Family Chair of Undergraduate Education. Affiliated with the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory, the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative, the Center for Race and Gender, and the Institute of European Studies, her teaching and research interests span 19th -21st-century French and Francophone literature, memory studies, aesthetics and bio/necropolitics, critical human rights and refugee studies. She is a recipient of the UC Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award (2012) and a Guggenheim Fellowship (2021-2022). She is currently co-PI on the Mellon-funded A Counter-Imaginary in Authoritarian Times (2024-2027). Besides Arts of the Border, Dr. Sanyal has authored Memory and Complicity: Migrations of Holocaust Remembrance (Fordham, 2015), translated into French as Mémoire et Complicité: Au Prisme de la Shoah (PUV, 2019); and The Violence of Modernity: Baudelaire, Irony and the Politics of Form (Johns Hopkins, 2006). She has guest-edited “Time and Politics in Contemporary Critique: Entanglements and Aftermaths” (Critical Times, 2018), ha also co-edited, with Éric Fassin, Demos Anxiety: Genealogies, Rhetorics, and Politics of Great Replacement (forthcoming in Patterns of Prejudice); with Damon Young and Mario Telò, Proximities: Reading with Judith Butler (Representations 2022), and, with Michael Rothberg and Max Silverman, Noeuds de mémoire: Multidirectional Memory in Postwar French and Francophone Culture (Yale French Studies 118-119). Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama, with research concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan France and the francophone Caribbean. Their monograph Posthumanist Ecology in Global French Surrealism is forthcoming in 2027 from Northwestern University Press.

Gael and Nathan fell in love onscreen during season 9 of Bravo's hit reality TV show Below Deck Med, airing in 2024; but, as Season 11 airs right now, a lot has happened off screen. Two days after Christmas in 2025, a terrifying assault took place inside an apartment in Sydney’s north-west. New parents Nathan Gallagher and Gael Cameron were arguing when Nathan escalated the fight covering Gael's mouth, suffocating her, and squeezing her neck. Gael eventually broke free and went straight to the police. But just months later, the couple's relationship and their journey into parenthood with their six-month-old son was broadcast to millions of viewers on Bravo's hit reality TV franchise, Below Deck Mediterranean as they returned for season 11. Fans watched their relationship play out on screen, completely unaware of the horrific domestic violence that had already taken place off-camera. Now, 28-year-old Nathan Gallagher is a convicted criminal on the run. With an active warrant for his arrest, NSW Police have warned the public not to approach him as the manhunt continues.

The biggest comic-industry story of the week centers on serious allegations against Ed Brubaker stemming from the production of Amazon's Criminal, with Jace breaking down what has been alleged, what is actually known, and why judgment needs to wait for more facts. Also this week, Absolute Batman #24 reportedly approaches an extraordinary 487,000 orders as Barbara Gordon becomes The Bat, DC reveals Batman Day 2026, Marvel transforms Inglourious X-Force into Fugitive X-Force, Indiana Jones discovers Marvel artifacts, and Jace looks at Disney's Marvel acquisition 17 years later. Image and Ghost Machine bring updates for Ice Cream Man, Red Roots, Rook: Exodus, Geiger, Creature Corps, the Energon Universe, Spawn 77, Savage Dragon and Crowbound. BAD IDEA adds Seth Green to It Demands Sacrifice, launches Warbird, and unveils new The Detective covers, while Danny Trejo's Year of the Devil, the Soulfire Timeline Omnibus and Netflix's six newly optioned comic properties round out the news. Jace then makes eight What Hit predictions, counts down the Prana Top 10, goes 7-for-8 on last week's predictions, and finishes with Final Order Cutoff—including the highly unusual fact that there are no Marvel single issues on FOC this week. That absence is explicitly called out in the finished recording as something Jace cannot remember seeing before.

Film critic Robert Daniels (RogerEbert.com, The New York Times) joins Michael Phillips to test one of Hollywood's most enduring bits of studio wisdom, attributed to producer Samuel Goldwyn: "Pictures are for entertainment, messages should be delivered by Western Union." From I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, High Noon, and The Best Years of Our Lives to Origin, Don't Look Up, and Triangle of Sadness, Michael and Robert discuss why some films are elevated by their ideas while others collapse under them, and whether the most effective message movies are the ones that never look like message movies at all.
