A new report details how convicted rapist and murderer Grant Hardin, aka the Devil in the Ozarks, walked right out of prison last May. Amy and T.J. go over the 6 months of planning and the lax security that allowed the former police chief turned monster to go on the lam for nearly 2 weeks before police finally recaptured him. You’ll also hear how he got his moniker and what happened to the prison employees who were unintentionally complicit in his escape.
