What happens when a con artist thinks he can outrun justice? Follow Chad and Rob as they unravel the chase for a fugitive who skipped on a $50,000 bond in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

The hunt begins at an abandoned camper filled with court papers and suspicious merchandise, suggesting theft and drug activities. Despite having his daughter as a co-signer who owns a local convenience store, this fugitive proves elusive as she refuses to cooperate with the bondsmen's search efforts.

The breakthrough comes from an unexpected alliance with another bondsman who still has contact with the target. Through careful planning and strategic surveillance, Chad and Rob orchestrate a perfect sting operation at the daughter's store. When the fugitive arrives, thinking he's there for a work opportunity, the team closes in from all directions.

Even with his gift for gab – the very skill that made him successful at conning people – this thin, weathered man finds himself in handcuffs, unable to talk his way out this time. In an ironic twist, his female companion who chose to stay by his side during the arrest discovers she also has an outstanding warrant, resulting in both being taken into custody together.

This real-life fugitive recovery story highlights the persistence, teamwork, and strategic thinking that goes into bringing skip cases to justice. Years later, the bondsmen still receive notifications about this fugitive through VineLink – a testament to how actions have lasting consequences in the bail system.
