Twists and turns abound in this episode of The Escape Pod, as we deep-dive into the story of a Texas woman and mother of 5 who claims she and her husband were victims of a home invasion and her husband was kidnapped by the three intruders.
While there’s no one way or “right way” to act in a high-crisis situation, police body-camera footage reveals extremely unusual behavior by the wife left behind. Was she a damsel in distress, or the ringleader who planned it all? And – most importantly – where's her husband, who was known by many as a hard-working man simply trying to provide for his big family?
Plus, co-hosts Charity and Julie reveal the people, places, or things they’d like to escape from this week, including (but not limited to) strangers who stand WAY too close! Listen now!
