(02:08):
right into it. I want to hear no other words. Okay,
are you guys ready, yes, Okay, let's get started. On
Monday September twenty six, twenty eleven, Portuguese authorities arrested sixty
eight year old Jose Luis Jorge do Sago. That's not nice,
add his own that he shared with his wife. He
(02:30):
was taken to a police station nearby, where he was
thoroughly questioned about where and who he was before he
started living in Portugal. He wasn't immediately forthcoming, but could
tell that investigators knew a lot more about him than
he wanted them to know, and eventually he showed them
proof that there was an FBI and US Marshall's Joint
(02:51):
Task Force operation created just to find him. Hey ho hey,
and they've been looking for him for over forty years
join us as we discussed the US fugitive George Edward Wright. Mom,
what it's her birth name? She's gonna show her week,
great because you don't not. Thanks forever said George his name?
(03:26):
He said? Hoay, she said George?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Or what.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The man has two names? Is everyone? Okay? He was
one person that he was not. I'm not playing with
you today? All right? Do we all? Time's no? I
A'm playing with Joe? Okay. George was born on March
twenty ninth, nineteen forty three, in Halifax, Virginia. Oh, it's
a city not too far from the North Carolina border. Okay.
(03:53):
He and his young sister, Edwina grew up in a
farming community and yes, it's heavily segregated time. George's father
was an alcoholic and abandoned the family when he was
just five years old, and his mother unfortunately passed away
from rheumatic fever a few years after that. Yeah. I
(04:13):
didn't know what rheumatic fever was, so I look it
up and it's an immune disease that attacks the heart, joints, skin,
blood vessels, and brain.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, right, what is the mom saying? Rheumatic rheumatic. She's
made it up right in this moment, right now. So
(04:41):
George recipes of his MoMA. George and his sister were
primarily raised by their grandmother. Thank god for a grandmother.
Grandmother's be stepping, they really do. George still managed to
graduate high school and get accepted to North Carolina A
and T in Greensboro. Go George, and if you, if
(05:03):
you like, heard that school before, but it sounds a
little bit familiar. It might be because the year before
George arrived, the famous sit ins happened. So I know
some of you guys have met messaged us and said like, hey,
I this the black history segments. You know I get
those all the time. We're trying to bring it back Christen.
We can't rely on Kristen. I'm going to talk to
mom about maybe picking it up, because it would be funny.
(05:24):
Here Mom tried to do really anything, read anything, say
tell a story, it would be fun Carol, I can
tell a story. And then yeah, we know, we know,
but yeah. So there were four black students that sat
in a white ally's counter and refused to leave after
they were refuse service. They say there till it closed.
(05:45):
And this started a huge wave of cit ins all
over the country and eventually obviously led to like desegregation
and all that type of stuff. So super dope, that's dope.
And this happened a year before George got there. Period. Okay,
so that was George's college for one year, because by
the first month of his sophomore year he dropped out.
What happened? College is for everyone, and it's expensive. It
(06:07):
is not back then still though some people just couldn't
afford it. He would later say about this time in
his life that quote, I was uncertain about everything, my life,
where I was going, all of that. So once he
left school, he said, he caught a bus to New Jersey.
He rented a room for four dollars a week. So
(06:29):
four dollars a week then is forty three hours a
week today. That's doing that thing. What was you adding, George?
A motel, hotel holiday, roach tale. It was a roachtail,
crazy cheap deal. And he just started building a life
out there. He got a job as a short ordered cook,
and he even started dating a girl that lives in Ashbury. Oh, okay,
(06:49):
Hashbury Park, isn't it. So he was on the up
and up until one day he was robbed. Oh oh oh.
He went to use one of the communal shower it's
at the place who's renting a room from, and left
his room door open while he was gone. George and George,
and by the time he came back, his whole wallet
(07:11):
was missing. And George was sick y'all because he needed
the dollar twenty five to catch the bus in his job,
which was multiple towns away. Now he can't even get
to work. He's gonna mind. And he asked everyone he
could to borrow the money. He asked his girlfriend, she
didn't have it. Her uncle he didn't have it. But
he said, quote, I knew this fellow named McGhee. I
(07:34):
went to his house and I asked him. And the
guy's name is Walter McGee, to be specific. And Walker
told George that although he didn't have the money, he
knew how they could get it. Oh, mickey, oh, mickey McGee.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Oh McGee, Oh, I thought, he said, So they go, Georgy, Georgio.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
According to George, McGee said, quote, there ain't gonna be
no problem. Just go in and put the gun in
the guy's face. More for dollars just to get on
the bus. So good, so good, so good.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
So on Black Friday in nineteen sixty two, nineteen year
old George Walter, a guy named Julio de dal Leone,
and a girl named Elizabeth Roswell hit the streets with
pantyhoses on their heads to hide their faces and rob
the motel in English Town, New Jersey. It took all them,
(09:38):
four people, you know, more. I guess more confidence comes
with more people, like now I gotta split the money
with you. We're about to do more there because the
group made off with two hundred dollars. Oh okay, dollar
today is over two thousand. It's a twenty one hundred dollars.
(10:00):
Split that with somebody right now, we'll be mad. But
since they had to split it four ways, they weren't
satisfied because they're greedy beast. He should have been because
all he needed was a dog twenty five exactly. And
so I don't know why he wasn't satisfied, you know what,
But we don't know. I don't know if this was
like the very next day or what. He may have
lost his job by this point. But once you see
(10:22):
how quickly you can make money, it's other than going
to go work for eight hours and make four dollars.
You know. That's why they said that fast money is addicting.
Yes it is. I won't be addicted, Mom, No, you
don't up just for a little while. Being gonna be
on these streets and on the pole. How are you
gonna do it? She had the only way you can
make fast Christians, the only way Mom like her little
scratch ob she needs to go to Vegas. Mom makes
(10:44):
some money in Vegas. I like this, this is about
scratch out. I just showed him that this morning. Day.
I'm we're gonna talk about illegal stuff like what George
is doing. Right, Definitely, don't even nothing, because when I
got the code for scratch offs, you thank you. I know,
idea you had a col you'ld be scratching off because
(11:08):
and everything else. Something's getting scratched, right, Well, something does
get scratched that has nothing to do with you. Guys.
Well can I puke? And then can we continue contain you?
So twenty one dollars that they had to split it.
They wasn't satisfied and decided to head to wall, New Jersey,
where the group robbed a gas station. Oh two out
(11:32):
of the four were carrying guns and pulled them out
when confronted the owner of the store, who was named
Walter Patterson, and he was actually a World War Two
veteran a period. Don't know want to play thank you
for your service, Walter. At some point during the robbery,
one of them shot Walter Patterson before they all led
the store with a measley seventy dollars seventy dollars was
(11:53):
still seven hundred and sixty dollars back then, but like
not not worth a man's like no. Although Walter was
rushed to the hospital, he died from his injuries two
days later. That's sad. Now you're yep, now they're killers.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I'm not sure how the police were like so quickly
able to identify and arrest George and his accomplices. But
the very same day, it was November twenty fifth, I
believe the group was arrested. Good. So this is what
homeboy was looking like on the day of his arrest. George,
you just needed that dollar twenty five. I turned into
another Greek Greek greed and peer pressure. It trying to
(12:32):
looks sad what you said for George, I said, George,
you need to be a leader and not a follow period.
Dollar twenty five man, that's that's rough. That's rough. I
mean he had enough money for the first hit to
pay up his room yep, for a week while the
job that was all the time night. Yeah, dang, George,
(12:54):
you dun't that's true. That made are just so quick?
Can they ruin your life? So it is sad. Ballistics
later determined that the fatal gun shot came from the
gun that Walter McGee was holding. Ah. But, as we've
seen a lot on this show, if someone dies while
(13:15):
you're committing another crime and you're getting charge, everybody going down.
Even if it's one of your friends that you committed
the crime, what they die, you're still getting charge of
their murder. Dany, And that's exactly who happened to these guys.
So Walter McGee, the shooter, was found guilty and sentenced
to life in prison in February of nineteen sixty three.
George was scared of facing the death penalty for his charges,
(13:39):
so he didn't really want to go to trial, and
he decided to plead no contest to his charges and
was sentenced to fifteen to thirty years in prison. Wow,
would George be afraid that the death penality when McGee
only got life because he was charged with murder. And
they're always like, they're not you guys are in the
same room when they're telling you, guys, hey, you're facing death.
(14:00):
So when he's in a room by himself being totally
facing death, he's like, what's then? No, don't even want
to take the risk, which I get because he got
way less than the other guy. And like I said,
I wrote down, it's a lot better than death, and
it's better than getting life as well. You know, so
he really dodged a bullet. Okay. Four years into his sentence,
(14:23):
the twenty four year old was transferred to Leesburg State Prison,
which was a maximum security prison farm. Don't like that name.
And when I say maximum security facility, it's definitely like
it's giving minimum y'all. Because the perimeter of this place
was not fenced in, so they relied heavily on watch towers,
(14:44):
attentive guards, and regular INMA accounts to make sure no
one was escaping. AKA. The most rudimentary that you can get. Yeah,
it's my high school because we get basically in high school,
you was getting counted every class that you went to,
which was like what hour, fifteen hours, thirty minutes later.
So yeah, they're keeping track of you that way, and
(15:04):
you can leave whenever. So years past, it's now nineteen seventy,
George is like twenty seven and twenty eight, and he's
tired of prison. On seventeen years later, he's tired of me.
He's right stuck out. Okay, So he starts conspiring with
a fellow inmate named George Brown, along with two other
(15:24):
men to escape to joyous Ueen. I can't blame them
if there's no gates. I feel like you're teasing me. Yeah,
like you you're telling me you want me to go.
Yeah until that snipe up top shooting the booty cool
as she run the way. Probably see mom please? So
(15:47):
on Wednesday, August nineteenth, nineteen seventy, the four men knew
that the hourly con would happen around ten pm like
it always does because these people are cataract though I
say it was completed. The men slipped past the very
unattentive guards, made their way to the warden's car that
(16:08):
they hot wired, and then escape. They stole stole the
Whartons car. They went out of stand this warden and
droll straight to Atlanta City. Wow, Georgie. So they did
all this before the eleven pm count started. They had
a full hour to escape. No one knew to look
(16:30):
for them. Are we how mad? Can you be?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Like?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
This is? I would say says that no one's ever
tried to escape other than just now right because they
were completely unprepared. Chris did didn't even notice they were
gone within an hour. At least it took them at
least an hour. Man, close your eyes, exhale, feel your
(16:54):
body relaxed, and let go of whatever you're carrying today.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Well I'm I'm letting go of the worry that I
wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I got them delivered free from one eight hundred Contacts.
Oh my gosh, they're so fast and breathe. Oh sorry,
I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they
gave me on my first order. Oh sorry, no mistay.
Visit one eight hundred contacts dot com today to save
on your first order contacts. Once in Atlantic City, George
(17:23):
Right and George Brown boarded a bus to New York
and the other two guys noticed how I didn't even
mention their names. They were almost immediately used to say, yeah,
they didn't know what were going on. There was a
tiptoe on them. They didn't. They just they didn't think
further than getting a yeah, yeah, Well they won't back,
(17:44):
don't y'all. This is another prison escape case. Back give
the New Orleans ten that we talked about and that
was actively going on. Yes, the only person that's still
free out of those ten is the one person's case
that we cover, which is Derek bro. He still free.
They got Maxie, Yeah, Maxie. They got Maxy good because
(18:07):
he was he was guilty. Maxi and his mom came
out and they were like talking shot. His mom was like,
he ain't guilty. He ran, so it was just a lie.
He's like he was. Maxio posted a video like saying
anything because this before and now listen before insted video
(18:31):
wasn't live. I didn't do what just stand that. I think.
I'm it's it. But you ran, dude, you escaped. I know,
like when you escape it doesn't look great, but yeah,
it is what it is. He's back in there and
Derek is still out. So if you haven't listened to
episode one eighty eight yet, you definitely should. Yeah, ain't sorry,
(18:51):
not on Maxie can't get his name. Half your mama
was mam the she was I was scared. I ain't scared. No,
So George and the other George linked up with a
man named Melvin McNair who was also on the run,
(19:14):
but for different reasons. He had left the army, so
he was a deserter, and he was not like a cap.
The army will literally do you in the booty. Understand
that they will, but that's what means they will screw you. Oh.
So the two Georgians stayed with Melvin and his wife
(19:37):
for a while. Somehow George had managed to keep a
girlfriend through all this. I don't know if he kept her,
got her after he was released, whatever, but her name
is Joyce Brown, and she was helping him stay out
of prison too.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
M M.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
George quickly learned that living life actively on Theron was
just not for him. Okay you think, And honestly the
others felt the same, Like they're like bross. So they
started planning their next escape, oh from escape from from America.
Have being hunted by the US authority. You can't sleep
(20:12):
at night if you know the US is tracking you,
Oh for sure. That's usually when they tracked you by night,
when you sleep. La looked tired on that picture. Well
this is right, actor, this is his when you got
arrested after the murder. So listen to this. George Wright,
his girlfriend, Joyce, her daughter, George Brown, Melvin McNair, his wife,
(20:32):
and their two children all booked seats on a flight
to Miami from Detroit on July thirty first, nineteen seventy two.
Of course under fake names. But like, h that's a
lot of people to be trying to ray baby already.
They got a lot of money. How much was an
airplane ticket back then? Probably seven dollars twenty two dollars. Wow,
(20:55):
So this is nineteen seventy two, we know anyone and
everyone could get on a plane at this at this point,
no issue, and anything and everything could have gotten on
the plane, no issue. So two hours into the Delta
Airline flight eight forty one, Reverend Larry Darnell Burgess pulled
out a gun from a Bible with the pages cut
(21:15):
out and took a flight attendant hostage. Oh my god,
so Larry aka George Right, okay, I got okay, put
that together. It's like I'm the shock of the century.
He was dressed like a pastor and all gonna use
(21:36):
the Bible. So do your name is Larry? Yeah, Larry
was the preacher. Yeah, with the gun in the hut,
in the bible in the bag, you got okay, imagination,
you need to go to school. He took the flight
attend the hostage, and then demanded to speak to the
pilot today. Where to get to it?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Instead of keeping a little profile, the other adult fugitives
join in the gun pulling and essentially hijack the plane.
Oh my god, y're trying to get out the country.
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Well?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
This is still like nineteen seventies. What's that boy name?
DWB di Bols? No, not him, the guy that hijacked
that plane and disappeared. What's his name? All that black
man that we still can't find to this day. He's
not black? Oh I thought he's black. No, anyway, what
movie they've been watching to get all this? I'm trying
to tell you, I can't remember his name. We've talked
(22:32):
about him so many times on the show. I just
can't remember his name. But you know what I'm talking. Yes,
the guy was really famous for hijacking that plane and
then disappearing. Clearly so. The hijackers ordered that the plane
and land in Miami as scheduled, But if they wanted
all the passenger passengers on board to arrive safely, their
demands would have to be met. And there were eighty
(22:52):
six people on this plane, men, women, children, all of them,
and these fugitives were in like a very desperate situation,
so it was gary. The authorities were taking them very seriously.
They demanded one million dollars to be delivered to the
plane by a man in a skin tight bathing suit
basically a speedo. All why, I'm telling they wanted to
(23:20):
make sure he wasn't carrying something. They wanted to make
sure he was completely They've done something before, bringamated the
whole reason.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
And that.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Everything, and we gotten him downs do.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
So what's Once the plane landed in Miami, the FBI
was waiting and reportedly sent an agent in Espeedo to
the plane with a suit kate of cash.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
The suitcase of cash. Now they have a picture. I
don't know where the picture is. I'm gonna search after
we get out of the episode and hopefully find it
and make it. Want everybody was walking around like basically naked. No, no,
(24:16):
I'm just saying, like they wanted to kill him. He
died half naked, poor thing. What happened? That's crazy? You know,
I told you was a crazy kid. So one of
the crew members on the plane were forced to bring
the cash onto the plane after like the guy exchanged
it with him. And after George had the cash in
his hand, he kept his word and released all those
passengers except the pilot. Yeah, I really, I'm just going
(24:41):
with you and the crew. That was his last bargaining ship.
But I guess if you could get them back up
in the airy because now they had to fly him
and his friends to Algeria, which is the country in
North Africa. So you can tell George, just like I
can do anything I want my mind to win, nothing
is impossible. And he had a plan. I mean they
(25:03):
plan this, the plans Dan. This must have happened while
they was locked up. They were thinking about it for
them seven years. Oh yeah, they were. So he's about
to get really cocky and do some cocky stuff. The
pilot tells them, Hey, like, not only do I did
not know how to fly internationally, never been trained for it,
(25:23):
but we don't even have enough fuel for the plane
to make it there. That right. So what I was
reading about all this, I'm like, they didn't have from
Miami to Boston that flight for the FBI to think
of a way to like unarm these people or make
sure they don't leave the country. It is nineteen seventy two,
so they weren't working with as much. But dang, you
let them go to Boston refuel and then get back
(25:46):
up in the airs because they actually let them do it. Yes,
So what I would have done was why they was
on the ground getting refueled in Boston. I would have
had me a couple of ages to go up the
kobooths of that complaint the airplane and mine is a
(26:11):
terrible thing. The way go up there in the comptent.
Give me some gun. Uh lo the h is up
there and overtook the plank here like through the little
hatch where they put the lugage. Yeah, there were so
many possibilities. That was the best one. But yeah, after
they refueled and picked up their new buddy, the international pilot,
(26:35):
correct George, the hijackers and their three children were off
to Algeria. Wow. I rather they smoked weed the entire life. Wow.
They had it once. They led it in Algiers, which
is a city in Algeria. It's like they have the
favorite of the lord. Y'all. I'm not even lying. Because
thanks of the Socialist government at the time, George Wright
(26:57):
and the rest of this group were able to gain
political asylum. They must have not licked fro the United States.
They all have to go to a place that doesn't
feel like they need answer to the United States and
isn't kissing their behind and they're not going to send
you back. WHOA, my goodness. Maybe they just msay because
they were black and there's the white people tied them
(27:19):
down well before they left the States. They did end
up joining. I read that they joined like the Black
Black Federalists something mm hmmm, something that was like similar
to the Black Panther partly technic, and that's kind of
how they were able to create a network of people
being able to help them get to where they needed
(27:39):
to be. And they had a lot, and they had
that so they didn't get a million of the city.
They did bring the millions. So when they got there
and they linked up with an expat named Eldridge Cleaver
who was also a Black Panther leader, and Eldri so
this is Eldridge, Okay, the Lilies of Mine right, And
(28:00):
Eldridge himself had been granted asylum after escaping from the
US in nineteen sixty eight. Oh my god, this is crazy. Also,
it is that time Black Panther all the civil rights
stuff people was going to Africa. I read that he
was convicted of burglary, assault, rape, an attempted murder. Okay, well, look, Eldrick,
(28:23):
I don't like that ripe and stuff. Right. Yeah, he
spent some time in San Quentin, which is the worst
prison ever. Yeah, and he escaped police custody in nineteen
sixty eight after leading an ambush against Oakland police officers,
and he was injured in the ambush and two officers
were wounded as well. This story is like a whole
(28:44):
other episode. Sure it is look at but yeah, so
let's look at him a little bit more. Oh garing
that Terence light Terrence.
Speaker 7 (28:54):

(30:45):
offered asylum, but there was a catch that one million
dollars was not going with them. Yeah, and it was
seized of course by the Algerian government, and then the
Algerian government returned it to the US, along with the
plane and the fight crew. So they were very fair,
I'll keep your naggas and give your money back. That's
(31:06):
a Friday help yep. So they basically had nothing, and
with nothing, they tried to rebuild and had to stay
with eldridd and Eldridge and his group for a while,
but the arrangement didn't last long because they didn't agree
with Eldridge's message and like what he was ultimately trying
to do. You know, we all want equality. Some people
(31:27):
just want to go about a different way.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
So George and the original hijackers traveled to Paris to
get away and attempted to start over again. They found
money somewhere because the last time I checked, Paris and
Nigeria wasn't that close to Well, they have a network
where they have people that are helping them. Okay, so
they have a little.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
Bit of help and some mindy people ain't doing it
for free.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
It's now nineteen seventy six, and in came the worst
stroke of padla Okay, George Brown, Joyce Brown, the McNair's
and all their children were all taken into custody when
somehow it was discovered that they were carrying fake passports.
Stop traveling, sit down, Then I hijack. Then I had guns.
(32:13):
They they are millions and it's your fake passport, and
and got your car in a whole other country and
a whole other So with this came the uncovering of
their real identities, which led to all of the adults
being tried for the plane hijacking in a French court.
Luckily for them, they can do this. Oh luckily, Yeah,
(32:34):
like your lawyers are, like, you know, you should be
they should be tried here in the French court because
they won't get as fair of a trial in the
US court. Apparently the French court agreed and they were
each handed a three year prison sentence. Now the US
government was not happy about this, but they couldn't do
anything bang, which is beautiful to hear sometimes because you
(32:56):
were saying nothing so what did they say it in French? Yeah?
In Paris? Okay, Okay, so everyone was caught except George.
How did George get away? I wonder how that happened?
So I read that he said that he broke himself
off from the rest of the group, like right before
(33:17):
the arrest happened, because he just felt like it was
easier for him to elude and like stay out of
public eye by himself, which is true. You're traveling with
seven people, Yeah, but some of them his kids, so
you know, none of them are his kids. He just
left the woman that gave up everything to be with him,
just like a man. She's so dumb, like you. You
(33:41):
never gave up everything for a man that has nothing,
are you? Okay? So yeah, it's not looking good for
any of them. Honestly, they're in jew As we know.
Who knows where the kids are. I didn't find anything
about that because that's the really sad part. And while
everyone else is serving their time, George is completely onto
the next. Yeah, he ain't dying, he doesn't care. No,
(34:04):
he ain't got the kids, no whaddy because that means
he's gonna drug is exactly They're good. They put there
was in foster care in their different countries and learn
they did their three years right and they came out
(34:25):
either way. While everyone was serving their time, thirty three
year old George made his way to France, but ultimately
landed in Portugal. And this is when he changed his
name to Jose Luis Jorge dos Santos and he really planted.
He really did that, Josie. He's sung it through the school,
(34:45):
but he's one is old. Oh well, honestly, it seems
like he knows he knows the right people to like,
the right type of groups of people to go to,
and he knows the right women like he is, find
the right women that are gonna risk their whole life
to make sure he's okay. So het another woman he's
in order to get there okay. He met a woman
(35:06):
named Rosario and he wanted to marry her, but he
was still stressed out about like possibly being arrested and
sent back to the US. So he went to the
nation of Guinea Bissale. I don't know if I'm pronouncing
it right, And at the time they were known to
grants his citizenship to expats. Expats stands for expatriots. The
vice president of Guinea Bissle was so impressed by George
(35:29):
that not only did he offer him asylum and citizenship,
but he also offered to help him falsify his identity better.
So like he knows this man is not Hoe or
Jose or whoever he's trying to be black, that he
black from anywhere you show again because be speaking in languages.
(35:51):
So he helped him. He provided him with proper paperwork
under the name Hoorge or Jose whichever, I don't know
which one was the first. And finally George didn't have
to run anymore. Wow. Wow. Rosario ended up moving to
Guinea Bissau to be with George. The couple got married
in nineteen ninety and ended up having two children together,
one in nineteen eighty six and then one in nineteen
(36:12):
ninety one. This is George. George is the whole life.
O Holy year life. Look at the list George, that's
in his life. Wow, Rosaru, Ebony and Ivory, I'm playing
that's his rider child. Wow. George has lived like three
different lives, already lived in three different countries and has
(36:34):
been on the run for at least what fifteen twenty
years at this point? Wow and he actually made it
and he's making it. Wow, George. He worked from nineteen
eighty nine to nineteen ninety three as a logistics coordinator.
I mean he liskts in talented him, like hey, man
didn't have any type of really formal education. He had
(36:54):
one year of college and he's somebody's logistics coordinator in
the country. Is never he didn't grow up in Like
how like the fact that you were able to hijack
a plane and go to a whole nother country and
be okay after that and then become a white collar
corporate man and have family. That's why America's not the
only place you can. He was bold enough to not
(37:20):
even stay with Leroy in them because he didn't believe
in what they was doing. Leroy Leroy, Eldridge Cleaver. Oh,
and I'm glad he didn't. And he also left all
those other dead weights and let them go to prison
because you and we, all eight of us, stay together,
(37:40):
we're getting caught. He's very smart. All he used to
do is read one book or do what d. W. E.
Bull is whatever his name is. He had seven years
also to plan this. He probably planned it from beginning
to end. Who knows. Like he picked up Joyce and
he picked up the other guy.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
So I don't know if he planned from that beginning
that they would have to leave the country together and
everything like that. But once they left the country and
he saw how it was like getting sticky and how
hard it is to move with so many people, he
was like so preservation.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
He was just he was just.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Good at what he did. He wasn't a dummy. That's
no shell, that's SHELFI. You know, he has some smarts
about them, you know, hey kudos, like, yeah, he made
it terrible. He made four that would have been his
whole life. Eventually, he and his family moved back to Portugalo,
and he and his family lived their best lives. He
(38:33):
opened up a fried chicken Restaurantckey Yeah Town an American dream,
and be out of town Georgia literally until oh, Monday,
September twenty sixth, twenty eleven, he was arrested after spending
forty one years on the rent. Well, you lived a
(38:53):
good life time, he said, down anyone she was resting him. Rosario,
his wife, said that although she knew about his jail escape,
she had no idea her husband had been convicted of
murder and knew nothing about the plane hijacking, and you did.
I mean most men probably didn't tell her everything. Yeah,
you know that's a deep secret. You don't trust many
(39:15):
people with that because she could have snitched on him
at any time, and for the sake of her happiness,
he probably didn't want to tell her. Her full name
is Marian Doo Rosario Valente. And she said she Loki
didn't even believe the mom I'm not doing it and
she had it so well, and she said she low
KEI didn't even believe the Joie break story. She thought
(39:35):
he was just like trying to put on Well, it
does sound crazy. He does look at her though, she
she got some black pink and yeah, and never turned
by m M. She said her adult children were completely
heartbroken by their father's arrest and said that she didn't
know him to be anything other than a loyal and
(39:56):
loving father and husband. George is now sixty eight years
old at this point, like in these pictures, he's sixty
eight and a bit of it. He's been a citizen
of Guinea Bissau since the late eighties. Like why is
he being arrested at this point? Well, it's because the
FBI was trying to reinvigorate the search and capture of fugitives,
(40:17):
kind of like how Trump thinks he's doing something by
like stopping and frisking people in DC for dumb stuff.
They were like, okay, well, let's go, you know, chase
down these people. And being that George was still in
contact with his family from back home, namely his sister Edwina,
they were able to track him to Portugal because he
was still calling her from freaking French. Really thought he
(40:38):
had made it. Yeah, he thought he got he got off.
He had asylum in multiple countries, remember, because he hadn't
go to al Jeria first day gave him political asylum,
then Guinea Bissal they gave him a silent citizenship. Then
he goes to Portugal and he gets his citizenship under
the fake name. He's doing great. So, like we mentioned
in the intro, once he was caught, he eventually admitted
(40:59):
who he really was. But now the US government had
to try to get him expedited, extradited. They wanted him
to return to the US and serve out his remaining
twenty two years for the murder of Walter Pass. Catch
Me if you can't, right, uncle saying but in Portugalian. No,
(41:20):
that's how he's in portug No, okay, I like Portugolian.
But the Portuguese government said that at this point the
almost seven year old was no threat to the Portuguese citizens.
He had been a citizen himself for over twenty years.
So he's not going anywhere anyway. This is my Negro.
(41:46):
Then Negro safe over here. Yeah, he's a productive citizen. Yeah,
he really does. A member of society. Look a, there's me.
So what does the charges waiting for him in the US?
As long as he doesn't break the law and never
leaves Portugal. George Wright, who is now almost know he
(42:06):
is eighty two years old and according to records, still living.
He'll be a free man. Say less fame, say that,
I ain't want to come back to the U United
States anyway, and we're gonna get your little passport going.
And he didn't even kill nobody. Hey, run on, George,
(42:26):
and from what we can see, he hasn't committed more crimes. Yeah,
he's a model Susan. He didn't even want to be
in that life. Somebody stole his down twenty five. Yeah,
but he second round. It's true. He made a terrible,
terrible mistake that was going to destroy his life. And
he was like, but god, yeah about them seven years?
(42:49):
Yes he he't right. Wait, man, he served seven years.
It's enough. You know, I didn't kill nobody. I mean here,
left hand. Let me get up out of here. Because
justice ain't justice. Justice ain't justice sing not at all.
I honestly think one of the reasons George was able
(43:09):
to elude US authorities like for so long is because of,
like we said, the community of expats that he was
able to find. Yeah, like, once you just leave somewhere
people you don't have to tell them why you left.
They're just like, oh, he's an American and he doesn't
know what it's like to be out here. Let's help them.
And he got really lucky with a lot of that.
They were helping him, like find food, communicate the language,
(43:30):
you know, fine place to live, all that. I love it.
And back then it was really segregated. So it probably
helped that he, like what you're saying, trying to get
out of the United States with America because he went
over the seas and was trauma a lot. Like people
really were like we receive you yeah all over yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.
(43:51):
He's well versed. He kind of what's happening now, Like
people are incentivizing us to leave the United States, and
you don't have to scentify me too much. No, I
want to go. Yeah, you're gonna go. Mom, come with us,
Let me go, let me go. There's documentary about the
plane hijacket that was made in twenty eleven called Nobody
(44:12):
Knows My Name, and it was made the same year
George was arrested in Portugal, which I think is kind
of funny because he's featured in the documentary, so I
think they're like, oh, we found you, you know, like
you're not hiding that well anymore. You're on camera. There
was also a documentary made called Melvin and Jean, An
American Story. It's about Melvin and his wife. What are
(44:34):
their names, the McLean's, the McNair's, the McNair. There you go, boo,
I'm trying. Apparently, after their stint in prison, they changed
their lives completely and they stayed in France and they
worked at an orphanage. So I didn't find out too
much about the other accomplices, like what their sentences were
they took plea deals and stuff like that. But I
(44:55):
really want to I want to know where the heck
did George Brown end up? Where did Joyce Brown? When
I'm cheering it, you know some of the keys. Well,
my synopsisis is the only real crook was McGee. He
shot the person. Yeah, and it was it's gonna go smooth, George,
(45:15):
know you gotta do this? Yeah, right, band criminal? Yeah,
he was the murderer.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
He was.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
He made the ultimate decision that we're on all of
their lives shoot that person. Even if they got caught
for the robbery that you robberies, they probably would have
served like four years, you know, each at most at most,
So Dan you Walton McGee, Well, he's served, he's done.
He didn't escape, George, George ain't. George made his decisions
(45:46):
and then he made some more. Yeah, living his best
life in Europe. But yeah, what turn the where is it?
I think these are pictures that were taken when he
was interviewed for the the show. Yes, so sophisticated. Yeah,
so that's our case for this week, y'all. What cool
(46:11):
it was? But it was the ride, yeah, right, all right?
Enjoying was doing a lot, Johnny said, and maybe let
me go shooting me go, that's what he said. If
you can't, they let him go. I like it, Jos,
(46:38):
like it your life in your hands. Literally, he literally
did that. Served my time. Yeah, I'm guiltful, man, I
can do this. Let me get out. He didn't do
it again, Like that's the great part about it. Yeah,
you know there's some dumb stuff here, and then go
and continue to be if he's crap because that's not
what he wanted. No, so good for him. Honestly, he was.
(47:00):
He got caught up in a very crappy situation. But
I think the situations like these make you feel like, Okay,
the Lord ultimately makes the decisions you you feel that
in this case, it's like, I don't think you deserved
to spend fifteen thirty years in jail. I just don't.
I didn't, and clearly he didn't either, So I notice,
I don't know if he was broken as a joke,
(47:20):
like you said, when he went to Algeria and them,
he didn't have a lot. They took that one million
dollars and he still didn't have to go steal and
do all this stuff that he had to do. In America.
I should really tell you something. Yep, yep tells you
a lot if you pay attention. So yeah, I love
you guys so much. Let us know what you got.

let's get back to the business. Okay, business, We're jumping
(02:08):
right into it. I want to hear no other words. Okay,
are you guys ready, yes, Okay, let's get started. On
Monday September twenty six, twenty eleven, Portuguese authorities arrested sixty
eight year old Jose Luis Jorge do Sago. That's not nice,
add his own that he shared with his wife. He
(02:30):
was taken to a police station nearby, where he was
thoroughly questioned about where and who he was before he
started living in Portugal. He wasn't immediately forthcoming, but could
tell that investigators knew a lot more about him than
he wanted them to know, and eventually he showed them
proof that there was an FBI and US Marshall's Joint
(02:51):
Task Force operation created just to find him. Hey ho hey,
and they've been looking for him for over forty years
join us as we discussed the US fugitive George Edward Wright. Mom,
what it's her birth name? She's gonna show her week,
great because you don't not. Thanks forever said George his name?
(03:26):
He said? Hoay, she said George?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Or what.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The man has two names? Is everyone? Okay? He was
one person that he was not. I'm not playing with
you today? All right? Do we all? Time's no? I
A'm playing with Joe? Okay. George was born on March
twenty ninth, nineteen forty three, in Halifax, Virginia. Oh, it's
a city not too far from the North Carolina border. Okay.
(03:53):
He and his young sister, Edwina grew up in a
farming community and yes, it's heavily segregated time. George's father
was an alcoholic and abandoned the family when he was
just five years old, and his mother unfortunately passed away
from rheumatic fever a few years after that. Yeah. I
(04:13):
didn't know what rheumatic fever was, so I look it
up and it's an immune disease that attacks the heart, joints, skin,
blood vessels, and brain.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, right, what is the mom saying? Rheumatic rheumatic. She's
made it up right in this moment, right now. So
(04:41):
George recipes of his MoMA. George and his sister were
primarily raised by their grandmother. Thank god for a grandmother.
Grandmother's be stepping, they really do. George still managed to
graduate high school and get accepted to North Carolina A
and T in Greensboro. Go George, and if you, if
(05:03):
you like, heard that school before, but it sounds a
little bit familiar. It might be because the year before
George arrived, the famous sit ins happened. So I know
some of you guys have met messaged us and said like, hey,
I this the black history segments. You know I get
those all the time. We're trying to bring it back Christen.
We can't rely on Kristen. I'm going to talk to
mom about maybe picking it up, because it would be funny.
(05:24):
Here Mom tried to do really anything, read anything, say
tell a story, it would be fun Carol, I can
tell a story. And then yeah, we know, we know,
but yeah. So there were four black students that sat
in a white ally's counter and refused to leave after
they were refuse service. They say there till it closed.
(05:45):
And this started a huge wave of cit ins all
over the country and eventually obviously led to like desegregation
and all that type of stuff. So super dope, that's dope.
And this happened a year before George got there. Period. Okay,
so that was George's college for one year, because by
the first month of his sophomore year he dropped out.
What happened? College is for everyone, and it's expensive. It
(06:07):
is not back then still though some people just couldn't
afford it. He would later say about this time in
his life that quote, I was uncertain about everything, my life,
where I was going, all of that. So once he
left school, he said, he caught a bus to New Jersey.
He rented a room for four dollars a week. So
(06:29):
four dollars a week then is forty three hours a
week today. That's doing that thing. What was you adding, George?
A motel, hotel holiday, roach tale. It was a roachtail,
crazy cheap deal. And he just started building a life
out there. He got a job as a short ordered cook,
and he even started dating a girl that lives in Ashbury. Oh, okay,
(06:49):
Hashbury Park, isn't it. So he was on the up
and up until one day he was robbed. Oh oh oh.
He went to use one of the communal shower it's
at the place who's renting a room from, and left
his room door open while he was gone. George and George,
and by the time he came back, his whole wallet
(07:11):
was missing. And George was sick y'all because he needed
the dollar twenty five to catch the bus in his job,
which was multiple towns away. Now he can't even get
to work. He's gonna mind. And he asked everyone he
could to borrow the money. He asked his girlfriend, she
didn't have it. Her uncle he didn't have it. But
he said, quote, I knew this fellow named McGhee. I
(07:34):
went to his house and I asked him. And the
guy's name is Walter McGee, to be specific. And Walker
told George that although he didn't have the money, he
knew how they could get it. Oh, mickey, oh, mickey McGee.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Oh McGee, Oh, I thought, he said, So they go, Georgy, Georgio.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
According to George, McGee said, quote, there ain't gonna be
no problem. Just go in and put the gun in
the guy's face. More for dollars just to get on
the bus. So good, so good, so good.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
So on Black Friday in nineteen sixty two, nineteen year
old George Walter, a guy named Julio de dal Leone,
and a girl named Elizabeth Roswell hit the streets with
pantyhoses on their heads to hide their faces and rob
the motel in English Town, New Jersey. It took all them,
(09:38):
four people, you know, more. I guess more confidence comes
with more people, like now I gotta split the money
with you. We're about to do more there because the
group made off with two hundred dollars. Oh okay, dollar
today is over two thousand. It's a twenty one hundred dollars.
(10:00):
Split that with somebody right now, we'll be mad. But
since they had to split it four ways, they weren't
satisfied because they're greedy beast. He should have been because
all he needed was a dog twenty five exactly. And
so I don't know why he wasn't satisfied, you know what,
But we don't know. I don't know if this was
like the very next day or what. He may have
lost his job by this point. But once you see
(10:22):
how quickly you can make money, it's other than going
to go work for eight hours and make four dollars.
You know. That's why they said that fast money is addicting.
Yes it is. I won't be addicted, Mom, No, you
don't up just for a little while. Being gonna be
on these streets and on the pole. How are you
gonna do it? She had the only way you can
make fast Christians, the only way Mom like her little
scratch ob she needs to go to Vegas. Mom makes
(10:44):
some money in Vegas. I like this, this is about
scratch out. I just showed him that this morning. Day.
I'm we're gonna talk about illegal stuff like what George
is doing. Right, Definitely, don't even nothing, because when I
got the code for scratch offs, you thank you. I know,
idea you had a col you'ld be scratching off because
(11:08):
and everything else. Something's getting scratched, right, Well, something does
get scratched that has nothing to do with you. Guys.
Well can I puke? And then can we continue contain you?
So twenty one dollars that they had to split it.
They wasn't satisfied and decided to head to wall, New Jersey,
where the group robbed a gas station. Oh two out
(11:32):
of the four were carrying guns and pulled them out
when confronted the owner of the store, who was named
Walter Patterson, and he was actually a World War Two
veteran a period. Don't know want to play thank you
for your service, Walter. At some point during the robbery,
one of them shot Walter Patterson before they all led
the store with a measley seventy dollars seventy dollars was
(11:53):
still seven hundred and sixty dollars back then, but like
not not worth a man's like no. Although Walter was
rushed to the hospital, he died from his injuries two
days later. That's sad. Now you're yep, now they're killers.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I'm not sure how the police were like so quickly
able to identify and arrest George and his accomplices. But
the very same day, it was November twenty fifth, I
believe the group was arrested. Good. So this is what
homeboy was looking like on the day of his arrest. George,
you just needed that dollar twenty five. I turned into
another Greek Greek greed and peer pressure. It trying to
(12:32):
looks sad what you said for George, I said, George,
you need to be a leader and not a follow period.
Dollar twenty five man, that's that's rough. That's rough. I
mean he had enough money for the first hit to
pay up his room yep, for a week while the
job that was all the time night. Yeah, dang, George,
(12:54):
you dun't that's true. That made are just so quick?
Can they ruin your life? So it is sad. Ballistics
later determined that the fatal gun shot came from the
gun that Walter McGee was holding. Ah. But, as we've
seen a lot on this show, if someone dies while
(13:15):
you're committing another crime and you're getting charge, everybody going down.
Even if it's one of your friends that you committed
the crime, what they die, you're still getting charge of
their murder. Dany, And that's exactly who happened to these guys.
So Walter McGee, the shooter, was found guilty and sentenced
to life in prison in February of nineteen sixty three.
George was scared of facing the death penalty for his charges,
(13:39):
so he didn't really want to go to trial, and
he decided to plead no contest to his charges and
was sentenced to fifteen to thirty years in prison. Wow,
would George be afraid that the death penality when McGee
only got life because he was charged with murder. And
they're always like, they're not you guys are in the
same room when they're telling you, guys, hey, you're facing death.
(14:00):
So when he's in a room by himself being totally
facing death, he's like, what's then? No, don't even want
to take the risk, which I get because he got
way less than the other guy. And like I said,
I wrote down, it's a lot better than death, and
it's better than getting life as well. You know, so
he really dodged a bullet. Okay. Four years into his sentence,
(14:23):
the twenty four year old was transferred to Leesburg State Prison,
which was a maximum security prison farm. Don't like that name.
And when I say maximum security facility, it's definitely like
it's giving minimum y'all. Because the perimeter of this place
was not fenced in, so they relied heavily on watch towers,
(14:44):
attentive guards, and regular INMA accounts to make sure no
one was escaping. AKA. The most rudimentary that you can get. Yeah,
it's my high school because we get basically in high school,
you was getting counted every class that you went to,
which was like what hour, fifteen hours, thirty minutes later.
So yeah, they're keeping track of you that way, and
(15:04):
you can leave whenever. So years past, it's now nineteen seventy,
George is like twenty seven and twenty eight, and he's
tired of prison. On seventeen years later, he's tired of me.
He's right stuck out. Okay, So he starts conspiring with
a fellow inmate named George Brown, along with two other
(15:24):
men to escape to joyous Ueen. I can't blame them
if there's no gates. I feel like you're teasing me. Yeah,
like you you're telling me you want me to go.
Yeah until that snipe up top shooting the booty cool
as she run the way. Probably see mom please? So
(15:47):
on Wednesday, August nineteenth, nineteen seventy, the four men knew
that the hourly con would happen around ten pm like
it always does because these people are cataract though I
say it was completed. The men slipped past the very
unattentive guards, made their way to the warden's car that
(16:08):
they hot wired, and then escape. They stole stole the
Whartons car. They went out of stand this warden and
droll straight to Atlanta City. Wow, Georgie. So they did
all this before the eleven pm count started. They had
a full hour to escape. No one knew to look
(16:30):
for them. Are we how mad? Can you be?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Like?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
This is? I would say says that no one's ever
tried to escape other than just now right because they
were completely unprepared. Chris did didn't even notice they were
gone within an hour. At least it took them at
least an hour. Man, close your eyes, exhale, feel your
(16:54):
body relaxed, and let go of whatever you're carrying today.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Well I'm I'm letting go of the worry that I
wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I got them delivered free from one eight hundred Contacts.
Oh my gosh, they're so fast and breathe. Oh sorry,
I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they
gave me on my first order. Oh sorry, no mistay.
Visit one eight hundred contacts dot com today to save
on your first order contacts. Once in Atlantic City, George
(17:23):
Right and George Brown boarded a bus to New York
and the other two guys noticed how I didn't even
mention their names. They were almost immediately used to say, yeah,
they didn't know what were going on. There was a
tiptoe on them. They didn't. They just they didn't think
further than getting a yeah, yeah, Well they won't back,
(17:44):
don't y'all. This is another prison escape case. Back give
the New Orleans ten that we talked about and that
was actively going on. Yes, the only person that's still
free out of those ten is the one person's case
that we cover, which is Derek bro. He still free.
They got Maxie, Yeah, Maxie. They got Maxy good because
(18:07):
he was he was guilty. Maxi and his mom came
out and they were like talking shot. His mom was like,
he ain't guilty. He ran, so it was just a lie.
He's like he was. Maxio posted a video like saying
anything because this before and now listen before insted video
(18:31):
wasn't live. I didn't do what just stand that. I think.
I'm it's it. But you ran, dude, you escaped. I know,
like when you escape it doesn't look great, but yeah,
it is what it is. He's back in there and
Derek is still out. So if you haven't listened to
episode one eighty eight yet, you definitely should. Yeah, ain't sorry,
(18:51):
not on Maxie can't get his name. Half your mama
was mam the she was I was scared. I ain't scared. No,
So George and the other George linked up with a
man named Melvin McNair who was also on the run,
(19:14):
but for different reasons. He had left the army, so
he was a deserter, and he was not like a cap.
The army will literally do you in the booty. Understand
that they will, but that's what means they will screw you. Oh.
So the two Georgians stayed with Melvin and his wife
(19:37):
for a while. Somehow George had managed to keep a
girlfriend through all this. I don't know if he kept her,
got her after he was released, whatever, but her name
is Joyce Brown, and she was helping him stay out
of prison too.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
M M.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
George quickly learned that living life actively on Theron was
just not for him. Okay you think, And honestly the
others felt the same, Like they're like bross. So they
started planning their next escape, oh from escape from from America.
Have being hunted by the US authority. You can't sleep
(20:12):
at night if you know the US is tracking you,
Oh for sure. That's usually when they tracked you by night,
when you sleep. La looked tired on that picture. Well
this is right, actor, this is his when you got
arrested after the murder. So listen to this. George Wright,
his girlfriend, Joyce, her daughter, George Brown, Melvin McNair, his wife,
(20:32):
and their two children all booked seats on a flight
to Miami from Detroit on July thirty first, nineteen seventy two.
Of course under fake names. But like, h that's a
lot of people to be trying to ray baby already.
They got a lot of money. How much was an
airplane ticket back then? Probably seven dollars twenty two dollars. Wow,
(20:55):
So this is nineteen seventy two, we know anyone and
everyone could get on a plane at this at this point,
no issue, and anything and everything could have gotten on
the plane, no issue. So two hours into the Delta
Airline flight eight forty one, Reverend Larry Darnell Burgess pulled
out a gun from a Bible with the pages cut
(21:15):
out and took a flight attendant hostage. Oh my god,
so Larry aka George Right, okay, I got okay, put
that together. It's like I'm the shock of the century.
He was dressed like a pastor and all gonna use
(21:36):
the Bible. So do your name is Larry? Yeah, Larry
was the preacher. Yeah, with the gun in the hut,
in the bible in the bag, you got okay, imagination,
you need to go to school. He took the flight
attend the hostage, and then demanded to speak to the
pilot today. Where to get to it?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Instead of keeping a little profile, the other adult fugitives
join in the gun pulling and essentially hijack the plane.
Oh my god, y're trying to get out the country.
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Well?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
This is still like nineteen seventies. What's that boy name?
DWB di Bols? No, not him, the guy that hijacked
that plane and disappeared. What's his name? All that black
man that we still can't find to this day. He's
not black? Oh I thought he's black. No, anyway, what
movie they've been watching to get all this? I'm trying
to tell you, I can't remember his name. We've talked
(22:32):
about him so many times on the show. I just
can't remember his name. But you know what I'm talking. Yes,
the guy was really famous for hijacking that plane and
then disappearing. Clearly so. The hijackers ordered that the plane
and land in Miami as scheduled, But if they wanted
all the passenger passengers on board to arrive safely, their
demands would have to be met. And there were eighty
(22:52):
six people on this plane, men, women, children, all of them,
and these fugitives were in like a very desperate situation,
so it was gary. The authorities were taking them very seriously.
They demanded one million dollars to be delivered to the
plane by a man in a skin tight bathing suit
basically a speedo. All why, I'm telling they wanted to
(23:20):
make sure he wasn't carrying something. They wanted to make
sure he was completely They've done something before, bringamated the
whole reason.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
And that.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Everything, and we gotten him downs do.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
So what's Once the plane landed in Miami, the FBI
was waiting and reportedly sent an agent in Espeedo to
the plane with a suit kate of cash.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
The suitcase of cash. Now they have a picture. I
don't know where the picture is. I'm gonna search after
we get out of the episode and hopefully find it
and make it. Want everybody was walking around like basically naked. No, no,
(24:16):
I'm just saying, like they wanted to kill him. He
died half naked, poor thing. What happened? That's crazy? You know,
I told you was a crazy kid. So one of
the crew members on the plane were forced to bring
the cash onto the plane after like the guy exchanged
it with him. And after George had the cash in
his hand, he kept his word and released all those
passengers except the pilot. Yeah, I really, I'm just going
(24:41):
with you and the crew. That was his last bargaining ship.
But I guess if you could get them back up
in the airy because now they had to fly him
and his friends to Algeria, which is the country in
North Africa. So you can tell George, just like I
can do anything I want my mind to win, nothing
is impossible. And he had a plan. I mean they
(25:03):
plan this, the plans Dan. This must have happened while
they was locked up. They were thinking about it for
them seven years. Oh yeah, they were. So he's about
to get really cocky and do some cocky stuff. The
pilot tells them, Hey, like, not only do I did
not know how to fly internationally, never been trained for it,
(25:23):
but we don't even have enough fuel for the plane
to make it there. That right. So what I was
reading about all this, I'm like, they didn't have from
Miami to Boston that flight for the FBI to think
of a way to like unarm these people or make
sure they don't leave the country. It is nineteen seventy two,
so they weren't working with as much. But dang, you
let them go to Boston refuel and then get back
(25:46):
up in the airs because they actually let them do it. Yes,
So what I would have done was why they was
on the ground getting refueled in Boston. I would have
had me a couple of ages to go up the
kobooths of that complaint the airplane and mine is a
(26:11):
terrible thing. The way go up there in the comptent.
Give me some gun. Uh lo the h is up
there and overtook the plank here like through the little
hatch where they put the lugage. Yeah, there were so
many possibilities. That was the best one. But yeah, after
they refueled and picked up their new buddy, the international pilot,
(26:35):
correct George, the hijackers and their three children were off
to Algeria. Wow. I rather they smoked weed the entire life. Wow.
They had it once. They led it in Algiers, which
is a city in Algeria. It's like they have the
favorite of the lord. Y'all. I'm not even lying. Because
thanks of the Socialist government at the time, George Wright
(26:57):
and the rest of this group were able to gain
political asylum. They must have not licked fro the United States.
They all have to go to a place that doesn't
feel like they need answer to the United States and
isn't kissing their behind and they're not going to send
you back. WHOA, my goodness. Maybe they just msay because
they were black and there's the white people tied them
(27:19):
down well before they left the States. They did end
up joining. I read that they joined like the Black
Black Federalists something mm hmmm, something that was like similar
to the Black Panther partly technic, and that's kind of
how they were able to create a network of people
being able to help them get to where they needed
(27:39):
to be. And they had a lot, and they had
that so they didn't get a million of the city.
They did bring the millions. So when they got there
and they linked up with an expat named Eldridge Cleaver
who was also a Black Panther leader, and Eldri so
this is Eldridge, Okay, the Lilies of Mine right, And
(28:00):
Eldridge himself had been granted asylum after escaping from the
US in nineteen sixty eight. Oh my god, this is crazy. Also,
it is that time Black Panther all the civil rights
stuff people was going to Africa. I read that he
was convicted of burglary, assault, rape, an attempted murder. Okay, well, look, Eldrick,
(28:23):
I don't like that ripe and stuff. Right. Yeah, he
spent some time in San Quentin, which is the worst
prison ever. Yeah, and he escaped police custody in nineteen
sixty eight after leading an ambush against Oakland police officers,
and he was injured in the ambush and two officers
were wounded as well. This story is like a whole
(28:44):
other episode. Sure it is look at but yeah, so
let's look at him a little bit more. Oh garing
that Terence light Terrence.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
How we doing?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
He got the yeah brother? Yeah. And then this is
him and his girl at the time. She's beautiful. They
actually had a baby in this picture baby picture, and
they're posing in front of his life at Lee trial.
Rich Cleaver Leroy Elergrich Clever child. Wow, she's beautiful. He's gorgeous.

(30:45):
offered asylum, but there was a catch that one million
dollars was not going with them. Yeah, and it was
seized of course by the Algerian government, and then the
Algerian government returned it to the US, along with the
plane and the fight crew. So they were very fair,
I'll keep your naggas and give your money back. That's
(31:06):
a Friday help yep. So they basically had nothing, and
with nothing, they tried to rebuild and had to stay
with eldridd and Eldridge and his group for a while,
but the arrangement didn't last long because they didn't agree
with Eldridge's message and like what he was ultimately trying
to do. You know, we all want equality. Some people
(31:27):
just want to go about a different way.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
So George and the original hijackers traveled to Paris to
get away and attempted to start over again. They found
money somewhere because the last time I checked, Paris and
Nigeria wasn't that close to Well, they have a network
where they have people that are helping them. Okay, so
they have a little.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
Bit of help and some mindy people ain't doing it
for free.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
It's now nineteen seventy six, and in came the worst
stroke of padla Okay, George Brown, Joyce Brown, the McNair's
and all their children were all taken into custody when
somehow it was discovered that they were carrying fake passports.
Stop traveling, sit down, Then I hijack. Then I had guns.
(32:13):
They they are millions and it's your fake passport, and
and got your car in a whole other country and
a whole other So with this came the uncovering of
their real identities, which led to all of the adults
being tried for the plane hijacking in a French court.
Luckily for them, they can do this. Oh luckily, Yeah,
(32:34):
like your lawyers are, like, you know, you should be
they should be tried here in the French court because
they won't get as fair of a trial in the
US court. Apparently the French court agreed and they were
each handed a three year prison sentence. Now the US
government was not happy about this, but they couldn't do
anything bang, which is beautiful to hear sometimes because you
(32:56):
were saying nothing so what did they say it in French? Yeah?
In Paris? Okay, Okay, so everyone was caught except George.
How did George get away? I wonder how that happened?
So I read that he said that he broke himself
off from the rest of the group, like right before
(33:17):
the arrest happened, because he just felt like it was
easier for him to elude and like stay out of
public eye by himself, which is true. You're traveling with
seven people, Yeah, but some of them his kids, so
you know, none of them are his kids. He just
left the woman that gave up everything to be with him,
just like a man. She's so dumb, like you. You
(33:41):
never gave up everything for a man that has nothing,
are you? Okay? So yeah, it's not looking good for
any of them. Honestly, they're in jew As we know.
Who knows where the kids are. I didn't find anything
about that because that's the really sad part. And while
everyone else is serving their time, George is completely onto
the next. Yeah, he ain't dying, he doesn't care. No,
(34:04):
he ain't got the kids, no whaddy because that means
he's gonna drug is exactly They're good. They put there
was in foster care in their different countries and learn
they did their three years right and they came out
(34:25):
either way. While everyone was serving their time, thirty three
year old George made his way to France, but ultimately
landed in Portugal. And this is when he changed his
name to Jose Luis Jorge dos Santos and he really planted.
He really did that, Josie. He's sung it through the school,
(34:45):
but he's one is old. Oh well, honestly, it seems
like he knows he knows the right people to like,
the right type of groups of people to go to,
and he knows the right women like he is, find
the right women that are gonna risk their whole life
to make sure he's okay. So het another woman he's
in order to get there okay. He met a woman
(35:06):
named Rosario and he wanted to marry her, but he
was still stressed out about like possibly being arrested and
sent back to the US. So he went to the
nation of Guinea Bissale. I don't know if I'm pronouncing
it right, And at the time they were known to
grants his citizenship to expats. Expats stands for expatriots. The
vice president of Guinea Bissle was so impressed by George
(35:29):
that not only did he offer him asylum and citizenship,
but he also offered to help him falsify his identity better.
So like he knows this man is not Hoe or
Jose or whoever he's trying to be black, that he
black from anywhere you show again because be speaking in languages.
(35:51):
So he helped him. He provided him with proper paperwork
under the name Hoorge or Jose whichever, I don't know
which one was the first. And finally George didn't have
to run anymore. Wow. Wow. Rosario ended up moving to
Guinea Bissau to be with George. The couple got married
in nineteen ninety and ended up having two children together,
one in nineteen eighty six and then one in nineteen
(36:12):
ninety one. This is George. George is the whole life.
O Holy year life. Look at the list George, that's
in his life. Wow, Rosaru, Ebony and Ivory, I'm playing
that's his rider child. Wow. George has lived like three
different lives, already lived in three different countries and has
(36:34):
been on the run for at least what fifteen twenty
years at this point? Wow and he actually made it
and he's making it. Wow, George. He worked from nineteen
eighty nine to nineteen ninety three as a logistics coordinator.
I mean he liskts in talented him, like hey, man
didn't have any type of really formal education. He had
(36:54):
one year of college and he's somebody's logistics coordinator in
the country. Is never he didn't grow up in Like
how like the fact that you were able to hijack
a plane and go to a whole nother country and
be okay after that and then become a white collar
corporate man and have family. That's why America's not the
only place you can. He was bold enough to not
(37:20):
even stay with Leroy in them because he didn't believe
in what they was doing. Leroy Leroy, Eldridge Cleaver. Oh,
and I'm glad he didn't. And he also left all
those other dead weights and let them go to prison
because you and we, all eight of us, stay together,
(37:40):
we're getting caught. He's very smart. All he used to
do is read one book or do what d. W. E.
Bull is whatever his name is. He had seven years
also to plan this. He probably planned it from beginning
to end. Who knows. Like he picked up Joyce and
he picked up the other guy.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
So I don't know if he planned from that beginning
that they would have to leave the country together and
everything like that. But once they left the country and
he saw how it was like getting sticky and how
hard it is to move with so many people, he
was like so preservation.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
He was just he was just.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Good at what he did. He wasn't a dummy. That's
no shell, that's SHELFI. You know, he has some smarts
about them, you know, hey kudos, like, yeah, he made
it terrible. He made four that would have been his
whole life. Eventually, he and his family moved back to Portugalo,
and he and his family lived their best lives. He
(38:33):
opened up a fried chicken Restaurantckey Yeah Town an American dream,
and be out of town Georgia literally until oh, Monday,
September twenty sixth, twenty eleven, he was arrested after spending
forty one years on the rent. Well, you lived a
(38:53):
good life time, he said, down anyone she was resting him. Rosario,
his wife, said that although she knew about his jail escape,
she had no idea her husband had been convicted of
murder and knew nothing about the plane hijacking, and you did.
I mean most men probably didn't tell her everything. Yeah,
you know that's a deep secret. You don't trust many
(39:15):
people with that because she could have snitched on him
at any time, and for the sake of her happiness,
he probably didn't want to tell her. Her full name
is Marian Doo Rosario Valente. And she said she Loki
didn't even believe the mom I'm not doing it and
she had it so well, and she said she low
KEI didn't even believe the Joie break story. She thought
(39:35):
he was just like trying to put on Well, it
does sound crazy. He does look at her though, she
she got some black pink and yeah, and never turned
by m M. She said her adult children were completely
heartbroken by their father's arrest and said that she didn't
know him to be anything other than a loyal and
(39:56):
loving father and husband. George is now sixty eight years
old at this point, like in these pictures, he's sixty
eight and a bit of it. He's been a citizen
of Guinea Bissau since the late eighties. Like why is
he being arrested at this point? Well, it's because the
FBI was trying to reinvigorate the search and capture of fugitives,
(40:17):
kind of like how Trump thinks he's doing something by
like stopping and frisking people in DC for dumb stuff.
They were like, okay, well, let's go, you know, chase
down these people. And being that George was still in
contact with his family from back home, namely his sister Edwina,
they were able to track him to Portugal because he
was still calling her from freaking French. Really thought he
(40:38):
had made it. Yeah, he thought he got he got off.
He had asylum in multiple countries, remember, because he hadn't
go to al Jeria first day gave him political asylum,
then Guinea Bissal they gave him a silent citizenship. Then
he goes to Portugal and he gets his citizenship under
the fake name. He's doing great. So, like we mentioned
in the intro, once he was caught, he eventually admitted
(40:59):
who he really was. But now the US government had
to try to get him expedited, extradited. They wanted him
to return to the US and serve out his remaining
twenty two years for the murder of Walter Pass. Catch
Me if you can't, right, uncle saying but in Portugalian. No,
(41:20):
that's how he's in portug No, okay, I like Portugolian.
But the Portuguese government said that at this point the
almost seven year old was no threat to the Portuguese citizens.
He had been a citizen himself for over twenty years.
So he's not going anywhere anyway. This is my Negro.
(41:46):
Then Negro safe over here. Yeah, he's a productive citizen. Yeah,
he really does. A member of society. Look a, there's me.
So what does the charges waiting for him in the US?
As long as he doesn't break the law and never
leaves Portugal. George Wright, who is now almost know he
(42:06):
is eighty two years old and according to records, still living.
He'll be a free man. Say less fame, say that,
I ain't want to come back to the U United
States anyway, and we're gonna get your little passport going.
And he didn't even kill nobody. Hey, run on, George,
(42:26):
and from what we can see, he hasn't committed more crimes. Yeah,
he's a model Susan. He didn't even want to be
in that life. Somebody stole his down twenty five. Yeah,
but he second round. It's true. He made a terrible,
terrible mistake that was going to destroy his life. And
he was like, but god, yeah about them seven years?
(42:49):
Yes he he't right. Wait, man, he served seven years.
It's enough. You know, I didn't kill nobody. I mean here,
left hand. Let me get up out of here. Because
justice ain't justice. Justice ain't justice sing not at all.
I honestly think one of the reasons George was able
(43:09):
to elude US authorities like for so long is because of,
like we said, the community of expats that he was
able to find. Yeah, like, once you just leave somewhere
people you don't have to tell them why you left.
They're just like, oh, he's an American and he doesn't
know what it's like to be out here. Let's help them.
And he got really lucky with a lot of that.
They were helping him, like find food, communicate the language,
(43:30):
you know, fine place to live, all that. I love it.
And back then it was really segregated. So it probably
helped that he, like what you're saying, trying to get
out of the United States with America because he went
over the seas and was trauma a lot. Like people
really were like we receive you yeah all over yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.
(43:51):
He's well versed. He kind of what's happening now, Like
people are incentivizing us to leave the United States, and
you don't have to scentify me too much. No, I
want to go. Yeah, you're gonna go. Mom, come with us,
Let me go, let me go. There's documentary about the
plane hijacket that was made in twenty eleven called Nobody
(44:12):
Knows My Name, and it was made the same year
George was arrested in Portugal, which I think is kind
of funny because he's featured in the documentary, so I
think they're like, oh, we found you, you know, like
you're not hiding that well anymore. You're on camera. There
was also a documentary made called Melvin and Jean, An
American Story. It's about Melvin and his wife. What are
(44:34):
their names, the McLean's, the McNair's, the McNair. There you go, boo,
I'm trying. Apparently, after their stint in prison, they changed
their lives completely and they stayed in France and they
worked at an orphanage. So I didn't find out too
much about the other accomplices, like what their sentences were
they took plea deals and stuff like that. But I
(44:55):
really want to I want to know where the heck
did George Brown end up? Where did Joyce Brown? When
I'm cheering it, you know some of the keys. Well,
my synopsisis is the only real crook was McGee. He
shot the person. Yeah, and it was it's gonna go smooth, George,
(45:15):
know you gotta do this? Yeah, right, band criminal? Yeah,
he was the murderer.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
He was.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
He made the ultimate decision that we're on all of
their lives shoot that person. Even if they got caught
for the robbery that you robberies, they probably would have
served like four years, you know, each at most at most,
So Dan you Walton McGee, Well, he's served, he's done.
He didn't escape, George, George ain't. George made his decisions
(45:46):
and then he made some more. Yeah, living his best
life in Europe. But yeah, what turn the where is it?
I think these are pictures that were taken when he
was interviewed for the the show. Yes, so sophisticated. Yeah,
so that's our case for this week, y'all. What cool
(46:11):
it was? But it was the ride, yeah, right, all right?
Enjoying was doing a lot, Johnny said, and maybe let
me go shooting me go, that's what he said. If
you can't, they let him go. I like it, Jos,
(46:38):
like it your life in your hands. Literally, he literally
did that. Served my time. Yeah, I'm guiltful, man, I
can do this. Let me get out. He didn't do
it again, Like that's the great part about it. Yeah,
you know there's some dumb stuff here, and then go
and continue to be if he's crap because that's not
what he wanted. No, so good for him. Honestly, he was.
(47:00):
He got caught up in a very crappy situation. But
I think the situations like these make you feel like, Okay,
the Lord ultimately makes the decisions you you feel that
in this case, it's like, I don't think you deserved
to spend fifteen thirty years in jail. I just don't.
I didn't, and clearly he didn't either, So I notice,
I don't know if he was broken as a joke,
(47:20):
like you said, when he went to Algeria and them,
he didn't have a lot. They took that one million
dollars and he still didn't have to go steal and
do all this stuff that he had to do. In America.
I should really tell you something. Yep, yep tells you
a lot if you pay attention. So yeah, I love
you guys so much. Let us know what you got.
