This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


This is the conclusion of our three-part edition featuring notorious bank robber and escape artist, John Killick.


Today, we discuss John's last great escape—the 1999 prison break from Silverwater, where he was spirited away from the exercise yard in a helicopter hijacked by his girlfriend, Lucy.
