Wanted

Born in 1968, the daughter of a former pilot who became a Guernsey newspaper editor, Annie won a scholarship to a private school and would go on to study at Britain's elite Cambridge University.

In 1990, Annie sat a Foreign Office examination in hopes of becoming a diplomat but instead would receive a rather obscure letter suggesting there might be other careers that would suit her better and that was the start of her recruitment into the infamous MI5, Britain's secret service. She was posted to their counter-subversion department, officially known as 'F2' and almost from day 1 found herself uncomfortable with what was happening behind the scenes. In 1996, she resigned from MI5 in order to help her then partner and MI5 officer David Shayler reveal a series of alleged crimes committed by the agency.

In doing so they had broken the official secrets act, a crime punishable by imprisonment, David and Annie we're now Wanted and being hunted by their former employer.

David McMillan has lead a life that is almost unbelievable, its like something out of a Hollywood crime thriller.

Born in the UK to Australian parents David would travel back and forth between the two countries a few times until at the age of 10 his parents divorced and he, his sister and mother made the permanent move to Melbourne.

David was always different as a kid, he was expelled from school for trying to make a batch of LSD, a sign of things to come?

At eighteen David got a job at the city cinema and by chance would meet some retired safe crackers, safe crackers who were looking to invest their money in the drug business. With no one that could source it for them David jumped in head first and thus changing the course of his entire life.

David made millions of dollars, before an Australian task force swooped and he would spend 10 years in maximum security prison in Victoria. Once he was out he decided he was done with Australia and left for the UK, with a stop off in Thailand, a decision that would see him arrested again and facing the death penalty.

Just two weeks before he was to be killed by firing squad David did something that no western has ever achieved, he escaped.

Christopher Douglas Emms is wanted for allegedly conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Specifically, conspiring to violate United States sanctions on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (“DPRK” or “North Korea”) by working with an American citizen to illegally provide cryptocurrency and blockchain technology services to the DP, Its quite the mouthful.

Chris is a British citizen who, due to his status of being Wanted, now calls Moscow home. He and I spoke via Zoom about the charges brough against and just how on earth he came to be accused of helping North Korea avoid global sanctions. He says this is a situation that has been completely blown out of proportion.

None the less he has had his entire life turned upside down over the last few years, not only can he not return home to the UK for fear of extradition to the United States but he also had all of his UK accounts frozen and has never been able to recoup his money.

This is the story of Christopher Emms.

Once one of America's most wanted men, Wild Bill, as he's been called by authorities, was arrested as he attempted to make his way into Nicaragua via Costa Rica on July 26, 2010.

Bill was accused of the murders of 5 people, murders that he would later confess to. Bill says he worked in Panama as a gun for hire, a hitman, for a cartel of sorts. He says he was driven by greed and a severe lack of any morals.

Bill says he's not the man he once was, he does not speak of the murders that he has committed or even so much as mention their names, he says he is haunted by his crimes and he focuses on doing good in the world in which he now finds himself.

Once arrested and convicted he was sentenced to over 40 years inside a Panamanian prison where he remains today. While incarcerated Bill has become the prisons Chaplin and holds regular services for the other incarcerated men. He's also written a book about his experiences inside one of the worlds worst and most violent prisons, the link to which is below. Not only has he written a book but he also does a daily audio diary which he posts on youtube and has a Facebook page 'Friends of Brother Bill' that he uses to stay in touch with people on the outside.

But how did Bill become a killer, what happened in his life that would send him down this path? Bill tells me his story from his prison cell in Panama.

Welcome back to Wanted!

In todays episode I sit down with a man our regular listeners of One Minute Remaining will be all too familiar with. Michael Leonard is a defence attorney from Chicago Illinois. He's an attorney with decades of trial experience and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the US legal system.

He often guides us through the mine field that is the cases we discuss on OMR so of course when it came to the bizarre case of the Tiktok fugitive I just had to get him on to offer his professional opinion on this case.

Welcome to wanted!

In this show I speak with men and women from around the world who have been or who currently are wanted by authorities and it all started with this man Chad Hower.

This is part three of the TikTok fugitive.

I was alerted to Chad's story when I was tagged in his TikTok, the TikTok fugitive. I was intrigued by his story and just had to know more, so after getting InTouch we arranged to sit down for an interview.

Chad is a former high level Microsoft employee and a WANTED man, wanted by the FBI for apparent international kidnapping. He's accused of kidnapping his son and taking him overseas, this was a custody battle like no other. Chad and his former wife separated in early 2000's and so began a lengthy and strained legal battle that would go on for years, until eventually things would take an incredible turn. So out of control would it become that in 2009 Chad would be arrested in Bulgaria by agents acting on an Interpol red noticed sparked by the FBI and placed in a Bulgarian prison where he would have to fight against a US extradition order.

Millions of dollars and countless government resources would be put into trying to get Chad back in to the Us, three failed extraditions and an apparent kidnap attempt but why?

Chad's son, now 27, has always said he was never kidnapped, in fact he's been on many TV shows, as an adult to explain as much, yet Chad is STILL wanted.

In this show Jack Laurence (Host and creator of the award winning crime podcast One Minute Remaining) sits down with men and women from around the world have been or who currently are 'Wanted' by authorities.

It all started many months ago when Jack was tagged in a video online, a video of a man claiming to be wanted by the FBI. After a bit of back and forth and some concern as to just what he was getting himself into Jack sat down with this fugitive and the rest as they say is history.

From claims of international kidnapping, drug cartels, prison escapes, North Korean sanction dodging and even leaked government secrets the world of the wanted is nothing short of wild.
