By 2017, Eric C. Conn’s empire was collapsing. Facing a prison sentence for bribery and fraud, he cut off his ankle monitor and vanished — kicking off one of the most audacious escapes in Kentucky history. From cryptically emailing a reporter, to taunting the FBI, to hiding out in a Honduran beach town, Conn lived as a fugitive until a Pizza Hut dinner finally brought him down.

In the third episode of The Eric C. Conn Case, hosts Marcus Roland and Emily Steele tell the story of Conn on the run — his ego, his theatrics, and the manhunt that ended with a bowl of soup.
