Crimemas Case 02 – The Lone Ranger: Unmasked on Christmas Eve

In Crimemas Case 02 – The Lone Ranger: Unmasked on Christmas Eve, Todd Hiles and Stewart Fillmore turn to a quieter kind of crime—one that struck not through violence, but through symbolism, timing, and audacity.

On Christmas Eve, 1986, in a Houston airport filled with travelers and holiday expectation, something vanished. Not just property—but an identity. What was taken belonged to a man who had spent a lifetime representing justice, heroism, and the triumph of good over evil.

The theft was swift. The setting was public. And the target was unmistakable. To steal from a hero on Christmas Eve wasn’t just a crime—it was a breach of something cultural, almost sacred.

As questions lingered and the loss rippled outward, the incident revealed how even icons are vulnerable, and how myth can be stripped away in the most ordinary places.

With measured insight and a darker holiday lens, Back in Crime explores a case where the mask came off—not by choice, but by circumstance—and where Christmas Eve became the stage for an unexpected unmasking.
