This episode follows the extraordinary and unsettling life of Paul Stavenjord, who first made headlines in 1971 after fleeing into the mountains of Seward following Alaska’s largest bank robbery. For more than two decades, Stavenjord appeared to rebuild his life, working on the railroad, raising a family, and carving out a quiet existence in the Alaskan frontier. But in 1997, he vanished once again—this time after the murders of his neighbors, Rick Beery and Debbie Rehor. Through the robbery, the manhunt, the quiet years, and the eventual homicide case, this story traces how a fugitive’s past and present collided in the remote landscapes of Alaska. It’s a rare look at a decades-long cycle of escape, reinvention, and violence.
