Christopher Potts & David Burgert

In this episode, we dive into two of the most dramatic fugitive chases in America. The first case is Christopher Potts, a wealthy young man who drove drunk and caused a fatal crash on Interstate 275 in 2012, killing his childhood friend William Angel before fleeing to Spain. Unique details—such as how Potts managed to remove his electronic monitoring bracelet during a doctor’s visit, and his arrest at a bus station in Almería by Interpol—make this case a real study of loopholes in the legal system.
The second case is David Burgert, a former member of the Project Seven militia who engaged in a shootout with Montana police in 2011 before disappearing into the wilderness. Discoveries of stockpiled food, clothing, and illegal weapons led investigators to believe that Burgert may still be alive, hiding, or connected to other extremist groups.
In this episode, you’ll learn how U.S. law treats fatal DUI cases compared to armed shootouts, how fugitives like Potts can evade custody temporarily, and the survivalist techniques that allowed Burgert to remain uncaught for years. You’ll also understand the latent dangers of “ticking-time-bomb” alcoholics on the road, as well as the threats posed by armed domestic militia groups—often far more prepared, disciplined, and difficult to track.
