Escaping Prison Through a Skylight: Kyle Quilausing

Once dubbed Hawaii’s most wanted criminal, Kyle Quilausing was a golf prodigy by age 10, competing on the PGA World Tours alongside Tiger Woods. He had a full ride to America’s most prestigious colleges.

But one split-second decision changed the course of his life.

Addiction. Crime. A high-profile prison escape.

Then, three years alone in solitary confinement. No human contact. No conversation. Just silence.

This isn’t my normal style of interview. Kyle has a story to tell the world- a raw, unfiltered account of how fast life can unravel when drugs take over.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses themes of substance abuse and violence.
