In this episode, I tell the unbelievable true story of Kari Swenson’s 1984 kidnapping: how a routine training session turned into weeks of captivity in the wilderness, the bizarre ideology behind her captors’ plan, and the physical and mental endurance that helped Kari survive the unimaginable.

This isn’t just a story about crime—it’s a story about resilience, the danger of obsession, and how being strong didn’t just mean being fast or fit… it meant staying alive.

Buford Pusser’s story sounds like it was ripped straight out of a movie—because it was. Known for carrying a giant stick and taking on the Dixie Mafia, he became a legend of small-town justice.
