ICYMI: Arnold Nash and his final escape

Arnold Nash kept ending up in Maine State Prison. Every time he did, he escaped. The first escape lasted 41 days and resulted in a wild and wooly central Maine manhunt. The second time, things turned deadly. Believe it or not, there was also a third time.

In case you missed it, we’re reposting Episode 135, the story of Maine three-time prison escapee Arnold Nash. For a map of his epic 1981 escape and more, check out our More Stuff page.

Don’t worry! We still have a new episode coming up right on schedule in a few days.

ICYMI: Brian Walshe’s many victims

In case you missed it, from January 2023: Brian Walshe’s many victims.

Brian Walshe was found guilty on Dec. 15, 2025, of murdering his wife, Ana Walshe, and dismemembering her body. As promised, we’ll have an episode on it in January. But if you want the full background on Brian Walshe, check out this episode from January 2023 that looks at his long history of fraud, including ripping off his father — twice! It’s not just about the Warhols.

We also have a special holiday issue coming later this week, and Part 2 of The Case That Changed Crime Investigation History coming up in the next couple of weeks.
