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.

135. Arnold Nash and his final escape

Arnold Nash was a “career criminal.” He was also a career escape artist from the Maine State Prison System. And the funny thing was, he was escaping because he wanted to stay incarcerated. His crimes escalated as his need to be in prison grew, until someone lost a life. Rebecca tells the story.

We also update Episode 24, finally, “the Fitbit murder.” And Maureen gives NNW treatment to the Hulu doc “My Old School.”
