Show Notes

A normal grocery run turned into a nightmare when an AWOL Navy SEAL fugitive forced him into a car at gunpoint. For hours, he was missing while his family feared the worst, law enforcement and the FBI were piecing the case together, and the man holding him hostage was already wanted for violent crimes.

But the part that makes this story unforgettable did not come out until the trial. The fugitive looked for him, came close enough to touch him, and somehow still did not see him.

This is one of the wildest true testimony stories we’ve ever heard on the Hayden Alabama Podcast. This episode also includes Southern outdoor stories, Gulf Coast fishing, hurricane survival, strange lights offshore, gator hunting, and real stories from Alabama men who have lived through more than a few close calls.
