Episode Details

The legend of Claude Dallas; was he an old west outlaw living in modern times, or a coldblooded killer? In 1981, Claude Dallas shot and killed two state game wardens in the remote Owyhees of southwestern Idaho. He eluded capture for over fifteen months, was caught and sentenced, escaped from prison, and was recaptured again. Joining me to tell the story is my friend and frequent guest on the show, Greg Jones. As a member of the Owyhee community, Greg remembers following the story and trial. He didn't know Claude or the victims personally, but he knows several people who did that shared their insight with Greg over the years. The story of Claude Dallas is both tragic and fascinating. Only one person alive today knows what truly happened, and that's Claude himself.
