Episode Details

Billy Dean Anderson was born in Fentress County, Tennessee, and, by all accounts, lived a normal law-abiding life as he grew up, even becoming a volunteer preacher in his church.

Then it all went horribly wrong.

He and some other men held up a theater in Jamestown, beginning a life of crime in two states. He eventually made the FBI most wanted list.

This is his story.
