Episode Details

Nicholas Rossi, the convicted rapist who faked his death and vanished to Scotland, has died in a U.S. hospital after stopping treatment for serious health issues. His dramatic escape began when he was arrested in Glasgow in December 2021 during a COVID hospitalization, after medical staff recognized his tattoos from an Interpol alert. He’d claimed to be an Irishman named Arthur Knight. Convicted in 2008 for two brutal sexual assaults — one resulting in a life sentence — Rossi had fled the U.S. before evidence retested in 2018 confirmed his guilt. Authorities tracked him across Europe, finally extraditing him back to Utah in January 2024. In court last October, he admitted his identity and claimed he fled due to death threats, planning to appeal his convictions.
