And so police get a warrant to search Wallace's home and they bust in and they raid the place and they find a list of names of men who have already been executed at Wallace's orders.
So at this point, Wallace knows he's fucked.
And so he decides to just flee and go on the run.
And he ends up hiding out in some places in the countryside and also in a farmhouse near the jungle.
But only four days later, police find him and bam, they arrest him.
And I don't have a mugshot of him, but here is a picture of him in real life.
And unfortunately, he never actually makes it to trial because he dies in jail of liver failure before he can be tried and sentenced.
So this guy reports a co-worker for stealing and then they end up killing him over it.
Now this story starts with this guy, Keith.
And Keith is around 41 when all this begins and he's living in Wisconsin.
Now Keith, he's just a total jerk.
Like he works at the local paper mill and he's known around work as a dude you don't want to mess with because he can get pretty violent.
Bro, he's very much a thug.
And one day in 1992, he comes up with a very stupid idea.
He plans to steal about 10 to 15 feet of electric cable from his job at the mill.
And this cable is expensive.
And he would probably get away with this theft, except that this guy finds out about the plan, Tom.
Tom also works at the mill, and he's a really nice guy and a hard worker.
Now, Tom could just keep his mouth shut about this potential upcoming theft, but he's not that kind of guy.
While most of the workers there enjoy hitting the strip club and grabbing a drink after work, Tom, he's not really into all that stuff, so he's somewhat of an outsider there at the mill.
