Full Episode
You know, by the time I was six, my father went to prison for kidnapping and sexual assault on a prostitute. My mom met him when he was out on bail for capital murder in 1980. She went to the cops and said, I robbed her. I told the cops, yeah, I took the money out of her pocket, but that's because she owed me $200 and wasn't trying to give it to me. Turns out that's confession for robbery.
They let probably me and 20 of my friends out of prison. that summer and by the end of that summer, every single onus was back in jail with a new charge or wanted by someone. I'm leaving the bank with the money and I'm walking down the sidewalk past the other stores and I get in the getaway car and now we drive away. We got to get to 93 South. We got to get going South and going to Massachusetts.
They can't cross state lines. I know this because I had just watched the movie Public Enemies, which became my favorite movie of all time with Johnny Depp, where they couldn't cross state lines back then. About this big, right? And I tucked it in between my butt cheeks. He's soaking wet, and he just has this look of devastation on his face. And I go, hey, pick.
And he goes, looking at me, he's like, I go, hey, man, I don't know about you, but I had fun today.
Hey, this is Matt Cox, and I'm going to be talking to Patrick McKean. He actually just got out of prison a couple of years ago. He's a career criminal, been in and out of prison, did most of his time in federal and state penitentiaries. And so it's going to be an interesting interview. So check this out. So where were you raised?
I was raised in Vermont. I was born in Burlington, Vermont, January 1st, 1986. I wasn't the first baby born that year. I was the third, actually. And it was C-section, so I don't know if it really counted. My mom had like 50 hours of labor. But growing up in that era in the middle of nowhere in Vermont, it was work hard, party hard. And that's exactly what my parents did.
By the time I was six, my father went to prison for kidnapping and sexual assault on a prostitute. The crazy thing is that... And, you know, it wouldn't really surprise you to kind of see a charge like that coming with the man when my mom met him when he was out on bail for capital murder in 1980.
So he winds up going to prison. He had a good role model.
This is the crazy thing. I moved up here to take care of him. And he lived for nine months after I moved up here when I got out of prison. And he told me as he was dying that He committed the murder he got away with and was not guilty of the kidnapping and the sexual assault. And, you know, he always said that it was his way of getting found guilty.
