Margo Freshwater.
She was a wild child, you might say.
Hot off a killing spree with a boyfriend twice her age.
Almost like a Bonnie and Clyde situation.
They were armed, dangerous, and on the run.
They had a wanted poster of her up on the wall.
I mean, she's like a legend.
She was given a life sentence.
She'll be delivered to the woman of the state penitentiary of Nashville.
They'll be confined for a period of 99 years.
But that didn't last long.
She basically walked out of prison
And then she was able to stay hidden for 32 years
Her family declared her dead
But one investigator never stopped looking
It goes from chasing a ghost
To she does exist
For over 30 years
Margo Freshwater outran the law
Now she's done running
And for the first time ever
She's ready to tell her side
I wanted to get my story out there the way it really went down.
From Sony Music Entertainment, this is the Crimes of Margo Freshwater, coming January 1st to The Binge.
