Let me tell you about a truly compelling, but heartbreaking, story. It’s about a man, a veteran from North Carolina, who found himself divorced and struggling to support his three kids back in 1998. Desperate, he turned to robbing a local fast-food restaurant – and quickly earned the nickname ‘Roofman’ for his daring escapes. Unfortunately, his actions led to capture, and ultimately, the loss of custody of his children. Even after being imprisoned, he attempted to start over, forging a new identity with a woman who had no idea about his past. But his luck ran out, and he was caught again, adding a staggering 32 years to his already substantial 45-year sentence. It’s a cautionary tale about the consequences of desperate choices.
