In the shadowy corners of the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State, Colton Harris-Moore emerged not merely as a troubled teenager but as a captivating figure who danced on the edge of legality. He became infamous as the "Barefoot Bandit," a moniker earned from his habit of executing crimes shoeless. Harris-Moore's crimes weren't petty acts of vandalism but a spree that captured the nation's imagination and law enforcement's frustration. His escapades included stealing cars, boats, and even airplanes—an improbable feat for someone with no formal training. His ability to evade capture became legendary, turning him into a media sensation and earning him a legion of online admirers who viewed him as a modern-day folk hero.   But not everyone was enamored. Critics pointed to the trail of victims left in his wake, each one facing the reality of lost property and violated privacy. The debate raged: Was he a Robin Hood figure or simply a criminal?  One thing is for sure.  Colt was just a kid.   Find out more on the thrilling second episode of Kina Murdery's 7th Season!
