FUGITIVE FILES is the true crime podcast covering fugitives on the run from the FBI — from wanted killers and international scammers to cult leaders, con artists, and criminals hiding in plain sight. We break down the manhunts, fake identities, shocking mistakes, near captures, and the investigations that brought them down… or failed to. Some fugitives disappear for decades.
Some are still out there. New episodes every Monday.

Because the case is never closed.

  • The GRU Hackers: Cyberwar, Global Chaos & the $10 Million Bounty
    Jul 13 2026
    A hospital brought to its knees. An international sporting event thrown into chaos. And a cyberattack so destructive that it caused billions in damage across the globe.

    In this episode of Fugitive Files, we investigate the six Russian military intelligence officers accused of carrying out some of the most devastating cyberattacks in modern history. Federal prosecutors allege that members of the GRU's infamous Unit 74455 launched a series of operations targeting governments, businesses, hospitals, elections, and critical infrastructure around the world. Among the attacks was the notorious NotPetya malware outbreak, a digital weapon that spread far beyond its intended targets and left a trail of financial devastation across multiple continents.

    Investigators say the same group was also linked to attacks on Ukraine's power grid, the 2018 Winter Olympics, and efforts to disrupt democratic institutions abroad. One American victim, a Pennsylvania healthcare system, reportedly suffered major operational failures and financial losses as a result of the cyber intrusions. Despite years of investigation and public indictments, the accused officers remain beyond the reach of U.S. authorities, prompting a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to their capture.

    In this episode, we break down the cyberattacks, the digital battlefield of modern espionage, the global fallout from state-sponsored hacking, and the hunt for the men accused of turning computer code into a weapon of international chaos.

  • Farhad “Fred” Monem: Bribes, Rotten Food & the Fugitive Shepherd
    Jul 6 2026
    A trusted state official. Millions in taxpayer dollars. And a corruption scandal so bizarre it allegedly ended with the accused hiding out as a shepherd in Iran.

    In this episode of Fugitive Files, we uncover the case of Farhad “Fred” Monem, the former Oregon Department of Corrections administrator accused of orchestrating a years-long bribery scheme that corrupted the state's prison food system. According to federal investigators, Monem accepted more than $1.2 million in kickbacks from food brokers in exchange for steering lucrative government contracts their way. Prosecutors allege the arrangement allowed vendors to profit while inmates were served spoiled, substandard, and sometimes unsafe food, all at the expense of Oregon taxpayers.

    As the investigation closed in, Monem allegedly vanished before he could be brought to justice. While his wife and several co-conspirators were convicted and sent to prison, authorities say Monem fled to his native Iran, where he has remained beyond the reach of U.S. law enforcement. The FBI and IRS have spent years trying to track him down, turning him into one of the more unusual white-collar fugitives on America's wanted lists.

    In this episode, we break down the bribery scheme, the millions that allegedly changed hands behind closed doors, the impact on Oregon's prison system, and the extraordinary story of a fugitive accused of trading a government office for life on the run.

  • Rashawd Lamar Tulloch: Craigslist Scams, Crypto Laundering & a Global Fraud Empire
    Jun 29 2026
    A bargain that never arrives. A wire transfer that disappears. And an international crime ring that allegedly turned online shopping into a multi-million-dollar scam.

    In this episode of Fugitive Files, we uncover the case of Rashawd Lamar Tulloch, one of the individuals accused of helping launder money for a sprawling criminal network that allegedly defrauded thousands of Americans through fake online listings.

    According to federal prosecutors, the organization flooded websites like Craigslist and eBay with advertisements for vehicles, equipment, and other high-value items that didn't actually exist. Victims were convinced to send payments through wire transfers and prepaid cards, only to discover they had purchased nothing at all. Investigators say the stolen funds were funneled through a sophisticated laundering operation involving cryptocurrency, allowing millions of dollars to move from American victims to overseas conspirators. What began as isolated fraud complaints eventually exposed an international organized crime enterprise stretching from small-town America to Romania. The investigation led to sweeping federal indictments, multiple extraditions, and one of the largest online fraud crackdowns in recent years.

    In this episode, we break down the scam, the crypto money trail, the global law enforcement operation, and how an online marketplace fraud scheme evolved into a transnational criminal empire.
