1967. ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

At his son's fifth birthday party, Joseph Maloney was alleged to have poisoned his wife. While awaiting trial in the psychiatric wing of a Rochester hospital, he escaped and vanished.

Years later, a charming stranger calling himself Michael O'Shea surfaced in Dublin.

Claiming roots in the west of Ireland, he married a local woman and sold his garage business to buy a grand country estate.

For years he lived as a country gentleman and worked at the pinnacle of Ireland's film industry - until a US extradition treaty exposed his true identity.

Arrested in 1985, Maloney escaped justice again when his trial collapsed on a technicality. He fled Ireland, leaving US and Irish investigators clueless as to his whereabouts - until an RTÉ Documentary on One podcast picked up his trail decades later.
