Scott Eizember's desperate attempt to stay one step ahead of law enforcement turned into a deadly rampage. In Part 2, we examine the heartbreaking murders of A.J. and Patsy Cantrell, a couple whose kindness put them directly in the path of one of Oklahoma's most dangerous fugitives. As the search for Scott intensified, his violence didn't stop. Travis and Carla soon found themselves trapped in a terrifying fight for their lives when they unexpectedly crossed paths with the armed fugitive. Against overwhelming odds, they fought back and survived an encounter that very few people could have escaped. Join us as we break down the events that led to these devastating crimes, the incredible courage and resilience of the survivors, and the relentless investigation that finally closed in on Scott Eizember before he could claim another victim.

M

MegHost

0:46

Uh, and he was angry that Kathy wasn't there, so he decided that he was gonna stake out the home until she returned, 'cause he's totally in his right mind, in a good place.

M

MegHost

0:58

This is gonna pan out for him, right? Um, and he thinks he's found the perfect place to hide when he hears 76-year-old AJ and 70-year-old Patsy Cantrell-

K

KatherineHost

1:10

Oh

M

MegHost

1:10

... leaving their home just across the street from the Wrights.

K

KatherineHost

1:13

Mm-hmm.

M

MegHost

1:13

So the Cantrells live here and the Wrights live here.

M

MegHost

KatherineHost

1:19

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm.

M

MegHost

1:31

Um, so when he got inside, he found a .410 shotgun, um, which for anybody who's, like, not super familiar with guns, that's a pretty small shotgun-

K

KatherineHost

1:42

Mm

M

MegHost

1:43

... compared to, like, other shotguns.

M

MegHost

1:44

Um, it's commonly kept to shoot, like, squirrels or, like, small game.

K

KatherineHost

1:48

Mm-hmm.

M

MegHost
