The manhunt peaks, the legend grows.

Matthew “the Phantom Bandit” Kimes slips through disguises and roadblocks, kidnaps a marshal at shotgun point, and vanishes into the Osage Hills—only to reappear on the rim of the Grand Canyon. His capture ignites a media frenzy, a motion picture, and a trial that decides his fate - for now.
