Fugitive who faked death nearly killed by Covid / Boy reported dead by mom found alone in motel

In this week's True Crime Daily Podcast: An American man accused of sex crimes in multiple states reportedly died from cancer in 2020. Now authorities say he faked his death and became an international fugitive, after he's caught in a Scottish hospital with a near-fatal case of COVID. He's set to be extradited back to the U.S.

And a Tennessee woman tells her son's school that her 12-year-old boy died from a seizure. Teachers and friends raising money for funeral arrangements reach a dead end, before an officer finds the child neglected, but alive, in a local motel room.

Author and retired homicide detective Danny R. Smith joins host Ana Garcia.
