The Dougherty Gang

Episode 1 - We can't change the past, not yet

On August 1, 2001 21-year-old Ryan Dougherty appeared in a Florida courtroom to plead no contest to felony charges for a crime he committed as a teenager. No longer the person he was back then, Ryan was looking forward to the future with his pregnant girlfriend who was due to give birth to their son in days. After court, Ryan met with his probation officer and was shocked to learn he had 48 hours to comply with the terms or he’d be sent to prison for 15 years. Distraught, Ryan confided in his 29-year-old sister Lee Grace and 26-year-old-brother Dylan. As the hours ticked by, the trio felt the only way to save Ryan from prison was to run.  Check us out online! <a href="http://www.instagram.com/KT_Studios">www.instagram.com/KT_Studios</a>   Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

The Dougherty Gang is the true story of three siblings in their 20s - two brothers and a sister - who went on an eight-day, fifteen-state, AK-47-wielding, bank robbing journey in 2011. It's a remarkable account that delves into the details of the complex circumstances that kicked off this crime spree, how they averted local, state and federal agents along the way and how they're doing now in prison.
