When Matthew MaGill died alone in the woods on the Florida-Georgia border, he left behind a box filled with the artifacts of an incredible life: from Broadway in the 1970s, to a 747 hijacking, to the culture of drugs and luxury cars in 1980s Florida. A series of coincidences leads reporter Eric Mennel to the box, sending him on a five-year search to understand the truth about its owner. But as Mennel learns who Matthew MaGill really was, he is confronted with questions about his own life, his own mistakes, and his own family secrets.

Customer Reviews
Surprisingly good!
So I just stumbled up on this and for three days now, I’ve had all these, as NPR puts it, “driveway moments”. I don’t think I have enjoyed a podcast more in such a long time. How the author juxtaposed his life experience along with this mercurial figure was brilliant storytelling!
Bravo!
Vanity Project
Do not be fooled by the description. Two episodes are dedicated to an interesting subject. What remains is the podcaster milking the weakest of his own family’s drama.
BEST. PODCAST. EVER!!
Who would have guessed that this would be such a really good story?!?!!! This was fantastic!!! Couldn’t stop listening. Sat in the car long after arriving places just to hear more! There was NO WAY to guess upcoming content!
Maybe I can find more podcasts by Eric. I feel like I know him as a friend after this podcast. He’s a GREAT storyteller … and a terrific writer! Wow what a memorable story! I loved it and plan to tell lots of people about it.
