Oh, it was just a lame joke. This was what Quinn told the administrator before he took off with the cash - that he was going to "take care of the morning run."

Oh right ! Silly me - how could I forget that one :lol: I was about to :sleep: when I asked that ....

Yeah, Jack must be taking care of a very long morning run .....:lol: :lol:

:talk: I calculated that based what he was earning from the FPS etc , he stole the equivalent of almost 25years worth of salary ...... the Jack Quinn story is one of the most intriguing segments on UM

Yes, given your calculations, I would have to say that Jack was probably set for life after he completed that run.

It's a intriguing segment for sure. I never was able to figure out if they caught him.

I wonder if he's even still alive.

Random fact, but I've been to that airport where Quinn abandoned his car numerous times. In fact, I'm headed there tonight and I'll be be retrieving my car from long term parking, lol. True story.

Was Quinn ever captured? I know in the segment, they tracked him to Houston, Tx where he was living under his brother in law's name, but no update was ever given on if he was actually captured. Does anyone know?

I've wondered this for years and never have been able to find out much.

Quinn's profile is still in the "Wanted" section on the UM website, so I'd assume he's never been found. If he's still alive, he would be 76 years old today.

Wow, someone who actually got away with it. I'm sure he's dead by now though.

The moral of the story-If your gonna rob a company of a 6 figure or 7 figure amount make sure you have an everyman like face that will blend into the crowd.

Ironically, this was one of those segments where the reenactment actor looked nothing like the actual person, IMO.

Gotta give it to Jack he covered his tracks and lived quietly on the run.

He must be a very disciplined man and probably lived a very simple life.

Hell he even thought enough of his wife to leave behind 170K with the letter he left. Enough for her to maintain and or start anew life. She turned it into the cops though. 170K was a lot of money back then. I wonder if she ever regretted it? LOL.

I love the mysteries where the bad guy actually gets away albeit not hurting or harming anyone. So you can guess some of my favorite segments includes DB Cooper, The Tunnel Robberies, and the guy who faked his death in a plane crash..among other popular scams where the bad guy seems to have got away.

Moreover, someone on Reddit thinks they solved the crime:

They think this is him...

SOLVED! Wow! -- I sometimes watch UM while I am cleaning at night and the next day I will look up the cases to see if there are any updates. I just watched this one last night and imagine my surprise just now reading that FBI announced yesterday they had located him as a man that died back in December.

Western NC is a weird place. Very liberal for the south.. It's almost like Florida of the mountains.. Lots of snowbirds and people moving out of the north for the quiet life in the south.

It's also.. Historically quite the moonshine hotspot.. Which.. Leads to people minding their own business and not getting involved with anyone else's.

In other words, a great place to hide, it would seem

It makes me so happy to see that we are still getting updates for UM well into the 2020s.
