In this podcast series, investigative reporter Darrell Brown teams up with former Metropolitan Police Detective Christian Plowman to take a journey through Juan's crimes - to unpack his extraordinary life - and to try and find him... it's a journey which takes two years, and spans the globe.

episode 5: Crossing The Line
In the latest instalment of Con Juan, we go back to the very beginning - and try to piece together the jigsaw of Juan’s childhood. After Juan reveals the reasons for his life-choices, to a judge, we examine whether his claims hold any merit, and ask if his upbringing in Colombia led him to a life of crime?
From Colombia to Canada, Darrell discovers how Juan once talked himself into trouble on the Canadian border. And - hot on Juan’s tail - a social media breakthrough inches us ever closer to finding the man himself.
