Manhunt: The Phantom Cop Killer
Storyline
Barry Prudom was the most wanted man in Britain. A father-of-two turned desperate killer who sparked the biggest armed police manhunt the country had ever seen. 1,000 officers from 12 forces spent two weeks scouring West Yorkshire for the fugitive who had shot dead two police officers and a local pensioner. Hiding out in forests and villages, Prudom evaded capture in a series of extraordinary escapes which earned him the nickname The Phantom - living off the land.
