His name is Thanh, 45 years old, and lives in Co Dam, Ha Tinh. He is married with two children and earns a living by harvesting clams. On August 15, he went out to sea at around 6 a.m. to harvest clams near Dan Hai. Shortly after setting out, he encountered large waves that swept him seven kilometers away from his original position. Through the miraculous strength of a father and a husband, he managed to swim back to shore and was aided by local residents. The entire ordeal—saving his own life and securing the future of his family—lasted ten hours. Truly, this was both a miracle and a testament to faith; it was his deep love for his wife and children that gave him the strength to never give up. Wishing him good health and safe travels for ten thousand miles.

A 20 year old bank teller stole $215,000 in cash and vanished without a trace. Five decades later on his deathbed, he told his daughter and made her promise never to look up his real name. Two years after he died, she launched a podcast that told his entire secret to the world. – Theodore "Ted" Conrad worked as a vault teller at Society National Bank in Cleveland, Ohio, starting in 1969. – On July 11, 1969, he finished his shift, stuffed $215,000 in cash into a paper bag, and walked out. He was never seen as Ted Conrad again. – The sum would be worth roughly $1.8 MILLION today. Investigators chased leads across the country for decades; his case was featured on "America's Most Wanted" and "Unsolved Mysteries." – Conrad resurfaced under a new identity, Thomas Randele, in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, sold luxury cars, married, and raised a daughter, Ashley, who knew nothing of his past. – In March 2021, dying of lung cancer, he told Ashley he'd had to change his name decades earlier, and that authorities were "probably still looking" for him. – He agreed to give her his real name on one condition: she had to promise never to look into it. – She agreed. She broke that promise within hours, searching his name that same night and finding hundreds of articles about a bank teller wanted since 1969. – Conrad died two months later, at 71, having evaded capture for 52 years. He was never arrested. – In late 2023, Ashley released everything she'd found in a podcast called "Smoke Screen: My Fugitive Dad," turning her father's private confession into a full public investigation. He asked her to keep his secret buried forever. Two years later, she turned it into a podcast instead.
