On the morning of February 8, 1977, Anthony G. "Tony" Kiritsis, forty-four, entered the office of Richard O. Hall, president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed-off twelve-gauge shotgun wired with a "dead man's wire" from the trigger to Hall's head.
Dead Man's Wire tells the unbelievable true story of the stand-off that took the world by storm as Tony demanded $5 million, no charges or prosecution, and a personal apology from the Halls for cheating him out of what he was "owed."
