13 Millionaire criminals who bought their freedom… You’ll be surprised to see this! (With Pictures)

11. John Gordon Abbott

Abbott and two other men by the names of Michael Hennessey and Phillip Thompson allegedly murdered Valerie McDonald. After Hennessey became close with McDonald, he told her that she was going to be an extra in a film. With that story, he was able to lure her to a warehouse where she was drugged and bounded to a mattress for 10 days.

Her body was discovered in 1990, but was not identified until 2000. Neither of the men were charged with murder and Abbott took off to Canada subsequently afterward. However, his escape plan came to a halt when he shot at Mounties who were apprehending him. After seven years of time served in prison, he was released. He is allegedly residing in Japan.
