Robert Crimo | Before They Were Criminal

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

According to reports that are pouring in from the state of Illinois, Robert Crimo -- the perpetrator of a deadly attack at Highland Park during the recent Fourth of July festivities -- was a mystery, even to his own family. Described as a “real quiet kid” who most of the time kept to himself, this wannabe YouTube rapper has a face etched in tattoos and is now directly responsible for tragic passing of six people and the wounding of dozens more. Thankfully, Robert -- the man who was first identified as a “Person of Interest” -- has now been apprehended by police. And while he has yet to be formally charged in the shooting, authorities believe they have found the man responsible for these heinous, crimes after capturing him near Lake Forest, Illinois. By now, we’ve all witnessed the scenes of destruction Robert left behind in his wake – and they’re harrowing images to say the least – but who is this kid really and did anyone in his inner circle have any inkling this was about to happen? You’re about to find out on our newest episode of Before They Were Criminal.
