Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2905

Tonight's special guest is Marcus Miller from Pensacola, Florida. In 1967, desperate to flee an abusive father, he ran away from home at age eleven. His journey that would took him from central Oregon down to California, east into Nevada, and across the country to Florida, on freight trains, Greyhound Bus, and hitchhiking. The trek took one hundred and sixty-three days. It was not accomplished without many setbacks and obstacles. 'I was abused by hobos in a trainyard, was robbed by a woman after I helped fix her car, and kidnapped in KansasI was placed on a work farm with sixteen other kidnapped children. My youth quickly vanished and I arrived in Florida an older and much wiser young man." Marcus explains further, "In Miami I hired on as crew to a schooner and sailed into the Caribbean, arriving in St. Thomas V.I." He was eventually recruited and trained by a Panamanian based military contractor that was sanctioned by the U.S. State Department. "I worked with them for over twenty years rescuing kidnap victims from Colombia, Central America, and Mexico." Marcus explains, "My education was acquired from working and living on the streets, back alleys, fetid jungles, and dank ports in third world countries. Now I travel across the U.S. in an RV, writing action-adventure novels." Marcus currently has nine novels published and available on Amazon, and is presently nearing completion of book #10, 'Predators’ Highway', a novel about human trafficking. "I am 66 years old and enjoy fishing, hiking, camping, cooking, and researching my novels."
