Overview

Run, Bucky, Run! On April 2, 2006, Ralph James ""Bucky"" Phillips-a notorious criminal who was arrested for parole violation of a burglary conviction-made a spectacular escape from Erie County Correctional Facility by using a can opener to cut through the metal roof of a kitchen. The manhunt for Bucky became one of the most extensive in New York State history. While on the lam, Bucky shot three state troopers, one of whom died from his injuries. Bucky became something of an unlikely folk hero with one restaurant featuring a ""Bucky Burger"" on the menu for those ""On the Run."" T-shirts were marketed saying, ""Run, Bucky, Run!"" Killer on the Run is a searing account of Bucky's escape and gruesome killing spree, featuring never-before-revealed details, photographs, and documents.
