He Thought They Were Coming for Him — They Weren't

Two Boston police officers walked into an alley to check on a domestic dispute that had nothing to do with the man they encountered there. Ted Otsuki, a parolee with a violent past, assumed they were coming for him — and in a single, catastrophic misjudgment, opened fire.

What followed was an eleven-month international manhunt that placed Otsuki on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list and eventually led investigators from Boston to San Francisco, through Texas, and into a high-rise apartment in Guadalajara, Mexico.

This episode traces the tragic misunderstanding that cost Officer Roy Sergei his life, the manhunt that crossed two countries, and the courtroom reckoning that finally closed the case.

Part of The FBI Files, based on real case history.
