The morning of 8 February, 1977, Anthony G. 'Tony' Kiritsis, 44, entered the office of Richard O. Hall, president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed off 12-gauge shotgun wired with a 'dead man’s wire' from the trigger to the Hall’s head. This is the true story of the stand off that took the world by storm as Tony demanded $5 million, no charges or prosecution, and a personal apology from the Halls for cheating him out of what he was 'owed'.
