When The SWAT TEAM Is In a 6-Hour Standoff With Your Dad

The Private Record

The Private Record — Episode 020 — “When The SWAT TEAM Is In a 6-Hour Standoff With Your Dad”

This week’s guest Harlie was only 9 years old when a SWAT Team surrounded her house, guns drawn from every possible angle — street level, rooftop, you name it — hunting her father, who police suspected had shot up his former girlfriend’s apartment in a meth-fueled rage. Believe it or not, this is just the BEGINNING of Harlie’s wild tale.

This one’s got a shootout in broad daylight, a 6-hour SWAT Team standoff in suburban Utah, a dog drenched in tear gas, a meth-head named ‘Tigger’, another meth-head escaping a crime scene in a woman’s wig, and whole lotta other crazy details too— but it also has a big heart, one that sneaks up on you and eventually takes over the whole frigging episode, thanks to Harlie and the earnest, honest way she tells her family story of crime, addiction, violence, forgiveness, and an unbreakable father-daughter bond.
