Anthony Autry: Getting on LAPD's MOST WANTED List | The Hopeaholics Podcast

In this raw and gripping episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, we sit down with Anthony Autry, a man whose journey from privilege to rock bottom serves as a powerful testament to resilience and redemption.

Growing up in the upper-class Pacific Palisades of Los Angeles, Anthony seemed to have it all—family trips, private schools, and a stable upbringing. But his life took a drastic turn after his parents’ divorce at the age of seven, setting him on a path of rebellion and addiction. By fifth grade, he was experimenting with drugs and alcohol, and his teenage years saw him entangled in dangerous friendships and destructive habits.

Anthony shares candidly about his struggles with methamphetamine addiction, multiple incarcerations, and his time on the LAPD's most-wanted list. He reflects on the tragic loss of his brother Angelo, who was murdered in a workplace dispute, and how this tragedy compounded his struggles with addiction and crime.

Despite the chaos, Anthony's story is one of hope. Tune in to hear how he navigated the darkness of addiction, the harsh realities of prison life, and the pursuit of recovery and redemption.
