Fugitive Caught Living a Double Life, Decades After Escaping From Prison

Cheryl Love was making tea in the kitchen when cops came knocking on her door. But they weren’t looking for her. They rushed through her home and head straight to her bedroom. She was powerless to stop them.

When they got there, they confronted her husband, Bobby Love, and forced him to reveal a secret he’d been keeping for 40 years…

Her Day Started Out Normal

The year was 2015, and it was just another day for Cheryl Love from Brooklyn, New York. She was busy making tea in her kitchen while her husband Bobby slept in their bedroom.

But soon, her dream life turned into a total nightmare when she heard a knock on the door.

She Thought She Knew Her Husband

Ms. Love remembers the day she found out she’d been living a lie. When she went to open the door, the police were standing outside. She told Humans of New York, “I opened it up slowly, and saw the police standing there.

At first I wasn’t worried. We had this crazy lady that lived next door, and the police were always checking up on her.

So I assumed they had the wrong address.” But she was the one who had everything wrong, and it had been this way for a very long time.

He Was a Troublemaker Growing Up

Her husband, Bobby Love, had grown up in North Carolina. He was one of eight kids, and his mother couldn’t control him. So, he got into a lot of trouble. “I lifted purses from unlocked cars.

I was stealing government checks out of mailboxes,” he told Humans of New York. But he didn’t stop there.

He Paid For His Dues

“I got bolder and bolder, until one day I got busted stealing from the band room at school,” he said. In the blink of an eye, he was shipped off to Morrison Training School, a juvenile detention center, and he hated every minute of it.
