#TrueCrimeOddball — Former U.S. Army veteran Jeffrey Manchester turns to a bizarre series of fast-food heists by breaking into rooftops of McDonald’s branches to support his family. He earns the nickname “Roofman”, escapes prison, and hides out inside a now-closed Toys “R” Us for months until love and law enforcement close in. Roger Ebert+2Rotten Tomatoes+2
