HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. — Dr. Phil McGraw will speak with Dalton Hayes, the Kentucky teenager who last month allegedly went on a two-week crime spree in the southeastern U.S. with his 13-year-old girlfriend until by police in Florida.
The exclusive jailhouse interview will air at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Hayes and his girlfriend made national headlines when they allegedly forged checks and stole cars, evading police across five southern states, reportedly leaving a trail of chaos in their wake.
The pair was dubbed by some as the "modern-day Bonnie and Clyde," referring to the notorious young outlaws from the 1930s.
The nation watched as authorities launched a manhunt. They were apprehended by police while sleeping in an allegedly stolen truck.
Hayes has been indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges, including second-degree rape. He has pleaded not guilty and remains behind bars at the Grayson County Detention Center in Leitchfield, Kentucky.
In the interview, Dr. Phil asks Hayes about his relationship with his girlfriend and the events that led them to run away; if he was aware that their every move was making national headlines, how he felt when he was finally caught and why his young girlfriend allegedly pleaded with him not to take her home to Kentucky.
Dr. Phil also speaks with Hayes' mother, Tammy Martin, to get her thoughts on the crimes that her son allegedly committed and if she knew that his girlfriend was just 13.
