George Norman also brought the rock and roll format to Utah radio through one of the 20 stations he owned in Utah, Colorado, Montana, and Utah. The millionaire spent more than 20 years as a fugitive on the lam from authorities for stealing more than $500,000 from a Denver bank to finance his lavish lifestyle that included a Lear jet and million dollar Salt Lake City home. (Million dollar home in the 1970s). Just minutes before George Norman was set to start a two-year prison term, he took off in a borrowed car, leaving his high-profile defense attorney, Orrin G. Hatch, stranded on March 23, 1973. Federal Marshals finally caught up with George Norman in the mid-1990s after he spend more than 25 years evading capture by relying on paying bills in cash, living under aliases, and using P.O. boxes as his address of record.
