The former fugitive from Camano Island who became known as the “Barefoot Bandit” will work with the man who represented him in court, once he is released from prison.
“He’ll be out, maybe this week, working at my office,” told Seattle’s Morning News.
Colton Harris-Moore, now 25, will do clerical work in Browne’s office until he finishes work release. Browne, known for representing high-profile cases such as Harris-Moore and serial killer Ted Bundy, says the work at his office will offer “a home” away from the work release facility.

This will be the second time Browne has offered a client work.
“There are ups and downs, but I promised Colton I would help as long as I could,” Browne explained. “He needed a job and I have work for him.”
Harris-Moore is approaching the end of his six-year prison sentence. In 2008, he escaped from a juvenile halfway house and evaded law enforcement while committing crimes, including stealing planes, guns, and a boat. He was arrested in the Bahamas.
Since his capture, Harris-Moore hasn’t flown under the radar. He and then, despite his distaste for the media, broke his silence earlier this year as he attempted to raise money so he could cryogenically freeze his dying mother.
Though he is willing to help Colton Harris-Moore, Browne says he wasn’t so close to all his clients. Ted Bundy, for example, began to mimic Browne and may have believed the two were friends, but that wasn’t the case.
