Meet the Seattle woman whose $21,684 towing bill inspired a new film with Rose Byrne

Amanda Ogle's car got stolen in 2017, and she fought for over a year to get it back from a Seattle towing company. Her bill? $21,684. 

Ogle was unhoused at the time, so her 1991 Camry wasn’t just a way to get around; it was her home. 

Her case attracted coverage in The Seattle Times and elsewhere, and now her saga is the plot of a movie, Tow, starring Rose Byrne. 

Guests: Amanda Ogle, her child Avery Ogle and her lawyer Kevin Eggers, who are all portrayed in the film.
