Who lives in Walter White's house? Is meth actually blue? And is being sent to Belize really so bad? As Netflix releases the new El Camino movie, here are 42 criminally good Breaking Bad stories

1. Walter White is real

While nobody has yet gone full Heisenberg, Vince Gilligan’s message about the perils of meth production and distribution apparently failed to reach a handful of hard-up educators.

William Duncan, a chemistry teacher from Texas, was arrested for selling home-cooked meth within school grounds; in 2011, 74-year-old mathematics professor Irina Kristy was caught running a meth lab from her Boston home; North Carolina teacher’s assistant and meth chef Marc Hodges was arrested in 2013 after suspiciously purchasing 1,000 cases of matches; and Stephen Doran, a Boston teacher with stage 3 cancer, was found dealing meth and arrested that same year.

But perhaps the most striking case of life imitating art occurred before Breaking Bad was even on television. In 2008, an Alabama man (main photo, above) earned a place on the state’s Most Wanted list thanks to his thriving meth business. Admittedly, he was neither a teacher nor a cancer sufferer. But his name? Walter White.
