Bonnie & Clyde were on the run for two years. They committed small time thefts but big time murders. They were killers, pure and simple. They drove fast and far, laid low, and had help all over their territory. But they always came home. Over 1000 men from various law enforcement agencies, including the new FBI, couldn’t catch them. So we needed one Texas Ranger, and that man was Frank Hamer. Hamer, his friend and fellow Ranger Maney Gault, along with two Dallas deputy sheriffs, tracked the outlaws and set them up to get what they had coming. The posse did in a few weeks what the rest of the country couldn’t do in two years. They got justice. Hear about the chase and dramatic end to the crime spree of Bonnie & Clyde in the latest episode of Wise About Texas.

My mom and dad were the same age as Bonnie and clyde. They made it through the depression without harming anyone. Bad people are Bad.They are just part of humanity.

Frank was the epitome of guts, brains and fairness.

My great grandmother made dresses in West Dallas. When they were killed Cummie had nothing to wear for Clyde’s funeral. My aunt knew one of the Barrows and they lent her the dress for her to attend. She did eventually get the dress back. Back then people didn’t really wear deodorant so my grandmother said that her mother was so mad because she got it back smelly and dirty, she also mentioned that Cummie had holes in her underwear when she got fitted for the dress. Also Bonnie was initially buried at Fish Trap cemetery but she was moved where she is now

Instead of 'If you click on that...' why not photos of the places?

I thought that was a made up story of Bonnie shooting the patrolman, seen it said many other places that she never shot anyone.

@ALH072 There are a lot of inconsistencies to this video from what I have read over the last 30 years. The eyewitness account to the murder of the two motorcycle cops was discredited because he was too far away to see anything. Also, Methvyn was not asleep in the car. Clyde said "Lets take them" (kidnap them). Methvyn didn't know what that meant so he grabbed a BAR (not a shotgun) and shot one or both of them. Clyde may have shot the second one after Methvyn botched the kidnapping. Bonnie? There is no evidence that she ever fired a gun in battle. The famous reenactment showing her standing over a downed officer and killing him has long been discredited as the witness was too far away to see anything. An STD that she gave to every gang member? Please. Too funny. Finally it was fellow deputy Ted Hinton that had a liking for Bonnie and visited her at her cafe, not Bob Alcorn. Ted Hinton was single, Bob Alcorn was married. I'm nor sure where the author got his sources.

Where did you get the spelling of (Methvin). An expert like you should at least get the spelling right.@@northernlight4614

Thank you, northern lights, for your comments. I tend to believe your side of the story as Bonnie was so crippled up at the end she wouldn't have walked out there and shot the patrolman. It was Methvin. I believe he was killed years later because he was a rat. Many of these untruths spread after their seats to sensationalized the story. Bonnie wasn't an angel, she was very bad, but not how this story portrays her. Thank you for pointing out these inconsistency.

I've been on Eastham unit and anyone who thinks it was a good idea to stay were fools. It was hellish to say the least.

Dog the bounty hunter went to Huntsville, not as bad but pretty bad. No wonder he went straight after that. Then again he spent time at Eastman, he went to the same place Clyde Barrow was.
