Holmes, the “Devil in the White City.”After prison, Hedgepeth tried to go straight, working as a shoemaker and Pinkerton informant. Yet his old ways caught up with him, and the legend of The Handsome Bandit came to a tragic end.This is the incredible true story of crime, betrayal, and redemption — the outlaw who helped catch a killer.#OldWest #OutlawStories #WildWestHistory #MarionHedgepeth #HandsomeBandit #TrainRobberies #HHHolmes #TrueCrimeHistory #AmericanWest #WildWestDeepDives #WesternLegends #LawmenAndOutlaws #19thCenturyAmerica #PinkertonDetectives #truehistory Sources;https://www.legendsofamerica.com/marion-hedgepeth/ https://truewestmagazine.com/article/last-of-the-fast-guns/ Article by Ron Soodalterhttps://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/news/nation-world/1996/05/26/the-bad-doctor/50650073007/ Dave Ivey Articlehttps://truewestmagazine.com/article/marion-hedgepeth-crosses-tracks-with-serial-killer-h-h-holmes/ Mark Boardman Articlehttps://www.biography.com/crime/hh-holmes https://archive.org/details/holmespitezelcas00geye/page/46/mode/ The Holmes-Pitezel case; a history of the greatest crime of the century and of the search for the missing Pitezel children by Geyer, Frank P; Lawrence J.
