The Wisconsin Windfall: How Escaped Convicts Pulled Off the State's Biggest Bank Robbery

from True Crime · host Media Network

On June 19, 1985, convicted bank robber Terry Conner and his partner, Joseph Dougherty, executed a daring escape while en route to trial, instantly becoming two of the FBI's most wanted men. Instead of disappearing, they went back to business. Just three months later, using Conner's signature, well-practiced method of operation, they boldly staged the largest bank robbery in Wisconsin history. This is the story of the nationwide manhunt for the escapees, a pursuit that intensified as their audacity grew, forcing the FBI to anticipate their next move based on a familiar criminal blueprint before they could vanish for good.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime--6473403/support.
