Bonnie and Clyde

Whenever the general public hear “Bonnie and Clyde”, they usually think about the dangerous duo who had a string of crimes attached to their backs. Bonnie and Clyde went around multiple cities and towns creating havoc all across the United States, but each half of the partnership had different backgrounds and ways of entering the world of crime. Most people only know the basic information about Bonnie and Clyde, but their lives go so much deeper and more intensive.

Bonnie Parker was born October 1, in 1910 and came from a family where she had to deal with her father dying at the ripe at of 4 years old. After his death, her mother brought Bonnie and the other 2 children, an older brother and a younger sister, into her grandmother's

As soon as he was able to get out with a couple of inmates, they were captured and brought back. In order to get out of prison, he cut off his big toe and hoped it would get him out. Although he did not need to, as his mother begged for her son to be released. When Bonnie and Clyde finally started doing crimes together, a small group of people included the love birds, would rob small businesses and banks. During one robbery, a police officer and store owner got in the way and the duo killed them both. They were on the run and stayed with Buck Barrow and his wife for a while before neighbors had gotten suspicious and the police were called. The outlaws escaped eventually but during the process, a shootout had occurred and multiple policemen were pronounced dead. Bonnie, Clyde, Buck, Blanche, and Jones were found in Platte City, Missouri, and both sides shot at each other. In the end, Buck had been injured and him and Blanche surrendered. Buck had died soon after that and his wife was sentenced to 10 years in prison. While Clyde was trying to create a jailbreak at Eastham, a prison guard was killed and his friend escaped. Methvin, who joined the gang, which included a former Texas Ranger.

Methvins father had betrayed the rest of the group, including Bonnie and Clyde, so he could get an official pardon of Methvins convictions. Bonnie and Clyde had seen the old man standing tired and worn by his truck and drove over, trying to help Methvins’ father. The police were hiding in the bushes and was able to open fire at them and “the duo were killed in a hail of bullets” (Bonnie and Clyde) with over 130 rounds shot into them and their car. Once the public found out they were dead, people tried to make off with locks of hair, pieces of clothing, and body parts (including one of Clyde’s ears) to try and make money off of it or keep it for souvenir. They were finally buried in separate locations, despite their wishes. They both were returned to Dallas, Texas to be buried.
