Bonnie! Bonnie! Have you seen my Bonnie? Well if you do, tell her I'm looking for her. I, Clyde Barrow, was half of the famous romantic gangster duo, Bonnie and Clyde, and was wanted everywhere for 13 murders and much, much more. I was born on March 24, 1909 in Ellis County, Texas. I was born to a poor family of seven. My brother, Buck, and I supported our family as petty thieves. ("Clyde Barrow Biography.")
On April 21, 1930, I arrived at Eastham Prison after being arrested for the second time. Life was unbearable there for me and I became desperate to get out.

Before the sun had broken on June 6th, 1996 Darlie Routier (26) of Rowlett Texas was pleading with the dispatch operator for immediate help. In this almost 6 minute long call (in which the police get there in 3 minutes and about 45 seconds in) Mrs. Routier seems to be in complete shock, as she begs the operator to quickly send police. However, in between brief periods of hysterical breathing and unintelligible sobs she soberly remarks how she picked up the suspected murder weapon and this could have tainted any fingerprints that were there before.
