BONNIE AND CLYDE’S Final Days 

All choked up my dear. TY. Team B& C.

great

I agree with you

They should take better care of that land then, they had their chance.

Why they fighting for her remains😊

Bonnie's been dead for 90yrs now, there's likely to be nothing left....I can understand both pov & it's a case where both sides are right, I guess.. I believe they should stay put, partly bc of your pov...

She a legend

Wow, thank you so much!

You’re welcome!

Thanks! I’m glad you like them.

Thank you!

I discuss that issue of Bonnie’s being accused of murder in my Grapevine episode. Ivey being handcuffed to a tree is in Ted Hinton’s book. Sadly he was suffering with dementia when he wrote it, and he died before he finished it. His son finished it and would have told the stories as his father told him. How much did he exaggerate when telling stories to his son? Basically I went with the version told by historians. I read multiple books by different authors and none seemed to accept that version as truth. Hinton also claimed Bonnie was still alive and died in his arms. There’s no way that can possibly be true. It’s sad to not be able to trust his account. I wish he had written it before his health declined so much. Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the additional info! 😊

Thanks!

Thanks!

I live in Springfield too, and I enjoy the local history!

Thank you!

Thanks, I’m glad you like it!

Never mind my last comment, I see you found it!

Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate your support.

Unprofessional lawmen

Wow, thank you!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support and I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for visiting my channel.

Are you talking about the site I went to? The Methvins were squatting in that house. There are rumors Clyde wanted to buy it and settle there (a fantasy if true). The owners had it torn down in the 60s or 70s, nobody seems to know precisely when. And it was basically because of gawkers and Bonnie and Clyde tourists like me that they did, lol. For a while people weren’t even certain of its location but experts seem pretty certain this was it, at this point. The owner of the ambush museum is who took me there, so I’m pretty sure he knows his stuff. Thanks for watching!

@@MMorbid Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for watching!

???

Glad you enjoyed it! More great stories to come.

I haven’t gone anywhere but have had quite an upload drought, some out of my control. I was gone a week in Florida, worked a week on a new video, got sick and totally lost my voice for nearly two weeks, worked one more week and finished my video only to have the computer flag me singing a public domain song in my own voice!! So I have to sit on it for 30 days while I dispute the copyright claim. It’s obvious the claimant is going to do nothing and let the 30 days run out. So it appears I disappeared but I swear I haven’t. Put up a new upload yesterday, about a killer hitchhiker. In two weeks maybe I can FINALLY release that other video about Elvis as a little boy in Tupelo. I went there on my way to Florida. Good point about copycats, btw, they were often more trigger happy than Clyde.

If Bonnie wasn't in them, she took them, as I understand it. She had talent.

@ChristopherJohnson-ew8ux hi

@ChristopherJohnson-ew8ux I’m from Pennsylvania. But thank you for asking and I’m glad you enjoy her videos. They’re wonderful fourth day you take care and have a wonderful evening.

They were buried separated, Bonnie's mom did not want them together. I've been to both their graves in Dallas💜

The cops was out of control????? Bonnie and Clyde was out of control....Live by the gun die by the gun as they did..

U must be a snowflake

I know, I dealt with this in the description as I did not change anything. The information I had came from Hinton’s book written 40 years later

I thought Hamer was the only one with a BAR.

No, Hamer had his Remington.@@chestnutsev7

@@MMorbid The problem was Hinton was suffering from early onset dementia, like when he said, "Bonnie died in my arms."

@@davem8836 I knew the book had issues, that explains a lot. Thank you for the information. I knew he wasn’t well at the end but I didn’t know why. Dementia is so cruel. My grandmother had it, it was horrible.

I'll see what I can do, though that location is pretty far from Southwest Missouri!

By breaking open, and emptying national guard armories.

Fortunately I don’t go in the woods very often for my channel and I was more focused on the ground (so I didn’t fall down) to think about what I might walk into, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Check out my episode on Platte City, it tells you what happened to Buck and Blanche, and my interview with Bonnie’s aunt talks about Blanche’s later life as well. WD was shot to death in Houston, Texas. I forget what year. He looked really old, but I don’t think he was as old as he looked. He had a very tough life. He was addicted and I think he was shot during a drug deal. Thanks for watching!

They were embalmed because firstly the bodies had to be transported to Dallas in some pretty awful heat, also authorities wanted an open casket public funeral to prove not only that they got them, but that there would be no doubt that they got the right people.

Lots of books, documentaries, talking to experts, and stuff I’ve absorbed from traveling to the actual locations over the last two years. Much of the information here came from Running With Bonnie and Clyde by John Neal Phillips.

@@MMorbid ok well you have some good videos i seen alot of stuff ive never seen anywhere..

I’m not an expert on historical fashion by any means, but wasn’t that kind of the fashion? They were getting lots of press and I honestly think he was trying to look “cool” for the cameras. Just speculation, I could totally be wrong. Later in life he only wore a cowboy hat. It is on display at the ambush museum in Gibsland. I show it in one of my videos but I don’t remember which one. Thanks for watching!

Also was extra in the movie made in 1967 in Nevada texas and Caddo Mills ..Royse city too..Faye Dunaway is a nieghbor now ..😮😊

Can tell you more about them ..my grandpa was sheriff in red river county then ..😮

Their story is most definitely interesting!

@@highcountrydelatite I cannot agree. They did bad things but in my research I have encountered true evil. Jack the Ripper, BTK, even Billy Cook. Torture, rape, killing children…Clyde killed to get away and stay alive. He took no pleasure in it and would never do the things the people I just listed would. He was capable of kindness and not a psychopath. Had I met him I wouldn’t have been afraid of being harmed, but Billy Cook would have scared the hell out of me. That guy was evil through and through, though almost surely also mentally ill.

I met a guy at the ambush marker who said his grandparents did business with Ivy Methvin. His exact words were, according to his grandparents anyway, “Ivy Methvin was an asshole.” Lol That’s why I think any number of people may have had motive to run him over than just the Barrows. Ivy was killed by a hit and run driver in the 1940s. Thanks for watching!

@@TRIChuckles their headstones were stolen in 1967, but recovered. No body snatch attempts that I know of. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the great video. Remember even Lincoln's body was stolen! Take care

@@TRIChuckles I know, that’s a wild story!

My grandmother died in 1975. She was driving when it happened but I think she got the car stopped, didn’t wreck. She was in distress of course, but whoever encountered her stole her wedding ring. With today’s medical advances she could have been saved. Basically humanity is monsters. I always say I hate people but like most of the people I meet.

@@highcountrydelatite either way it got stolen! But some things were returned to the family. Famously Clyde’s death shirt was returned. And police stole things all the time. They divvied up everything left at Joplin, for example. As you say, forget evidence, they just kept everything for themselves. An Iowa policeman stole Motorcycle Officer Tom Persell’s custom grip revolver. He begged Clyde to give it back as it cost a month’s wages, only to have an Iowa cop steal it from him when it was abandoned at Dexfield. In some ways the cops were just as bad. That gun bothers me so much. I can’t believe one officer would do that to another. Tom never got it back and it is now lost to history. Maybe the thief’s ancestors are ashamed to admit their loved one did that. But somewhere, poor Officer Persell’s gun is hiding in an Iowa attic. If it ever surfaces I firmly believe it should go to Officer Persell’s family. Not that it does Tom any good now. Tom was from where I live. I’ve met lots of people who knew him, so maybe that’s why I feel strongly about it. Clyde hadn’t yet figured out he could arm himself by knocking off armories. If Persell had encountered him later I’m pretty sure Clyde would have given it back to him.

More surprised because I didn’t see it, lol. I actually really like spiders and feel bad when I destroy their webs. I go out of my way to leave them alone. Orb weavers are my favorite. They build their webs new every night, so hopefully that’s what that web was and I didn’t hurt the spider. Thanks for watching!

@@MMorbid no problem, the pleasures mine, I’m digging you stuff
