Weirdly normal facts about The Barrow Gang:

Bonnie ate boiled eggs. Blanche sometimes boiled them for her

Bonnie and Blanche would sometimes sneak off to movies. But sometimes they all went to the movies together.

Bonnie and Clyde Playing poker, cleaning their guns and making noise until 2am which Blanche said she disapproved of.

Clyde once worked as a movie theatre usher!

The gang rarely woke before noon

Bonnie and Clyde lived messily, everything covered in guns and clothes, but Clyde was an efficient packer.

The Grapevine Easter Sunday Murders: April 1, 1934

At approximately half past three in the afternoon, Clyde, Bonnie, and Henry Methvin waited at an unpaved side road in Grapevine, TX for their family and friends to arrive for an Easter visit. Clyde was asleep in the backseat of their Ford V-8 while Bonnie and Henry were sat outside. Bonnie had purchased a white rabbit she was planning on gifting her mother and was feeding it blades of grass when up the road, she spotted two highway patrolmen heading their way. Acting fast, Bonnie picked up her rabbit and casually walked over to wake Clyde in the car. Henry, who was sat alone, noticed the patrolmen and reached for his gun. Clyde grabbed a sawed-off shotgun and hid behind his open car door with Henry as they observed patrolmen Wheeler and Murphy approaching on their motorcycles. Bonnie remained in the car.

Not wanting to harm the officers but to kidnap them for amusement, as it was common with the old gang, Clyde simply told Henry that they should "take them". Henry was a new recruit and mistakened what he meant, and to Clyde's surprise, opened fire at Wheeler right in the chest. Murphy, who serving his first day in the patrol force, watched in horror as he saw his partner fall lifeless on the ground from the seat of his bike. Bringing his motorcycle to a halt, the lone officer dismounted, fished two shotgun shells from his pocket, then reached for his shotgun that was strapped to his ride. Clyde was furious with Henry and was, at first, hesitant to kill off Murphy until he seen him reaching for his weapon. Before Murphy could pull the trigger, Clyde fired three rounds. When the smoke cleared, the two lawmen were laying in the dirt. The public was outraged when it came to be known that Murphy was soon to be married in 12 days. His fiance wore her wedding dress to the funeral.

Here is the story of Bonnie and Clyde

Of partners in crime

Of ride till they dies

From shootouts to cookouts

Robberies to runaways

Anything is possible with you by my side

Weather with our gang or by ourselves

From New York to Cali or anywhere else

Places and people never matter as long as we are together

We couldn’t give a damn about our bad reputations

No one ever ready for the trouble we stewed

Got the packs on our backs

As we leave a trail of destruction for those lost to find

The law was wrong, but our fight still goes on

Some will call us Robin Hoods, other abominations

To the public, we are heartless and cruel

When really we are vastly misunderstood

The gang of our friends and our family

A misfit gathering indeed

From the cards we were dealt, we were sure to rebel

No place in society for the

On the run for the rest of our lives

Never destined to be free

We may not be able to walk as we should

But we can shoot without a blink of the eye

In history they will say that we wanted this

To kill, torture, and steal

Covering up our passions

To make way for the misery, they project as our ideal

From March to October all to May

The wish to be together forever, crushed to our dismay

We knew where this would end

However, we never thought we would share forty-six or more bullets with our chairs

This was not the first time smoke has surrounded us

Our clothes still smelling of the scent of bittersweet cigs

The ringing of the shots signaling the vultures to rain down on us

Our bodies defenseless to save

We were twenty-three and twenty-five when we died

Just four short years spread between us

Those who killed us will say they did justice

Saved the great South

But to us, oh to us, they burned down two fierce loves, lives, and freedoms

So with this in mind, we hope that next time

You will think of sweet Bonnie and Clyde

After everything Thomas Barrow had put him through, John Bates was embarrassed to find out that this was the thing that made him officially hate the man.

Blockbuster Crimes (Bonnie & Clyde)

The story behind one of history’s most infamous criminal couples.

On 5 January 1930, in West Dallas, Texas, Bonnie Parker, 19, met Clyde Barrow, 21. Bonnie was a bored waitress, estranged from her jailed husband, while Clyde was a petty criminal.

They fell head over heels in love. Soon after, when Clyde was jailed for burglary, Bonnie smuggled in a gun to help him escape. He was recaptured, sent back to jail. But when he was released in February 1932, Clyde rejoined Bonnie and they stole a car, committed a string of robberies. That April, Bonnie was caught and jailed for two months.

And when she was released, she and Clyde embarked on their infamous crime spree, rampaging through Depression-era America with an ever-changing team of accomplices. They robbed banks and convenience stores, murdering anyone who got in their way.

In the summer of 1932, the couple travelled with Clyde’s boyhood friend Raymond Hamilton, although he was later jailed. That August, while Bonnie was visiting her mother, Clyde and Raymond were drinking at a country dance. Sheriff Maxwell and his deputy Eugene Moore approached them in the car park.

Clyde opened fire, killing the deputy. As their crime spree continued, they became known as the Barrow Gang. In March 1933, Clyde’s brother, Buck Barrow, was released from prison. He and his wife Blanche joined Bonnie, Clyde and their gang.

The Barrow Gang committed a string of daring robberies and made headlines across the country, particularly Bonnie - an unlikely criminal. Bonnie and Clyde even posed for playful photos, brandishing guns. However, the notorious lovers were almost caught in April 1933, when police raided their hideout.

Bonnie provided cover with a hail of bullets from her automatic rifle as the gang shot their way out. Two police officers were shot dead as the gang escaped. But the criminal couple had to leave behind most of their possessions in the hideout - including a roll of undeveloped film, containing photos subsequently released to the media.

They included the now-infamous snap of Bonnie beside a car, cigar clenched between her teeth, and pistol in her hand. Photos of the outlaws were front-page news. In June 1933, Bonnie suffered terrible burns to her right leg during a high-speed car crash.

Clyde had missed a detour sign, flipping the car into a ravine, and acid from the crushed battery melted Bonnie’s flesh to the bone. Her burns were so severe that, from then on, she limped, hopped or was carried by Clyde.

The following month, they were almost caught during a second raid on a hideout in Missouri. Buck was killed during the shootout, Blanche arrested and later jailed. But Bonnie and Clyde continued their life of crime.

In January 1934, they attacked Eastham Prison Farm in Texas, freeing five prisoners, including Raymond Hamilton. Several guards were shot, one killed by the escaping prisoners - using automatic pistols Clyde had hidden in a ditch.

As the prisoners ran, Clyde covered their retreat with bursts of machine-gun fire. After this, Texan prison officials hired special investigator Captain Frank Hamer to track down the couple.

Hamer soon traced the duo, set up an ambush. Before dawn, on 23 May 1934, Hamer and four police officers hid in bushes along a country road near Sailes, Louisiana.

When Bonnie and Clyde appeared and attempted to drive away in their stolen car, the officers opened fire - killing Bonnie and Clyde instantly. Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker and the Barrow Gang were responsible for at least 13 murders, including those of nine police officers.

And while their violent story has been romanticized - their bullet-riddled car is still on display at a hotel and casino in Primm, Nevada - they take their place as one of history’s most dangerous criminal couples.

The Movie Take

The 1967 double-Oscar-winning film Bonnie and Clyde starred Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Some criticize it as romanticized, glorifying the couple’s cold-blooded crimes.

In the film, they meet when Bonnie thwarts Clyde’s attempt to steal her mother’s car. But Bonnie’s mom said they met over a mug of hot chocolate at a friend’s. Clyde was portrayed as impotent, but was actively heterosexual.

Beatty invented this to give his film character more depth. However, Clyde really did chop off two toes in prison! In the film, the gang are ‘Robin Hood’ types, stealing from rich banks, soft on ‘regular folk’. Yet, in truth, the gang’s main targets were small-town stores and saving banks.

And, unlike real life - with the pair imprisoned for stints - the film takes place over one long, murderous spree. But, like all retellings of this infamous due - their story ends the same. The couple die in a hail of bullets.

Bonnie and Clyde's secret cabin in the piney woods of Sailes, Louisiana 1934

During their final year alive, this was somewhat like their home. They both took a liking to Louisiana after frequenting visits to see Henry Methvin's father who lived nearby. Clyde insisted that he find a secluded house for him and Bonnie as their hideout. Eventually, Henry's father came across this abandoned 4-bedroom cabin in the woods that still had furniture left behind from its previous owners, as well as some of their belongings. Clyde, Bonnie, and the rest of the gang, would all target practice behind the house where a creek was located. Fishing and swimming were their other pastimes around the property.
