The criminal couple captivates the nation
They began their legendary crime spree in 1932. Their two years on the road consisted of robberies, automobile thefts, and ultimately murders. They reportedly killed 13 people, including 9 police officers. Bonnie and Clyde belonged to the Barrow gang, which also included Clyde's brother Buck, his wife Blanche, and W.D. Jones. They traveled across the Midwest in stolen cars, shooting their way out of any attempts to capture them. Bonnie and Clyde's love story developed throughout this felonious joyride, and they often risked their lives to save the other. In the words of Clyde's sister Marie, "They never worried about anything but each other."
