John Dillinger was one of the most wanted men in America.

How much money did he get away with?

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,800
In today's money, just under $11 million.

Wow.

stole from the Lake County Sheriff's Department?

Violent and highly organized bank robbers.

a rogue with a penchant for fast cars and beautiful women.

To J. Edgar Hoover and the burgeoning FBI,

39

he was a dangerous villain and a PR nightmare.

By the time the bureau gunned Dillinger down on the streets of Chicago,

My specialty was public corruption,

and I worked financial crimes and civil rights cases,

102
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,600
participated in numerous other cases like bank robberies and kidnappings.

103

John Dillinger territory.

And I know you're a real Dillinger aficionado.

106
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,600
When did that start for you?

107
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,600
Probably when I was nine years old, when I saw the 1973 Warren Oaks movie,

108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,600
Dillinger.

109
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,600
Right.

110
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,600
In fact, Dillinger has been immortalized and somewhat romanticized

111
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,600
in at least a dozen different films, including a portrayal by Johnny Depp in 2009.

112

And is the Hollywood portrayal of him true?

113

I mean, was he all the things we think of him as?

114
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,600
He was a charismatic guy.

115
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,600
He was, you know, the whole flashy kind of, almost a celebrity, really.

116
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,600
But, you know, when you peel a couple of layers back of the onion,

117
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,600
he had a really almost a contradictory personality.

118
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,600
One hand, you know, capable of a violent crime,

119
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,600
and on the other hand, he was, you know, a likable, affable guy.

120
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,600
And this is him here?

121
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,600
Yeah, that's him right there, leaning on the prosecuting attorney.

122
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,600
This is the guy who's prosecuted?

123
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,600
That is the guy that's trying him for murder.

124
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,600
And this is Dillinger.

125
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,600
Looks like he doesn't ever care in the world.

126
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,600
Not a care in the world.

127
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,600
Right.

128
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,600
Accused of killing a police officer during a bank robbery in East Chicago,

129
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,600
Dillinger seemed to enjoy his newfound infamy.

130
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,600
And ultimately we know he breaks out of this jail.

131
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,600
Yes.

132
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,600
And what does he do when he hits the front door?

133
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,600
Well, when he hits the front door, he takes the sheriff's car.

134
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,600
I mean, he actually steals Sheriff Lillian Holly's car.

135
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,600
There's a picture of her right there.

136
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,600
And he took her car.

137
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,600
Her car.

138
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,600
Oh, no.

139
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,600
That's not good.

140
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,600
It was a Ford V8, one of the fastest cars of it today.

141
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,600
Three days later, Dillinger's robbing a bank.

142
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,600
The other thing about Dillinger that really surprised me in reading up on him

143
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,600
is how short his criminal career was.

144
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,600
Yes.

145
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,600
His whole crime spree is how long?

146
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,600
Just a little over a year.

147
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,600
In that one year, how many banks does he knock over?

148
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,600
12 for certain, OK?

149
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,600
He was accused in as many as 24.

150
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,600
How much money did he get away with?

151
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,600
Just over $600,000, which in today's money is just under $11 million.

152
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,600
And there's actually a good portion of it that was never recovered.

153
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,600
Now, one of the reasons I'm very excited to meet you

154
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,600
is that I know that you've been looking into this question of his lost money

155
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,600
and that you have an idea where it might be.

156
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,600
I do.

157
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,600
A good idea?

158
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,600
I think it's a very good and fruitful idea.

159
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,600
OK.

160
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,600
I'm very interested in that.

161
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,600
And the other thing I'm interested in is how did Dillinger pull off

162
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,600
stealing $11 million?

163
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,600
Well, at each bank robbery, each gang member had their own specific assignment.

164
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,600
And it was carried out with a very strict schedule.

165
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,600
Right.

166
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,600
You know, we're only going to be in the vault for three minutes,

167
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,600
in and out, in and out.

168
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,600
He's taking bank robbery and he's turning it into a science.

169
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,600
Absolutely.

170
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,600
Like a real live Ocean's Eleven, meticulous planning went into every heist.

171
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,600
They would case targets and follow a coordinated timetable.

172
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,600
Dillinger would vault over bank counters, earning him the nickname Jackrabbit.

173
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,600
But to reveal what really gave the gang their edge,

174
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,600
Stewart leads me to the current Lake County Police Headquarters

175
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,600
for a very special meeting with the sheriff.

176
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,600

00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,600
How are you?

182
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,600
I'm great.

183
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,600
Thanks.

184
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,600
Well, I think you're going to be really interested to see what we have here for you.

185
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,600
OK.

186
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,600
What do we have?

187
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,600
OK.

188
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,600
The Thompson Submachine Gun.

189
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Oh!

190
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Here, in the heart of the police training center,

191
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,600
the vault has opened on a piece of American criminal history.

192
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,600
So this is one of the guns that John Dillinger stole

193
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,600
from the Lake County Sheriff's Department during his escape.

194
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,600
Like the actual gun?

195
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,600
Yes.

196
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,600
Wow.

197
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,600
How would you like to give it a try?

198
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,600
It fires?

199
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,600
Absolutely.

200
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,600
Uh, yes.

201
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,600
Everybody should back away.

202
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Developed for trench warfare in World War I,

203
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,600
the Tommy Gun was embraced by organized crime during prohibition,

204
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,600
earning it the nickname the Chicago Typewriter.

205
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,600
The drum magazine holds 50, 45 caliber bullets.

206
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,600
It is on safe right now.

207
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,600
Yep.

208
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,600
That means you cannot pull the trigger back.

209
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,600
Flip this around, now the gun can fire.

210
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,600
OK.

211
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,600
You are in single shot mode.

212
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,600
Copy.

213
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,600
It is all yours.

214
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,600
Thanks, sir.

215
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,600
Now, Stuart, what's your confidence here in me at this point?

216
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,600
Uh, about a three.

217
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,600
Out of five?

218
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,600
Out of ten.

219
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Oh, Jesus.

220
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,600
Dead on.

221
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,600
Safe? Good job.

222
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,600
I mean, I'm doing all right.

223
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Josh, I think you're ready for sniper school.

224
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,600
Yeah?

225
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,600
Yeah.

226
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,600
After a few single fire test rounds.

227
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,600
OK, we're going to full auto.

228
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,600
Yes, sir.

229
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,600
It's time to say hello to my little friend.

230
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:10,600
Set to fully automatic, this 1921 model can pump out a staggering 900 rounds a minute,

231
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,600
shredding everything in its path.

232
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,600
Oh, good job.

233
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,600
So, Josh, you see how powerful this weapon is.

234
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,600
Oh, it's crazy.

235
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,600
So, just imagine that the Dillinger Gang was going up against cops and guards who were

236
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,600
carrying 38 special revolvers.

237
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,600
Right.

238
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,600
Yeah, like a P-shooter essentially compared to that.

239
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,600
You're actually holding history in your hand.

240
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,600
That's not lost on me, that the experience of firing a gun, you know, that the Dillinger

241
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,600
himself may have fired.

242
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,600
Exactly.

243
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600
It connects you to the past in a really primal way.

244
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,600
Yes.

245
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,600
All right, so now I understand how Dillinger stole all this money.

246
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,600
Yes.

247
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,600
So, let's get back to the other question.

248
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,600
OK.

249
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,600
Where is it?

250
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,600
I'll show you.

251
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,600
It's just that easy?

252
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,600
It's that easy.

253
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,600
And I think for everybody's safety, I'm going to give this back to you now.

254
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,600
There you go.

255
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,600
Perfect.

256
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,600
Cheers.

257
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Thanks, sir.

258
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,600
Thank you.

259
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,600
So, with meticulous planning and military grade weaponry, the Dillinger Gang made off with

260
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,600
a fortune in cash and bonds, much of it lost to history.

261
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,600
Now, Stuart's working with investigators who've unearthed a new lead, 150 miles south

262
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,600
of Crown Point in Moorsville, Indiana.

263
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,600
John Dillinger's hometown.

264
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:38,600
When we think about people like Dillinger, we don't think of him as a kid, as a boy.

265
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Yes.

266
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,600
What was his childhood like?

267
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,600
I think Dillinger was a restless child.

268
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,600
I think he was rebellious.

269
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:50,600
Dillinger had actually kind of started running with, I think, what his father thought was

270
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,600
a bad element.

271
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:57,600
Dillinger was born in the city of Indianapolis in 1903, but his father then moved the family

272
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,600
here to the country.

273
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,600
But it wasn't enough to keep John out of trouble.

274
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,600
In 1924, Dillinger commits his first serious crime.

275
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:12,600
Along with his buddy Ed Singleton, Dillinger knocks over a local grocery store, badly beating

276
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,600
the owner.

277
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600
The judge throws the book at him.

278
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:22,100
Just 21 years old, John Dillinger is sentenced to 10 to 20 years for assault and battery

279
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:23,600
with intent to rob.

280
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,600
When he's finally paroled at the age of 30, he emerges a fully formed criminal.

281
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,600
So it's like this one event at this grocery store completely alters the course of his

282
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,600
life.

283
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,600
Yes.

284
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:44,600
In prison, John Dillinger hooks up with seasoned bank robbers, handsome Harry Pierpont and

285
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,520
Fat Charles Makley.

286
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,600
The gang later recruits notorious killer Babyface Nelson.

287
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:56,180
Dillinger becomes a Depression-era Robin Hood, celebrated for sticking it to the man by sticking

288
00:12:56,180 --> 00:13:02,940
up banks.

289
00:13:02,940 --> 00:13:05,000
But fame has its price.

290
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,960
After a string of bank robberies, he is again caught and captured and sent to Crown Point

291
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,540
for trial.

292
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:17,480
After his infamous jailbreak, where he makes off with the sheriff's car, Dillinger rendezvous

293
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,320
with his girlfriend Evelyn Billy Frichette.

294
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,260
He decided to go to his family farm.

295
00:13:24,260 --> 00:13:25,260
He went home.

296
00:13:25,260 --> 00:13:26,260
He went home.

297
00:13:26,260 --> 00:13:27,260
Okay.

298
00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:28,260
Home is where the heart is.

299
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:29,760
You know, it also might be where the money is.

300
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Uh-huh.

301
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,040
So we're going to the Dillinger Farm.

302
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,000
We're going to the Dillinger Farm.

303
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,040
I'm eager to hear what Stewart has uncovered here, and just past the house where John spent

304
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,920
his formative years and where he posed for a now famous portrait when he returned home

305
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:50,080
on April 8th, 1934.

306
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,200
I meet Stewart's investigation team.

307
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,200
Hey, guys.

308
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,200
Hey, guys.

309
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,200
Hey.

310
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,200
Hey.

311
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,200
Josh, this is Shane.

312
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,200
Shane.

313
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,200
Nice to meet you.

314
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,200
Mike.

315
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,200
Mike.

316
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,200
And Travis.

317
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,200
Hey, how are you?

318
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,600
Hidden here at the farm?

319
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,600
Absolutely.

320
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,600
Okay.

321
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,960
I mean, look, logically that makes sense.

322
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,040
Question is, is there any evidence to support that?

323
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,040
Oh, yeah, there is.

324
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,040
There is.

325
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,040
There definitely is.

326
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,240
Well, we found something that justifies what we're talking about.

327
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,240
You want to see it?

328
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Yes, I want to see it.

329
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,240
Here it is.

330
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,520
You found a broken jar.

331
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,640
What's inside was the big deal.

332
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,080
What was in this?

333
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,080
This was inside this jar.

334
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,320
Inside the jar.

335
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,920
Are you kidding me?

336
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,960
Infamous bank robber John Dillinger is rumored to have stashed cash and savings bonds on his

337
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,920
father's farm in Moorsville, Indiana.

338
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:56,400
Now, a search team being led by ex-FBI agent Stewart Fillmore is on the case.

339
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,600
You think there might be something significant hidden here at the farm?

340
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,600
Yes, we do.

341
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,600
We do.

342
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:07,040
We think the best source is legend from the Dillinger family themselves.

343
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,680
Mike Thompson is Dillinger's nephew and Travis is his great nephew.

344
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,680
Really?

345
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,200
I'm the closest living relative other than my sister that can say, you know, John's

346
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,200
father is our grandfather.

347
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,200
Wow.

348
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,200
You're not going to rob me, are you?

349
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,200
Not yet.

350
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,200
Okay.

351
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,920
This was a family story that there was money hidden here at the farm.

352
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,960
Yeah, there was always stories amongst the family that there definitely could have been

353
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,320
money hidden.

354
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,520
With generations of family reports that loot was buried on the farm, the team begins to

355
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,480
search the property.

356
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,320
Stewart Shovel smashed a buried mason jar.

357
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,160
What they found inside may rewrite the story of public enemy number one.

358
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,160
Are you kidding me?

359
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,920
A 1934 Shell Roadmap.

360
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,920
This was inside this jar?

361
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,920
Inside the jar.

362
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,840
And do we know anything about the jar?

363
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,320
It's also from the same time period.

364
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,040
It was manufactured between 1923 and 1933.

365
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,520
Can you dug this up where?

366
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,280
Just a few feet from here on the property.

367
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,160
This is so crazy to me.

368
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,000
Be prepared to look back in history.

369
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
You ready?

370
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,440
Oh, look at this.

371
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,440
Yep.

372
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,440
It's marked up.

373
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,440
It is.

374
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,160
Okay, so we've got this blue line that goes all over, I mean, really top to bottom.

375
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Yes.

376
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,880
Across the middle part of the country here.

377
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,240
And it goes through where?

378
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,600
That's Great Falls, Montana.

379
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,440
Great Falls, Montana up into Winnipeg, Canada.

380
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,000
South through Iowa, Kansas City, Wichita.

381
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,120
And then a bunch of things coming out of Little Rock.

382
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,520
That seem to form an arrow.

383
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,520
Oh, this you mean?

384
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,040
You can see it really well.

385
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,360
And then are these all dates?

386
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,360
Yes.

387
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,880
August 4th, July 29th, July 14th, June 22nd.

388
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,600
I mean, did these dates line up to robberies or significant events?

389
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,520
June 22nd, that's his birthday.

390
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,680
That can't be an accident.

391
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,840
But the other dates do not match up to any known bank robberies.

392
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,760
Did this have been a future route of banks they wanted to hit or something?

393
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Impossible.

394
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:02,760
It was buried for a reason.

395
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Yeah.

396
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,760
He didn't want this found.

397
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,760
Right.

398
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:06,760
So what is it hiding?

399
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,880
What's its meaning?

400
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,400
This is an astounding artifact.

401
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,400
It is.

402
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,440
But how do we know it's his?

403
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:21,000
The same weekend that John and Billy came here, John took a trip with his brother, Hubert.

404
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,760
Hubert, who was driving, fell asleep and wrecked the car.

405
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,120
And the FBI and the Indiana State Police found the wreck.

406
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:37,720
They recovered a 1934 Indiana shell roadmap that had strange numbers written on it.

407
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,000
There was another shell map with weird markings on it.

408
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Yes.

409
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Found in a Dillinger car.

410
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Yes.

411
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,000
It was a car that absolutely.

412
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
I mean, your home.

413
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Yes.

414
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Your home.

415
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Yes.

416
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
That's amazing.

417
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,640
This really has an excellent chance of being an authentic part of this Dillinger story.

418
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,280
This is really, really cool.

419
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,880
It's an untold story.

420
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,200
And especially with the stories that money was buried on this farm, that may mean that

421
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,920
there's more here to find.

422
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:09,720
That's actually the next stage of our investigation is to scan with GPR, ground penetrating radar,

423
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,560
metal detected, and really do a thorough search.

424
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,560
I'm ready to work.

425
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,560
Let's go.

426
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,560
Everybody pick up a shovel.

427
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,360
Come on.

428
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:22,920
We gear up to scour the old Dillinger property.

429
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:28,280
With a ton of ground to cover, we divide and conquer.

430
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:33,200
Mike and I work our way along the edge of the property while Stuart, Shane, and Travis

431
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,200
search in what used to be the Dillinger orchard.

432
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,880
Got a good hit here.

433
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:45,200
Let's get a shovel in here and see what we got.

434
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:52,280
Let's see right there.

435
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,360
And soon Shane's team gets a hit as well.

436
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:56,360
Right there.

437
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:57,360
You dig right where that's at?

438
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:00,360
Yeah, right in the center, right about where that leaf is.

439
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:04,880
What do you got?

440
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,880
There's something.

441
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,880
I keep hitting it.

442
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:15,880
It's down in this hole.

443
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,880
Got something here.

444
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,880
Hey, I found a nut.

445
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:22,880
There it is.

446
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:23,880
A wrench.

447
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,880
Found a wrench.

448
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:25,880
Found a wrench.

449
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,240
We're one volt away from a home improvement project right now.

450
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,040
Man, it looks pretty old to me.

451
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,560
This is about where the barn was.

452
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,560
Okay.

453
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,120
Could have been granddad's tool.

454
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:37,120
That would make sense.

455
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:38,120
Yeah.

456
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:39,120
Well, we're finding stuff.

457
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:44,840
It's a start.

458
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,800
Our detectors keep beeping.

459
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,360
Yeah, we got a hit here.

460
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:53,360
But all we pull out of the ground is scrap metal.

461
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:58,360
Nail.

462
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:03,680
To kick this search into high gear, Shane is bringing out the big guns, ground penetrating

463
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,680
radar.

464
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,200
They're radio waves.

465
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,720
They generate from the box.

466
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,960
They go down.

467
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,320
Once they hit an object, it bounces back up and displays on our screen.

468
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,480
We're looking for evidence of ground that's been churned up or something might have been

469
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,480
buried.

470
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,760
Here in Indiana, this kind of soil, you're typically able to see down about how far?

471
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Four to six feet.

472
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:30,240
Four to six feet.

473
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,000
Stewart and his team continue to search with metal detectors, working their way into a

474
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,240
gully the bulky radar can't reach, while I run tracks on the flat ground.

475
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,240
Oh, wow.

476
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,240
Big hit.

477
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,480
Oh, look at that.

478
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,360
Even I can tell that that is an anomaly.

479
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:55,400
We're looking at right about two feet down.

480
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,520
We got something over here.

481
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,520
The Ginger Beard Club is on fire today.

482
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,880
I think it was a good chance, by the way, that Mike and I might be related.

483
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,800
Does anybody else see that?

484
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,160
The signature is strong.

485
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,760
So we dig it right away.

486
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:13,760
Something there.

487
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,920
Okay, let's see what we got here.

488
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,120
Is a giant rock.

489
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:23,120
Okay.

490
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:32,160
We flag more anomalies with the radar.

491
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,160
Hit something.

492
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:36,680
Huge rock.

493
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,680
And unearth more buried boulders.

494
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,680
Is what that is.

495
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:49,320
Can you guys just dig a hole big enough for me and just lay me down on it?

496
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,320
Is that possible?

497
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,320
Sure.

498
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,320
Appreciate that.

499
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,800
Meanwhile, in the ravine.

500
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,360
All right, what do we got here?

501
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:58,360
Is that a bee?

502
00:21:58,360 --> 00:21:59,360
That is a bee.

503
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:00,360
Look at that.

504
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:01,360
Oh, yeah.

505
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:03,600
Stewart for Josh, come in.

506
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,600
Go for Josh.

507
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,880
Josh, can you come down to the gully?

508
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,720
We found something really exciting.

509
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,720
You've got to see it.

510
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,920
We've got an intact mason jar.

511
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,920
Okay, I'm coming down.

512
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:13,920
I'll be right back.

513
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:14,920
Okay, I'm coming.

514
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,920
I'm away.

515
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,360
Josh, you've got to see this.

516
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:21,360
Look.

517
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:22,360
Oh, look at that.

518
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:23,360
It's the exact same guy.

519
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,360
It's the exact same one.

520
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:25,360
Look.

521
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,720
Well, that's incredible.

522
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,200
We want to be as delicate as we can to pull this out.

523
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,640
So we're going to dig around it very, very carefully and brush as we go and remove this

524
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,080
dirt.

525
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,080
We got another jar.

526
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,000
And there's another jar beside it.

527
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,360
It looks to be substantially intact as well.

528
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:45,360
Look, right here.

529
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,360
We've got to lid on this.

530
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:48,360
Oh, wow.

531
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:49,860
Oh, wow.

532
00:22:49,860 --> 00:22:55,240
The team has uncovered a cache of ball jars from the Dillinger era, mere feet from where

533
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,840
the mysterious map was discovered.

534
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,040
It looks clear underneath.

535
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Yeah.

536
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,040
Come on.

537
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,040
I can pull on a fish out of the water.

538
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,040
Come on, you got it.

539
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,040
You got it.

540
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,040
There it is.

541
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,040
Look at that.

542
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,920
That's just awesome.

543
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,120
Isn't that great?

544
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:13,120
That's awesome.

545
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,040
That is the same color as the map jar.

546
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,040
That's amazing.

547
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,040
Yeah.

548
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,040
Yeah.

549
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,400
OK, so I'm going to hand this to you very carefully.

550
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,600
That jar could have been down there at least 87 years.

551
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,960
Do you see anything in there?

552
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,600
No, but there's a lot of compacted dirt still in there.

553
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Right.

554
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,800
But it doesn't look like anything significant to it.

555
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,800
No.

556
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,800
No.

557
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,000
We've got another one next to it here that's a lot looser.

558
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Smaller.

559
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Yeah.

560
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Yeah.

561
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,280
Intact with the lid on.

562
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,120
It's a little bit of debris in the bottom.

563
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:46,120
It almost looked like two pieces of metal.

564
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:47,120
Ooh.

565
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,000
I can't believe you can turn that.

566
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Yeah.

567
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Yeah.

568
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:58,320
The fact that it's in this kind of condition is just absolutely remarkable.

569
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,760
See what else is in this hole.

570
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,920
Beneath the first three jars, we find shattered glass and compelling evidence that something

571
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:07,920
was hidden inside.

572
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:08,920
A cloth here.

573
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,920
Oh, wow.

574
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:10,920
Look at this.

575
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,920
Is it inside a jar?

576
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:13,920
Yes.

577
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,920
Yes, it was in glass.

578
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,920
So this is the bottom of a jar.

579
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,440
This was potentially in a jar.

580
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,920
Like stuff down in a jar.

581
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:21,920
Uh-huh.

582
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,920
There's metal right beneath it.

583
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:24,920
Oh, hold on.

584
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:25,920
I got metal.

585
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:26,920
Metal, metal, metal.

586
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,920
Is that a coin?

587
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,920
Oh, we got a coin, I think.

588
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,920
Ooh, look at that.

589
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,920
Maybe.

590
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:31,920
Yep.

591
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,920
Look at that.

592
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:43,400
On John Dillinger's family farm in Indiana, we're searching for missing loot and artifacts

593
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,920
left behind by America's most legendary bank robber.

594
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:47,920
Is that a coin?

595
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:48,920
Oh, we got a coin, I think.

596
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:49,920
That's it, right there.

597
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:50,920
That's unbelievable.

598
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,920
No, it's not a coin.

599
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,920
It's too wide to be a coin.

600
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,920
You know what that is?

601
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:54,920
That is a shotgun shell.

602
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,920
That's the back of a case.

603
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:56,920
That's exactly.

604
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,920
That primer cap has been dented in, which means this was found in a jar.

605
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,920
This isn't a modern shotgun shell.

606
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:03,920
Exactly.

607
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,920
What does it say on the head stamp?

608
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,920
Winchester repeater.

609
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,920
20 gauge.

610
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,920
20 gauge, right there, in the middle.

611
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:10,920
20 gauge.

612
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,920
That is insane.

613
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:19,920
This style shotgun shell was produced from 1896 to 1938, which puts us right in the heart

614
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,920
of the Dillinger era.

615
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,920
When you think Dillinger, you think guns.

616
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:25,920
You think guns.

617
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,920
I mean, you do.

618
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:27,920
You do.

619
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,920
Dillinger himself and his father may have shot this.

620
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,920
Well, it makes it personal.

621
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,920
The closest thing to shaking their hand is pulling the side of the ground.

622
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:42,920
He is this criminal villain mastermind, whatever you want to call him, but he's not.

623
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:43,920
He's not.

624
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,920
He's not.

625
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,920
He's not.

626
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,920
He's not.

627
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,920
He's not.

628
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:48,920
He's not.

629
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,920
He's not a criminal villain mastermind, whatever you want to call him, but he also was a kid

630
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,920
out at this farm.

631
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,920
I mean, he was a teenager out here.

632
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:57,920
That's right.

633
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,920
I have to ask the two of you, especially as family members, Dillinger kind of has this

634
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,920
reputation sometimes as like a Robin Hood character.

635
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,920
How do you see him?

636
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,920
If he hadn't gotten such a raw deal the first time he went to jail.

637
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:09,920
Because he did almost 10 years, right?

638
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,920
Took his young adult life away from him.

639
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,920
Right.

640
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,760
that Dillinger got a raw deal or a strict sentence

641
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,960
for what he did was felt in the town,

642
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,240
so much so that they signed a petition

643
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,040
to try to lower his sentence.

644
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,840
So you see him as kind of a product of the system.

645
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,680
Yeah, basically.

646
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,140
He came out hardened from jail.

647
00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:28,840
Exactly.

648
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,920
Newsreel footage of Dillinger's father

649
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,240
from after John's visit to the farm

650
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,720
reveals the emotional toll the crime spree took on the family.

651
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,480
I don't know where my son John is at.

652
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,280
If John could be exonerated from this crime

653
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,480
and come back home, I think he'd bet

654
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,520
a good citizen or a good officer of some kind.

655
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,680
This is something really special.

656
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,280
It is.

657
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,920
So there you go, a little piece of family history right there.

658
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,920
Pretty cool.

659
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,640
This farm is like, it's like a history book.

660
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:57,920
It is.

661
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,440
And we're just peeling one page at a time out of the ground.

662
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:00,680
Exactly.

663
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,640
So there's more to be done here.

664
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,600
I agree.

665
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,240
The Moresville team will continue

666
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,760
to investigate the Dillinger family farm

667
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,960
in hopes of a big payoff.

668
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,440
Meanwhile, Stewart is making preparations

669
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,120
to pull on another loose thread in the case,

670
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:18,560
hundreds of miles away.

671
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,280
Before I join him there, I'm making a detour

672
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,440
to one of Dillinger's favorite haunts, the Windy City.

673
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,480
I pull over in Lincoln Park, the location of the final scene

674
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,120
in Dillinger's outlaw life.

675
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:37,120
The Biograph Theater, July 22, 1934.

676
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,120
Dillinger's out for a night on the town

677
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:40,960
and he takes in a picture show.

678
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,120
But the FBI has been tipped off.

679
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:47,240
And when he exits the building, they make their move.

680
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:53,200
G-Man Melvin Purvis gives the signal, lighting his cigar.

681
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,520
Bullets fly.

682
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,680
And when the dust settles, John Dillinger

683
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,280
is dead at the age of 31.

684
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,800
This alley, right in this spot, is where public enemy number

685
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,320
one met his end.

686
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,960
Today, memorialized by a mural.

687
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,000
The authorities found a mere $7.70 in Dillinger's pocket,

688
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,800
which means there is a fortune in bonds and cash still

689
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,120
unaccounted for.

690
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:21,080
So where did it go?

691
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Well, we're headed north to find out.

692
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,920
Following in Dillinger's footsteps

693
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,960
and a new lead from ex-FBI agent, Stewart Fillmore,

694
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,720
I head five and a half hours north of Chicago

695
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,920
to Manitouish Waters, Wisconsin.

696
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,320
On a quiet road, I turn onto a treeline drive,

697
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,280
which leads to a hidden and historic gem, a lakeside

698
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,200
lodge known as Little Bohemia.

699
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,680
On the lam, Dillinger arrived here in April of 1934.

700
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,000
He was hoping for a little R&R, but it was the last thing

701
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,240
he'd find here.

702
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,680
Hey, long time no see.

703
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,400
Hey, Josh.

704
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,320
What's going on, man?

705
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,200
How are you?

706
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:00,800
Hey, I'm Josh.

707
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Hey, Josh Dan.

708
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:01,800
Nice to meet you.

709
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,720
Nice to meet you, too.

710
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,920
So Josh, this is Dan Johns Jr.

711
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,040
His folks, Dan and Debbie Johns, actually

712
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,480
own Little Bohemia.

713
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,360
This is a place that looms large in the Dillinger story.

714
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,000
Very much so.

715
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:12,640
Very much.

716
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,280
We're pretty far from Morrisville.

717
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,040
Why up here?

718
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,560
For that very reason, it's remote.

719
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:16,760
Right.

720
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,480
This is way off the beaten path for where the Dillinger gang

721
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,680
was running.

722
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,240
A rogues' gallery of Dillinger associates

723
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,440
made the trek to Little Bohemia, including Babyface Nelson,

724
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,320
John Red Hamilton, and gangster groupies

725
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,640
the press dubbed Gunmalls.

726
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,520
But ultimately, he doesn't lay low

727
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,000
because things go bad up here, right?

728
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,480
Things go real bad up here.

729
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,680
How does it go bad?

730
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,560
Well, if you want to come inside, I can show you.

731
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:41,240
You can show me.

732
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:41,740
Yep.

733
00:29:41,740 --> 00:29:42,240
Nice.

734
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,160
Lead on.

735
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,440
Inside, the historic lodge is like a time capsule.

736
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,760
It might also be my new favorite bar,

737
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,920
preserved in all of its gangster-era glory.

738
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,680
Just be careful what shots you order.

739
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,720
Here we have some of the things that the gang left behind

740
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,280
because they had left in a pretty big hurry.

741
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,320
These are original items?

742
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,400
They are.

743
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,920
Oh, come on.

744
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,360
So this is one of the gang members' toiletry kits?

745
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,200
Complete with X-Lacks.

746
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:10,920
Look at that.

747
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,920
They were smooth criminals.

748
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:13,760
I'm sorry.

749
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,320
This one's even still packed.

750
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:15,800
Oh.

751
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,480
Wow.

752
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:16,760
Wow.

753
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:17,680
These are their clothes.

754
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,080
They are.

755
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,200
Wow.

756
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,760
This is mind-melting to see original clothing and items

757
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,400
from the gang.

758
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Now, all this stuff is here because the gang ended up

759
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,840
high-tailing it out of here, right?

760
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,480
Correct.

761
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,240
So what happens?

762
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,800
The FBI raided this place.

763
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,480
It was actually the owner's wife that tipped him off.

764
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,240
With Dillinger and his gang becoming

765
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,040
feared national celebrities, the locals here

766
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,240
get nervous and tip off the FBI.

767
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,680
Desperate to collar Dillinger, the bureau rushes

768
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,920
to little Bohemia.

769
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,960
Their intelligence is that the gang is about to leave

770
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,960
imminently.

771
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,560
When they roll up, there are three people leaving.

772
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,240
A quick decision was made, and they open fire on the car.

773
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,920
Tragically, it was three civilians,

774
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,280
and one of them was killed.

775
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,800
Wow.

776
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,120
Alerted by the sound of gunfire and barking dogs,

777
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,640
Dillinger slips out a back window.

778
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,560
In the chaotic events that follow,

779
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,440
an FBI agent is gunned down.

780
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:17,320
Take a look here, Josh.

781
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Some of the original bullet holes

782
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,960
are in the window behind us.

783
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,960
This is from the gunfight?

784
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,840
Correct, it is.

785
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,120
They are all shot up.

786
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:25,880
Look at these.

787
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,840
Oh, man.

788
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,560
This lodge was just getting hammered.

789
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,280
Yes.

790
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,280
Wow.

791
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,160
And the FBI gets none of them?

792
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,120
None of them.

793
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,400
They all get away.

794
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,920
Over and over again, Dillinger gets out of situations.

795
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:39,320
He does.

796
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,280
No right to survive.

797
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,080
That's exactly right.

798
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,280
He's the jackrabbit.

799
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,360
So they leave everything behind, including the loot?

800
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,680
They didn't take it with them.

801
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,600
Well, what we know is there's a statement

802
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,800
from gang member John Hamilton's girlfriend.

803
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,480
Her name was Pat Sherrington.

804
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,640
She told a reporter that there was a suitcase buried here

805
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,400
with a large amount of cash in it.

806
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,640
They were here for several days.

807
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,520
So they had plenty of time to do this.

808
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,240
This is more than a rumor.

809
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:03,720
It is.

810
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,000
It's actually this statement.

811
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,040
From an eyewitness.

812
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,880
Also, we know that the gang escaped toward the lake, right?

813
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,560
So if they had something that they wanted to get rid of,

814
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,160
it's better that the lake gets it than the cops get it, right?

815
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,400
So either on land or in the water.

816
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,360
We decide to start our search in Little Star Lake,

817
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,400
directly behind the lodge.

818
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,080
Until recently, the lake was covered in ice.

819
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,120
So we called in reinforcements.

820
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,520
What's going on?

821
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,840
Josh, you remember these guys?

822
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:31,440
Oh, yes.

823
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,120
I have PTSD from these guys.

824
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:33,680
What's going on?

825
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,640
Good to see you.

826
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,480
Dan Carlson is an ice diving expert.

827
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,080
And as far as I'm concerned, a sadist.

828
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,960
We nearly froze to death looking for a lost pair of ruby

829
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,800
slippers from the Wizard of Oz.

830
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,400
Dan's terrific dive team and ROV pilots Dave Phillips

831
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,280
and Tom Crossman are the best in the business.

832
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,520
And now we're ready to brave another frigid lake.

833
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,920
Weather's a lot nicer today.

834
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:57,320
Yes.

835
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,840
It's warmer here.

836
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,160
The water, though, ice was on here two days ago.

837
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,720
So I didn't catch too much of a break.

838
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,000
To avoid hypothermia, we bundle up in dry suits,

839
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,360
while Tom, Dave, and Stuart set up an ROV

840
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,160
equipped with sonar to help guide us to potential targets.

841
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,400
We're also armed with metal detectors

842
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,960
as we make the long, cold walk off the end of a short pier.

843
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:24,960
Follow me.

844
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:25,960
Right behind you.

845
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,520
Josh, Stuart, come in.

846
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,080
Josh, go for Stuart.

847
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,200
We are on the bottom and beginning our search.

848
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,280
Water's real cold down here.

849
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,320
Visibility is maybe a couple feet in depth.

850
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,960
I think it's going to be pretty slow going.

851
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,440
We're just going to see what we can see.

852
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,400
Hey, Josh, I've got something here.

853
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,160
What do you got?

854
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,800
It looks like an old oar lock from a robo.

855
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,080
It's definitely old because it was sunk pretty deep.

856
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,760
I'd like to think this is a Dillinger gang

857
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,040
rowing their loot out here.

858
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,080
But the truth is, we have no idea when this is from.

859
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,320
With just four feet of visibility,

860
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,680
we're operating almost in the blind,

861
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,240
so the sonar acts as our eyes.

862
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:28,520
Hey, we got something right there.

863
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,800
See it?

864
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,120
Hey, Josh, we've got a really good hit.

865
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,640
It's about 30 feet from you.

866
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,200
Maybe you're one o'clock.

867
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:36,800
Copy that.

868
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:37,800
What is it?

869
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,760
Can't tell, but it is really interesting.

870
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,320
It's got a unique shape to it.

871
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,400
OK, we'll flip over.

872
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,200
Dillinger is said to have chucked a container filled

873
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:49,680
with cash into the drink.

874
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,240
That is clearly man-made.

875
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:57,120
Look at this.

876
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,000
Look at this, Dad.

877
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,920
Check this out.

878
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,560
Now, when it looks like a drum, definitely

879
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,560
man-made some kind of canister.

880
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,560
Now, we're just getting in place with the ROV.

881
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,960
I can see it too, Josh.

882
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:09,520
It does.

883
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,720
It looks exactly like some kind of canister.

884
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:13,840
Incredible.

885
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,480
Guys, it looks intact.

886
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,920
I'm searching for John Dillinger's legendary Lost Loot

887
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,880
in a lake behind Little Bohemia Lodge in northern Wisconsin.

888
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:30,880
Look at this, Dad.

889
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,280
Check this out.

890
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,160
Now, when it looks like a drum, definitely

891
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,480
man-made some kind of canister.

892
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,480
Incredible.

893
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,480
Guys, it looks intact.

894
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,480
You throw a lid on it, and you get into it.

895
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,480
It feels really good.

896
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:48,760
It feels really solid.

897
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:52,760
Let me see if we can move it.

898
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:53,760
Stand by.

899
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,760
It's heavy as hell.

900
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,760
The bottom side here almost feels like concrete.

901
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,760
That's what it looks like.

902
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:04,760
Josh, what is it?

903
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,760
I think the core of this is concrete.

904
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,760
Is that rebar?

905
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,760
It looks like it used to be a loop.

906
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,760
I think that rebar is for a rope or something.

907
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,760
No, and I hate to break this deal.

908
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,760
I think we might be looking at a big, boring weight.

909
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,760
Yeah, it's starting to look like that.

910
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,760
All right, Dad, let's keep searching.

911
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,360
We continue to scour the bottom until we've covered

912
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,360
the entire shoreline along Little Bohemia Lodge.

913
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,360
So I think if there is loot up here somewhere,

914
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,360
I feel pretty confident saying it's not out in the water.

915
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,360
That's what it looks like.

916
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,360
With no other leads down here, we return topside to warm up.

917
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,360
After drying off, Stuart and I reunite with Lodge owner Dan Johns.

918
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,360
According to a historic eyewitness account,

919
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,360
Dillinger buried cash somewhere on this property.

920
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,360
So we grab metal detectors and head off into the woods.

921
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,360
Okay, so how much land you got here?

922
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,360
About 13 acres.

923
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,360
13 acres, okay.

924
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,360
Yeah.

925
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,360
Where do we start?

926
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,360
Around the lodge?

927
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,360
We know from one of the gang members' girlfriends,

928
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,360
Pat Sherrington, that supposedly this suitcase of money

929
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,360
was buried near two pines and an oak.

930
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,360
Wow, I see a lot of pines.

931
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:25,360
There's a lot of pines.

932
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,360
We don't have as many oaks, though, and that does kind of ring a bell.

933
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,360
There was a jumbo oak back there with a couple pines next to it.

934
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,360
You want to show us where those oaks are?

935
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,360
Absolutely, let's go.

936
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,360
Let's go take a look.

937
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,360
Dan takes us to a grove that fits Sherrington's description

938
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,360
of where Dillinger buried the suitcase filled with cash.

939
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,360
So right in this area, there was a really large oak

940
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,360
that fell over in a storm, and we cleaned it up.

941
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,360
And if you notice, there's two old pine trees

942
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,360
that kind of have grown together there.

943
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,360
Right, I think it's just kind of divide and conquer.

944
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,360
Let's just check out this whole area.

945
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,360
Yeah.

946
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,360
The metal detectors start beeping right away.

947
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,360
Right on it, right here.

948
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,360
It's just an old piece of a beer can.

949
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,360
Dillinger's a big beer drinker.

950
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,360
Yep.

951
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,360
What do you make of that?

952
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,360
Looks like a bearing of some sort.

953
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:13,360
It's tough searching.

954
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,360
The property is littered with scraps of metal

955
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,360
from cabins torn down long ago.

956
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,360
We got a genuine historic nail.

957
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,360
Ah, nuts.

958
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,360
Working our way along the footpath,

959
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,360
we continue to scour the woods,

960
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,360
and eventually, we emerge near the dock,

961
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,360
where we get the most promising sounding hit of the day.

962
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,360
Got a good hit here.

963
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,360
Still there.

964
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,360
What do you got?

965
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,360
This is good.

966
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,360
Whatever this is, it's like, this is down a ways.

967
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,360
Wow, it's sliding up the whole thing there.

968
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,360
I like the depth.

969
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,360
I like the sound of the hit.

970
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,360
I mean, I got a good feeling about this.

971
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,360
Ooh.

972
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,360
Oh.

973
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,360
We got something metal, hollow, and deep.

974
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,360
So, yeah, I mean, we're two feet down.

975
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,360
You know, I mean, whatever this is has been here a long time.

976
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,360
Let's see what's in here.

977
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,360
Oh, you can see it.

978
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:24,360
Look at that.

979
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:25,360
Oh, it's there.

980
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,360
Oh, wow.

981
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,360
Josh, it actually sounds hollow.

982
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,360
It does sound hollow.

983
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:30,360
What is that?

984
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,360
Careful not to damage the artifact.

985
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,360
We glove up and slowly excavate around it.

986
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,360
Is it some kind of container?

987
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,360
Why don't we take a little bit of a bigger hole here

988
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,360
and see if we can get access to it on that side.

989
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,360
Oh, you're moving it.

990
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,360
I got it.

991
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:49,360
I got it.

992
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,360
He's got it.

993
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,360
Oh, look at this.

994
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,360
Here we go.

995
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,360
Here we go.

996
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,360
There we go.

997
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,360
One, two, three.

998
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,360
Yes, that's it.

999
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,360
At Northern Wisconsin's notorious gangster hideaway

1000
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,360
little Bohemia Lodge, even the menu is Dillinger themed.

1001
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,360
How are the babyface ribs?

1002
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,360
Dangerous.

1003
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:14,360
Dangerous.

1004
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,360
I'll have those for sure.

1005
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,360
All right.

1006
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,360
Throw in the public enemy pork shank.

1007
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,360
Got to try that.

1008
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,360
What did Dillinger eat when he was here?

1009
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,360
Steak.

1010
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,360
All right.

1011
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,360
I'll take the bank robber rib eye.

1012
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,360
Got it.

1013
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,360
I might have ordered too much.

1014
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,360
Hey, what did Dillinger have for dessert?

1015
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,360
Anything you wanted.

1016
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,360
Makes sense.

1017
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,360
What would happen to moral justice?

1018
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,360
You don't know for sure, do you?

1019
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,360
Basically, you might not be aff antioxidant.

1020
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,360
But you'll keep doing it delivery.

1021
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:57,360
To customers that find part in it,

1022
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,360
Dr. rates arecéma.

1023
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,360
I moment let's ask and steal it and give it to them.

1024
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,360
Yes, that's it!

1025
00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:09,360
What is that?

1026
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,600
What are we looking at?

1027
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,680
Sound on the bottom.

1028
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,560
What on earth?

1029
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,240
Container?

1030
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:22,160
Hold on, there's something in here.

1031
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:22,560
Look at this.

1032
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,200
Yeah, there is.

1033
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,160
There sure is.

1034
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,160
Looks like a glove of some kind.

1035
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:30,560
Look at this.

1036
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,360
It's leather.

1037
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,560
It's definitely a glove.

1038
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,440
It's not a suitcase filled with Dillinger's loot,

1039
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,720
but we may have unearthed an even deeper mystery.

1040
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:43,160
Look at all this weird kind of almost charring here.

1041
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,120
A pair of singed gloves and traces of ash

1042
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,440
in and around the canister suggest

1043
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,560
that something was being burned.

1044
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,200
I'm mystified by the container.

1045
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,520
Why would somebody put a pair of gloves into a container,

1046
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,960
set it on fire, and bury it?

1047
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,240
Not many good reasons to do that.

1048
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:58,280
Right, exactly.

1049
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,800
So what were they getting rid of?

1050
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,800
Good question.

1051
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,440
I'm thinking is this some kind of evidence, crime?

1052
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:05,640
Someone didn't want to fail?

1053
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,440
Maybe the answer is they were burning something

1054
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,160
in the container, and they were done,

1055
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,320
took the gloves off, threw them in, buried the whole thing.

1056
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,000
Right.

1057
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,480
What were they burning?

1058
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:15,040
That's the mystery.

1059
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,960
Whatever it is has been eaten up by time.

1060
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,400
There's no, there's not even any traces of what it was

1061
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,400
that I can see.

1062
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,000
The charred gloves, traces of ash, and the burn canister

1063
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,280
could date to the Dillinger era.

1064
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,520
But without more evidence, it's impossible

1065
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,600
to make a definitive link.

1066
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,560
We only know one thing for sure.

1067
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,720
Someone did not want this to be found.

1068
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:37,760
I don't know, man, that is one for the books.

1069
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,040
I've never seen this before.

1070
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,080
You know, every chance this is from the period,

1071
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,520
is this part of the Dillinger story?

1072
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:44,160
I don't know.

1073
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:44,800
I don't know.

1074
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,760
It could be.

1075
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,520
The find is compelling, and Dan will continue

1076
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,880
to comb the grounds for Dillinger's fabled stash.

1077
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,240
As for me, I have one more stop to make.

1078
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,960
I've received a call from Sheriff Martinez,

1079
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,040
asking me to come back to Crown Point, Indiana.

1080
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,000
It turns out that one part of the Dillinger mystery

1081
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,320
is on the verge of being solved.

1082
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,880
And I've been invited to help close the book.

1083
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,640
I show up at an unmarked building

1084
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,840
where I'm supposed to meet someone named Mark.

1085
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,680
Yeah, I'm as confused as you are.

1086
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,960
MUSIC

1087
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,360
Ha-ha!

1088
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,360
Wow!

1089
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,120
Oh, my word.

1090
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,720
Hello, I'm Josh.

1091
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:32,520
Hi, Josh, Mark.

1092
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,040
Nice to meet you.

1093
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,080
Nice to meet you too.

1094
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,120
What an entrance.

1095
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,720
This is unbelievable.

1096
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:38,040
What am I looking at here?

1097
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,120
You're looking at Lilly and Holly's police car?

1098
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,520
This is the car he escaped in.

1099
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,200
Yes, this is the car he drove away in.

1100
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,800
Get out of here.

1101
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,680
When Dillinger fled Crown Point,

1102
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:48,840
he hijacked the sheriff's car.

1103
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,840
Now, 87 years later, Dillinger's getaway vehicle

1104
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,320
has finally been recovered.

1105
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,600
Mark found this notorious piece of outlaw history

1106
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,480
in a barn in Maine and was able to match the serial number

1107
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,400
to Dillinger's wanted card.

1108
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,400
So this says John Dillinger with phaloniously

1109
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,000
and knowingly transporting Ford V8, four-door sedan.

1110
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,400
And then we have a serial number.

1111
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,720
So where's the serial number on here?

1112
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:13,760
Right here on the chassis.

1113
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,120
OK.

1114
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,960
Dillinger stole Ford V8, four-door sedan, motor number 256,

1115
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,920
447.

1116
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,000
That's unbelievable.

1117
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:24,760
This is it.

1118
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,000
This is the escape car.

1119
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,160
This is the real car.

1120
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,680
Tell you what, Josh, why don't you jump in and take a look?

1121
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,080
Mark has meticulously restored Sheriff Holly's car

1122
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,440
to the state it was in when Dillinger took it.

1123
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,000
I call shotgun.

1124
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:38,920
Sorry about that.

1125
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,400
It's a required joke.

1126
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,680
This is one of the guns that was in the arsenal

1127
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,720
at the Crown Point jail when Dillinger escaped.

1128
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:45,640
This is also original.

1129
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,440
That's original.

1130
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,000
This is the original steering wheel, original gauges.

1131
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,160
This is the real deal.

1132
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,160
This is exactly what Dillinger would have seen sitting here.

1133
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,520
Exactly.

1134
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,040
Now, Mark is returning the car to its original owners,

1135
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,040
the Lake County Sheriff's Department

1136
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,240
in the old Crown Point jail.

1137
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:03,240
Whoa.

1138
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:05,200
Hell yeah, she moves.

1139
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,000
So Josh, you feel like going to jail?

1140
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:07,640
In this?

1141
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,880
Yeah, absolutely.

1142
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,000
I don't know how to tell you this, Mark,

1143
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,840
but I think I hear the police.

1144
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,800
And the Sheriff's Department is rolling out the red carpet.

1145
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,320
A trio of motorcycles takes the lead

1146
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,760
and dozens of police vehicles from across Lake County

1147
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,440
bring up the motorcade.

1148
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:32,760
This is crazy.

1149
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,600
Are you kidding me with this?

1150
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,080
Now, how about the siren on this thing?

1151
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:36,640
Does it work?

1152
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:37,440
Oh, yeah.

1153
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,800
Light it off, Mark.

1154
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,320
Yeah, we go.

1155
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,960
Dillinger was public enemy number one.

1156
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,960
And the return of this once-stolen police car

1157
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,880
is a reminder that even 87 years later,

1158
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,960
justice can still be served.

1159
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,360
Coppers in the air.

1160
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,760
I gotta tell you, Mark, it takes a lot to shut me up,

1161
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:58,600
but I'm speechless.

1162
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,840
This car is going home.

1163
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,040
Helicopters buzz the parade route

1164
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:14,000
and crowds line the streets, the end of an epic journey.

1165
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,760
Oh, my word.

1166
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,720
Look at this.

1167
00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:24,720
Hundreds of onlookers have gathered outside the old jail

1168
00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:28,040
house, eager to see a piece of history restored

1169
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,000
to its rightful place.

1170
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:31,480
Hello.

1171
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,760
How about this?

1172
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:39,400
Amazing.

1173
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,160
I'm struck by the fact that I'm back where our story began.

1174
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,240
It's elegant.

1175
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:48,880
There's something about the mysteries of John Dillinger

1176
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,720
that beckon for closure, for a convenient conclusion,

1177
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:55,720
as if the world were black or white, good or bad.

1178
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,960
But reality is never so clean.

1179
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,240
Dillinger has been glorified as a dashing outlaw,

1180
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:06,760
but he is undeniably a villain.

1181
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,480
His firepower was lethal.

1182
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,680
His gang killed, and his deeds were fraught with terror.

1183
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,440
His Robin Hood moniker feels unearned.

1184
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,280
The money he stole was only used to enrich himself.

1185
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,320
But beneath the Hollywood varnish of his crime spree

1186
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:25,840
lies tragedy.

1187
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,880
Dillinger was a poor, depression-era kid

1188
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,920
who ended up in prison for much of his young life,

1189
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,200
until the only road ahead was the one that

1190
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,600
led away from the law.

1191
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,840
As for Dillinger's lost loot and the mysterious map,

1192
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,000
that tale is just beginning.

1193
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,760
And there may be more treasures hiding at the Dillinger farm.

1194
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,400
After all, no great story ever really ends.

1195
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,840
And the legend known as John Dillinger

1196
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,680
may once again reach out from the past.
