S1 E12The Kidnappers
Aired on Mar 10, 199619m
By the mid-1930s, law enforcement is outgunned and uncoordinated. Any state line provides a sanctuary for a fleeing hoodlum, setting the stage for a kidnapping wave. The Barkers become the First Family of Kidnapping, going after rich industrialists and their families, until J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI start cracking down.
