The Bookstore Owner Who Robbed Banks in a Fake Beard · FBI Files

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: In the 1990s, the bank robbers raided and raided the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Chicago area. While using weapons, understanding the police procedure, and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: not being afraid, he attacked hard and quickly. The police
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and the FBI realized that the only way to stop
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: him was to catch him when he was in action. However,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: their intensity was impossible to predict. The average amount of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: bank robberies is around $ 3, 000. But some criminals did their
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: best to get away with it. In the outskirts of Chicago,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a man armed with weapons started a gang of robberies.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: The longer it went on, the more brutal it got.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I'm Jim Kallstrom, former head of the FBI in New York.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: After the robberies, the agents found that he was not
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: alone and would do anything to avoid arrest. 5th of March, Chicago, Illinois.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: At a bank on the south side of the city,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the employees started what they thought was a normal day
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of work. The environment was quiet.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Until 10.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: In the morning. Don't touch that man! A man armed
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: with a gun who swears is threatening to kill anyone
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: who does not follow his orders. The tellers know not
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to interfere. It ends in seconds. When they are safe,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they call the.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Police.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: The police patrol officer in Chicago, who was closest to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the bank, responded first. The witness reported that the thief
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: was a white man with a height of about six feet. However,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they did not see the details of his characteristics because
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of his arrogance. He used a handcuff and brought a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: police officer. The man was aggressive, holding his semi-automatic pistol
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: with confidence. He did not leave a finger print, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the security camera did not reveal any other clues. The
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: police examined the area with the hope of finding other witnesses.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: A woman living nearby reported that she thought she had
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: seen the robber. He said that around the time of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the robbery, he saw a man who looked like he
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: was wearing a fake suit, enter a small four-door sedan.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: He didn't get that much. But he gave the car's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: description officer. After checking every car in the area, they
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: immediately found one that they believed was the car of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the robbers. that was left behind by several blocks of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the bank. The officer was very careful if there were
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: still people inside. However, the car was empty, except for
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the tissue that covered the broken contact key. The report
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: showed that the car had been stolen from the parking
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: lot four days earlier. The next trial did not produce
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: any evidence of the robbery. The bank robbery is a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: federal offense, so the police contacted the Chicago Police Department. Hi,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: this is Keith. The senior resident agent of the Kiva
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: police station had handled the hallucination of the bank robbery.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: At that time, we were busy with the bank robbery.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: We received two raids in one day. Sometimes we handled
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: three raids a week.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Most of the raids were carried out by amateurs.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Who entered without planning and were caught quickly. And I,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: as I said, have become a shoe dealer. But when
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the bank's.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Fear of raids revealed reports of raids in the south, they.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Noted how clean the attack was clearly planned. They believe
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it's not the first robbery, the robbery of the robber,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and it won't be the last. Two months later, the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: fake robber robbed a bank on the outskirts of Libertyville.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Get the money out, sir. Not satisfied with the money,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he ordered a teller to open the safe.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Come on, sir.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Come on! He said the police officer would let him
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: know if there was anyone who pressed the alarm bell
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: from the warehouse.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: The robber ran away with.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Thousands of dollars. But this time, a teller got his
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: car's license plate number. While the Libertyville police were looking
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: for the car, an FBI agent in Chicago interviewed the tellers.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: The special agent, Hank Smith, found out that the armed
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: man was more aggressive this time. He controls people with weapons.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He will intimidate them by pointing weapons at their faces.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He directed the weapon directly to someone when he talked
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to them, which was to intimidate the tenants and customers.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Even though the interview.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Did not produce any clues, the police found the car
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that ran away, left several blocks from the bank. Once again,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the vehicle had been stolen from a mall three days earlier.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And as before, the thief used a handle to hide
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a damaged contact key. FBI agent Dave Chilleri is a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: part of the robbery investigation. The investigation revealed the robbery
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in Wilmette, Illinois, which is believed to have been committed
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: by the same person. A photo of a security camera
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: gives a scary clue. There is a very good picture
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of the robbery that was taken where he used what
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we call the position of the shooter. The position of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the shooter was taught to the police officer. It was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: taught to the FBI agent. And if you've ever been
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: taught to shoot like that, you know him. This person
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: may have followed a law enforcement training. If so, he
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: will know how this investigation works, and he can be
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: proven to be very difficult to catch. Local terrorists call
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: him Bandit Berjanggut. Investigators take advantage of the cover-up to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: ask for help from the citizens. They took pictures of
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the robbery in large numbers, hoping that someone would recognize them,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: even though they were arrogant.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: We showed the photos in the news. He was wearing
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: a fake jacket and a mustache, as well as baseball caps. So,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: after showing the photos, we didn't get any information from
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the public.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: In November 1990, a difficult bandit was arrested and attacked
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a bank in Wheeling, Illinois. An alarm went off before
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: he was told to leave. Everyone there hopes to catch
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the call of the year in Willingbank. The man who
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: was following him, the armed man, heard the police's response. Yes,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: he didn't leave the bank, which is a normal reaction
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of robbing a bank. They are there to rob a bank,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: but they are not there to get involved in a
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: gunfight with the police. He is still at the bank,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: while the police responded and fired a pistol at the cashier.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: And he counted back to 10.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 6, 2, 1.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: It seems he knows how long he had.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Before the police responded. More evidence that he might be
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a policeman. He started moving further. the robbery continued, it
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: seemed that the bandit deliberately chose a different jurisdiction target
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to complicate the investigation.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: There was no bank that was robbed for the second time.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: The robbery would happen at the other end of the city,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: near the Michigan River, and then will happen in Schaumburg
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: or Elk Grove Village or in the north of Lake County,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: such as Libertyville. When he attacked the new city's suburbs,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the FBI had to coordinate with more and more police departments.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: The head of the Palatine Police, Illinois, John Cossall, who
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was a detective detective at the time, found out about
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the case and that the cars owned by the bandits
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: who ran away were owned by employees of the shopping
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: center that were stolen at the beginning of their work.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: He will steal one of the workers' cars by knowing
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that the car will not be reported, it will be
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: stolen for at least 8 hours. So he knows he
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: has 8 hours to bring the vehicle to the place
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: where it was supposed to be stored before he found
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it missing. And that will be a big problem.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: When taking away.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: The car, the robber must try as much as possible
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to disturb the ongoing confusion. Remove the fingerprints from the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: car and do not leave any traces. It is very
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: clear that he knows the collection of evidence techniques from
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the police method. In the end, the agent did not
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: find anything valuable as evidence in the car. Because the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: car did not help identify the bandit, investigators followed every
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: clue that might exist. They visited theaters around the city.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Hoping that a prostitute might recognize the fake prostitute as
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a customer. Once again, there was none.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: The prostitute committed seven.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Robberies of weapons in the Chicago area between January 1990
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and February 1901. Then the robbery stopped. We looked back
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: at what we had done until then, looking for things
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that might have been missed. Maybe he was in prison somewhere.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe he moved out of the country. Maybe he's dead.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: We don't know. The bandit's trail remained cold for nine months.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: On November 4, 1991, the police.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Officer, Paladin Kevin Maher, was working at Siv Siang. an
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: operator who is in training to join and to learn
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the posture.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: I was heading south on the return road when I
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: saw a vehicle heading north and I looked at the
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: side mirror and I thought what I saw was a
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: flat number that was already outside.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: A flat number that was... So I turned around and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: told my friends that we were going to go and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: see what if this vehicle is already on the road.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: If so, I will do a check, then pass and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: show him how to do the check, then pass and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: enter all the numbers into the computer. That should be
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a routine check. The driver of the vehicle turns to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the side of the road and kicks the brakes. The
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: first instinct of Maher is to protect his passengers. Bandit
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: is coming back. On November 9th, 1991, the Chicago District
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Attorney's Office investigated the violence when a man shot the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: police officer, Kevin Maher. I was very shocked because it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: was late afternoon. It was 11 o'clock and the road
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to the house was quiet and that was a normal arrest.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: After he released the first shot, the first shot hit
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the front window and hit my head and the.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Window.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: The police are calling for you to come out straight
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to New Guinea.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I'll start the call. Yes, I'm.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: In New Guinea. Am I there? Yes, I'm in New Guinea.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Police are calling for you to come out straight to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: New Guinea. I'll start the call. From the edge of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the city, the local police and officers rush to the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: crime scene. Claire realizes that one of the shots that
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: hit her car's windshield is aimed right in the middle
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of the scene. It hits her head if she doesn't
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: move to protect her passengers and return the car. Police
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: ask if there is a helicopter or a helicopter. While
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the medics are taking care of Maher, the officer asks him.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: As a.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Police officer, he is a perfect witness. Trapped in remembering details,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: he gives them a description of the armed man, a
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: car license plate, a weapon, and the direction of the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: attacker running away. We have found a man wearing a
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: white suit, weight 6,500 pounds, wearing.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: A jacket, wearing a cap.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: The last step is to prove his innocence. So let's start.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Let's start.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Police spread out to find the shooter. Are we.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: In the right place?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: More than a hundred officers are in contact.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: With the six. From the left.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: You. Three blocks from the attack location, the police found
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a shooting vehicle.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: The car was reported.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: To have been stolen from the parking lot five days earlier.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Police Chief Paladin John Kosal realized the great danger. Ketika
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: seseorang bersedia menembak petugas polisi saat sedang melakukan pemeriksaan lalu
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: lintas rutin, kita semua menyadari bahwa dia bersedia menembak siapapun.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Tekadnya untuk melarikan diri jauh lebih besar daripada kepeduliannya terhadap
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: keselamatan siapapun haram. Itu adalah petugas penegak hukum warga di jalan.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Ketika Anda bersedia menembak polisi, Anda bersedia menembak siapapun. Kosal
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: membantu mengoordinasikan pencarian pelaku penembakan mematikan itu. Kami segera membuat
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: garis batas dengan bantuan petugas negara bagian daerah dan lokal
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: di daerah tersebut. Kami mengerahkan anjing pelacak di tempat kejadian.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Kami menerbangkan helikopter. Kami memberitahu sekolah-sekolah di daerah itu untuk
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: tetap tutup. Emisi barang bukti mulai memproses mobil itu. Punci
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: kontaknya rusak. Kerusakannya ditutupi oleh tisu. They look for fingerprints
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that may help them identify the perpetrator. But they don't
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: find it. The dog owners bring their dogs, who are
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: trained to remember the smell from a certain place, then
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: only follow that smell to tell the other smells. But
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the trail ends not far from the vehicle. Even though
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: they have tried hard, it is not known how they
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: will succeed. Your report in Lisbon states that we have
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: released all units other than the Cook County, Holy Meadows, Arlington.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Heights, and the Bajian State Units that secure the perimeter.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: In addition to being.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: Offended when one of our officers was shot, We all
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: know that civil servants are more likely to get hurt
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: or killed, and we work harder to bring.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Them to court. To get more resources, they called the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: FBI and special agent Bill Keefe. I was asked to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: come to the department to the police department, by the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: head of the police.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: A composite sketch was made, and everyone checked the condition
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: of the shooting.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: So I'm a happy. team have handled the case of gangsters.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I asked if we could see the car that was found,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and when I.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Saw the key, it was our bank account.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: After he was taken care of, Maher came to the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: police station to see the bandit-guarded photos. He said the
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: robber looked like the man who shot him. We suspect
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that he was on his way to rob a bank.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: He knew that when the officer checked the car, the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: car would be back in a state of theft. He
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: also knew that with the weapon he was carrying in
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: his vehicle, he could not hide it if the officer
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: came to his vehicle. The bandit who was fighting had
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: done a very violent act. This person will not be
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: able to escape. We have to find a very innovative
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: way to identify and interrogate him. We have to catch
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: him when we act. The head of the police gathered
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: many investigators. After the initial search, we formed a multi-jurisdiction
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: task force in our police department. We are involved with
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the FBI, the State Police, Sheriff's Police, Kuka County, and
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: all local organizations from our region and those involved in
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the bombing of Bangin. Because they seemed to know the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: police procedure, they adjusted it. We know that there are
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: bank robbers who use smuggling equipment. We no longer provide
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: bank locations through air. We provide a code number for
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: each bank. The robber is in the building. Please give
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: us the code. Satgas hopes that the patrol officer in
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the area can use the code to respond to the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: call for robbery without being noticed by the bandit. Especially
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: if there is an agent who is involved. He believed
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: that the bandit would continue his crime. The police began
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to inspect the banks in the area. On November 18,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: two weeks after the shooting, the Elk Grove Village Police
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: did not see anything suspicious in one of the banks
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: in their list. But in the morning, a woman who
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: left her business nearby saw two people who were about
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to enter the bank. Two weeks after a police attack
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: in the Chicago area related to a gang of bandits,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the armed man reappeared in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. This
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: time with a handcuff. Is there anyone I can help?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: There's something very strange going on here. Thank you. Stay there.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: 2130, 2132, I'm leaving.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Without disclosing the information through police interrogators. They also told
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the FBI. Special Agent Hank Smith realized the new danger.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: The main concern is that the robber, in some cases,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: released a time bomb that he used to signal to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the employees.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: So there is always a potential for violence.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: The number is clearly increasing if there are two armed people.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: At the bank, the manager explained that they could not
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: enter the time zone. Okay, ma'am. The operator instructed the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: officers outside to leave if there was a shooting. Come in.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: With the money from the cash register, the robbers ran away.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Not realizing that the police had been called, Taylor made
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: an alarm. The officer of Alcroft Village, close to the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: siren that was turned off, quietly roared. If the robber
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: is still inside and listening to the police, they may
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: be in danger. The officer is in greater danger, according
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: to head of the police, John Kosal. For the first time,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: we saw two robbers. That certainly increased our urgency. Now
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: we have to face two armed men when the law
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: enforcement officers arrived at this bank.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Can you call the bank? What are you looking for?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: The police are talking to the bank staff through the operator.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: The manager says the robbers have left. The officer has
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: to make sure the robbers don't throw weapons at the manager,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: forcing him to lie. We've asked someone to give us
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a hand. The operator asks them to send an employee
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: out to talk to the police. Who are you? The
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: manager gave them a description of the woman who was.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Chosen to leave.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: The height.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Is 25 feet. 2,600 people were sent out on duty.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I think I saw them outside. Did you know there
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: was an alarm here?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Did anyone get hurt inside? The worker assured them that
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the robbers had left and that no one was hurt inside.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: They are dead. After the robbery in Elk Grove Village,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the police found two cars with the key.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: To the bandit's car. That's proof of the criminal's ingenuity.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: To clean himself up after leaving the bank, he will
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: leave the car he just got on in the same
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: block as all the witnesses when leaving the bank. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: he will go a few blocks away and enter another
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: vehicle that he left there before. And clean himself up
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: from the first hot vehicle. All those cars, according to
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: special agent Dave Childry. We were able to identify the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: cars based on the type, brand, age, and level of visibility.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: The cars were just ordinary cars. He stole it, then
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: left it for a few days before using it as.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: A racing car. Satgas asked to be told about a
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: car that was stolen from the shopping center in the area.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: We managed to get information about the stolen cars in
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the West Coast and in Chicago. We will share that
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: information every week. Scott Beckin from the FBI and Sir
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Steve Pearson from the Chicago Police really come every absentee.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: About 50 to 60 law enforcement agencies and talk to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: each officer about the need to find these cars.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: The private visit meant more than just a moment.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: In a place in the metro area, they hoped to
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: find a stolen car after the bandits stole it, but
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: before he used it to.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Rob.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: A few weeks later, Tompolinski's employee was checking the parking
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: lot of an apartment building in Niles, Illinois, when he
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: saw a stolen car in their list. It looks like
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the gangsters.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Are really working.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: The plan is that if they find one of them
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and it turns out that they were robbed when they
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: wanted to check the number plate, they would go back
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and tell us.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: It happened. We put security on the vehicle. The FBI agent,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Niles' police, and the.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Detective watched the stolen car from the empty apartment for
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: 24 hours a day. On December 13th, we found out
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: that the Rolling Meadows police had found another stolen car.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: It's possible that it was one.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Of Bandit's stolen cars. The police chief was sure they
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: were right. The second vehicle was stolen from the large
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: mall area. The second was owned by the mall worker.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: The ammunition was perfect. They also set up surveillance on
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the second car in Rolling Meadows. The Rolling Meadows police
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: came down. They shared time, detective, intelligent, and sat together.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Our agent was there for 24 hours a day. To
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: make sure the bandit didn't pass, the FBI wanted to
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: install a trap in the vehicle. They couldn't do it
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: in the parking lot. At night, the police moved the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: two cars. and replace it with a car that looks
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: similar for a few hours. That's a risky move. The
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: judge can return anytime and see the agent or the car.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: In the FBI garage, technicians install long-distance tracking devices on
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: every vehicle. They also equipped the car with long-distance traffic
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: lights that allowed the agent to turn off the engine
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: from a distance. They returned the car and waited. Days passed.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: There was a doubt that bothered all of us that
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: maybe we had been found. Maybe he had seen one
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: of us or a policeman entering and exiting the apartment
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: that they were using to monitor the car in Niles.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: that he had seen someone near the car in Rolling
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Meadows and that.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: He would leave this car and never.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Come back.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: We are not sure, we do not know, but we
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: are committed to.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Monitoring this car until something tells us otherwise. After a week,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the guard released the results. A van stopped and a
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: shout approached one of the cars. In my mind, this
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: is a matter of life or death. This will be
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: our only chance. If we fail, they will know where
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: to go. They hoped to end the bandit's evil with peace.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: But no one forgot when.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: The last time a man with weapons was shot. In 1991,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: when investigators in the Chicago area looked into two stolen
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: cars that they believed would be used in the robbery
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: of the next robber, a man entered one of the cars.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: The agent, especially Hans Smith, believed it was their suspect.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: He is suitable in the general physical description of the individual.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: The person we are looking for is a robber. He's
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: in the car.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: The man has been taken by someone who's driving a van.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: This van is in a white van. It's going south.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: When he left, the van followed him. The investigator couldn't identify.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: The two drivers. They must be careful.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: If the bandits are caught and their plot is seen
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: as a trap, they may start.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Shooting.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: However, FBI technicians have installed a trap in the car
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: that allows agents to follow from a distance. It is
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: suspected that the car was parked near the city bank.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: The car was parked near the city bank. After hearing
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the news, Bill Kidd's security agents were convinced.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: That they had finally found their target.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: When the vehicle appeared around the bank, our adrenaline was
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: really high and we really knew that we were going
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to get it. This car is probably the first escape
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: car for the robbery the next day. The second suspect
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: is likely to take the second stolen car in Rolling Meadows.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Stand up! They're right.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: What did you get? I got a white.
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: Skin.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: The vehicle is also equipped with a glider. The van
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: is going. The red car.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Is behind him.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: The agent wanted to follow the car that was believed
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to be the second car. He went to the hardware
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: store about 20 meters from the bank where the couple
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: left him.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, it looks like he's back at the van.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Wait for Daddy Cookie. With the second suspect in the van,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the agent no longer has a tracker and must stay
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: close and must stay close. They followed the van to
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Hanover Park, Illinois and saw it stop at a hotel.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Now the agent, Dave Jewery, can identify people inside him.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Tommy has a plate number and two descriptions of people,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: a man and a woman.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Normal record check.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: The plate number will show us that the van belongs
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: to Jeffrey and Jill Erickson. FBI and police work all
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: night long to find out more. Tommy has done a
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: lot of research by contacting the police department to try
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: to find out who these people are. Tommy looked for
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: previous arrest records. that we did not find. Throughout this process,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: we have received some information that Jeffrey Erickson was once
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a police officer. In 1986, Jeffrey Erickson worked as a
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: patrol officer on the outskirts of Chicago. He distinguished himself
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: as a capable sniper. But he was not interested in
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: the daily working conditions and traffic stop. He would be
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: fired when he retreated. The note also shows that Jeffrey
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Erickson opened a bookstore at the beginning of the 1900s
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: when bandits were gathering in the vacuum. It looks like
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: he and his wife Jill, a university chemistry student, lived
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a rich life by using the money from the bank
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: robbery to build a middle-class life. He may not look
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: threatening on the surface, but Smith's agent knows him. Because
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: he is an individual who is trained to know how
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: we will react. He can discuss it first. And if
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: he is trained with weapons, he will be more professional
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: in how he handles the weapon and he will be
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: a greater threat to us. The investigators considered waiting until
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Erickson approached the bank the next day. But decided not
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to take the risk of a gunshot near employees and friends.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: We have quite a lot of information.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: So we don't need to bring him around the bank.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: The safest approach is when he comes to the car,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the stolen car, we will catch him.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Surveillance unit monitors the suspected house. The SWAT team is
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: getting ready to get close to the car at the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: parking lot of Perkakas. The head of the police, John Kosal,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: The SWAT team guarding the vehicle was very aware of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: its background and knew that it was likely to fire
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: first and they considered it. In the morning, they were
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: ready to face Erickson's actions. Around midday, the surveillance unit
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: told us that the van was actually moving from silence
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: with at least two people.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: They headed to the place where we were monitoring the
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: stolen car.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: The surveillance team told us that TN Erickson had left
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the vehicle at the next parking lot. The FBI has
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: installed a series of switches in the car, which they
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: can use to turn off the engine from a distance.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: We saw him coming from the bend, from another parking place,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: going to.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: That vehicle and entering that vehicle, and turning on that vehicle.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Erickson is bothered by the problem of that car.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go in.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: The SWAT team moves on. forward.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Get out!
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Get out of the car! Put your hands where I
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: said get out of the car! Get out of the car!
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Put your hands where I said get out.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Of the car! I know that putting your hands where
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I said get out of the car! I know that.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Putting your hands where I said get out of the car!
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: And most of the law enforcement officers don't want to
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: shoot someone if they don't need to.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: There's no one who wants to die.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: In a scene like this.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Out of the car, slowly.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: After two times of packing his bag, Erickson finally followed
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the order. He got out of the bag with a pistol.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: It will be a completely different situation. I asked him,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: when we brought him after the arrest to the federal prison,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: as a former police officer, you must know that such
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: a move can make you shot. And he looked at
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: me and said, okay, I think you're going to shoot
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: my head and everything will end quickly.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: In the.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Car, Agen rode on Erickson's bag and found bandit equipment,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: a gun, a firearm full of bullets, a police rifle,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: a handgun, a knife, and a gun. The equipment of
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the bank vault in the bag is very helpful in
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: this case. Without any information or evidence, we just caught
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: a car thief. Keeping Jeffrey Erickson safe is only half
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: of the job.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: In the.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Next parking lot, the SWAT team approached the van. Maybe
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Jill Erickson is in there? The agents are eager to follow.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: The fast-paced pursuit across 11 districts near the city reaches
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: a speed of 110 miles per hour. The road blockade fails.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: and he has released some of the fans, either the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: agent who chased or someone else passed by. That is
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: a great achievement for the agents, that they are able
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: to communicate with each other.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: The agents shot at Van's back, But.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: The victim did not give up. In 1991, a man
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: was arrested by the bank for leading the police and
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: FBI agents in a dangerous chase in the outskirts of Chicago.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: The van that ran away turned to the area that
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: the investigators did not have a way out. and they.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Started walking. At that moment, they had to let go
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: of the gun.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: They saw the movement inside. Get out of the.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Van!
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Back to the flat.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: An FBI agent approached them carefully.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: The driver was injured. One shot was made by himself.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: That was Jill Erickson. On that night, at the hospital,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: he died. A special agent for Hank Smith. We're sure
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: that was probably a plan that they both made so
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't get caught. That day, he was doing his job,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: and that day, he decided not to do it, for
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: whatever reason. Inside the van, there was a pile of
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: old bullets, blood, ammunition, and other weapons. There was a
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: gun with a few hundred bullets of ammunition.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: The whole environment became a nightmare because of the evidence.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: There was a bullet that was fired.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Jill was stuck on the side of the house, on
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: the cars, on.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: The streets, on the streets.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: The FBI received a Federal Rescue Order for Erickson's house.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: We raised a sum of money, but what made me
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: very impressed was the number of firearms in that house.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: The arrest at that house... will turn into a bomb.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: In that house, there are weapons everywhere that you will
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: find in the form of images or statues or paintings.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: In other houses.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Among the weapons found are a semi-automatic Panzerbus rifle caliber. 223,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: which was used in the attack on Captain Kevin Maher.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Head John Cosell realized that the gun would kill both sides.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: The weapons in his house are as good as those
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: of any law enforcer in terms of shooting power. As
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: a large weapon, the long-range ammunition will immediately pierce the
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: officer's anti-bullet shell. Other friends in the house expressed the
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: couple's thoughts. One of the things that we found quite
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: ironic was that the television was on and the VCR
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: was on and there was a recording of Bonnie and
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Clyde in the VCR and the recording was in Putalingga,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: where Pudi and Clyde were shot to death in that
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: film and it's clear that they watched it before they
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: went out and did the robbery.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Even though one of the.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Robbers was killed and the other one was detained, the
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: violence hasn't ended yet. The trial of Jeffrey Erickson began
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: on July 13, 1992. The evidence gathered to make the
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: case strong In all conversations with the US Attorney's Office,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the negotiations went very well, they were very optimistic about it,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: and they believed that the evidence would be enough to
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: punish him.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: But then, after.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: The trial was postponed to July 20, 1992, two US
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: MPs brought Erickson and several bailiffs into the elevator. Erickson
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: was still in uniform for justice. The guards headed for
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the van that would take them to the Metropolitan Community Center.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: When the lift reached the parking garage, Erickson didn't know
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: how to get out of his car. Erickson shot the U.S.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Marshal Bill Franks in the back and head until he died.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: But because of the earthquake, Franks didn't have time to
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: take off his weapon. When the man with the weapon
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: ran to the road, the judge's security officer and the
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: former Chicago Police Detective Harry Bellwoman stabbed him in the chest.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Erickson shot the police veteran in the chest. But before
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Bellwoman died, he released four shots that caused Erickson to
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: be badly injured. The man with the weapon had 40
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: feet from the road that was crowded when he died.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: The problem is that all of these resources are used
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: to arrest an individual, and he is arrested and tried
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: in court. You might think the case is over, but unfortunately,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: the only person who can stop this individual is a
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: police officer who is very brave named Harry Bellini, who
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: is currently shooting and killing Jeff Erickson. Alice, Bill Franks,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: who just got married, is a lawmaker who has just
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: made a few months of career. Harry Bellwoman was a
