Famous Crimes #10

Wilbur Underhill terrorized three states with a brutal crime spree that began in the mining towns of Oklahoma and escalated through bank robberies, murder, and prison breaks. Starting as a small-time moonshine seller, Underhill gathered accomplices like Bob Tamper and the Cakes brothers to orchestrate daring heists using stolen uniforms as disguise, leaving bodies in his wake across Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. This true crime account follows the tri-state terror from his early crimes through capture, escape, and his desperate final days as federal authorities close in.

During Prohibition-era Chicago, the four O'Donnell brothers—Tommy, Spike, Steve, and Walter—launch a brutal campaign to seize control of the underworld, directly challenging the established criminal empire of Andy Gullas. When the O'Donnells declare war on Gullas's operation, they trigger a violent conflict that draws the attention of Lieutenant Hunter and the police, who warn that such gang warfare won't be tolerated in the city. As the O'Donnells and Gullas's men clash across Chicago's streets and highways, neither side realizes how the other will strike next—or how far they're willing to go to claim dominance.

Ralph and Jake Fleagle grew up on a hardscrabble Kansas farm with a ruthless "kill or be killed" philosophy—and when they hit California in 1915, they put those brutal lessons to work, starting as strikebreakers and quickly escalating into arson, dynamite jobs, and armed robbery. After Jake's stretch in Oklahoma State Penitentiary yields dangerous criminal connections, the brothers reunite to pull off train heists and muscle in on high-stakes games, building a vicious reputation that keeps them one step ahead of the law. But their violent streak and careless methods are drawing unwanted attention from the very authorities they've outrun so far.
