BONNIE AND CLYDE: Final Days, Ambush, and Burial

This episode, chronicles the last months of Bonnie and Clyde, culminating in their ambush in Louisiana. In this video I visited the actual locations such as the site of their hideout, the ambush location, where they spent their final night alive, the Gibsland Ambush Museum, the streets of Arcadia, Louisiana, their graves, the site of Clyde’s funeral, and more. What did Bonnie and Clyde, and their families do to prepare for their deaths? How did the final family visit go? What promises were made? Where did Bonnie get her last permanent? I apologize for the length of this. Due to fears of restrictions I chose not to break it into multiple episodes, which not only made it longer but made it take longer to make. I hope you enjoy it. I enjoyed making it. A note about the life insurance, discussions I found online between insurance professionals indicate companies DO pay families even if the person is killed during a crime. The criminal isn’t profiting and the family isn’t responsible for their loved one’s behavior. The effect seems to mostly affect the receiving of the accident benefit.
