1
00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:07,773
[Josh] John Dillinger was one of
the most wanted men in America.
2
00:00:07,807 --> 00:00:09,608
How much money
did he get away with?
3
00:00:09,642 --> 00:00:12,288
In today's money,
just under $11 million.
4
00:00:12,312 --> 00:00:12,644
Wow.
5
00:00:14,114 --> 00:00:17,649
[Stewart] There's actually a good
portion of it that was never recovered.
6
00:00:17,684 --> 00:00:19,718
So this is one of the guns
that John Dillinger
7
00:00:19,753 --> 00:00:21,587
stole from the LA County
Sheriff's Department.
8
00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:24,056
- Like the actual gun?
- Yes.
9
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:29,261
[gunfire]
10
00:00:30,296 --> 00:00:31,964
[laughs, whoops]
11
00:00:32,932 --> 00:00:34,900
[Josh] You have an idea
where it might be?
12
00:00:34,934 --> 00:00:37,503
[Stewart] He decided to go
to his family farm.
13
00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:38,437
Home is where the heart is.
14
00:00:38,471 --> 00:00:40,939
It also might be
where the money is.
15
00:00:41,674 --> 00:00:43,275
[metal detector beeping, whirs]
16
00:00:43,309 --> 00:00:45,411
Whoa, whoa, whoa. [chuckles]
17
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:47,012
Look at that!
18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,680
Things go bad up here, right?
19
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:50,382
Things go real bad up here.
20
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:52,251
[gunfire]
21
00:00:54,087 --> 00:00:55,821
- [Josh] Oh, look at this!
- [man] Here we go.
22
00:00:55,855 --> 00:00:58,390
[Stewart] I'm thinking,
is this some kind of evidence,
23
00:00:58,425 --> 00:01:00,826
crime someone didn't want found?
24
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:03,695
[Josh] So either on land
or in the water.
25
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:07,032
- [metal detector whirring] -
Definitely manmade, incredible.
26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,210
For many, the Great Depression
ushered in some of the darkest days
27
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:19,344
in American history,
28
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:23,549
but it heralded a golden age
for a new breed of outlaw.
29
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:26,852
Violent and highly organized
bank robbers
30
00:01:26,886 --> 00:01:30,522
and none were more charismatic
or more wanted
31
00:01:30,557 --> 00:01:32,724
than John Dillinger.
32
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:35,394
He knocked over more
than a dozen banks,
33
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:39,631
running from the law with a
brazen and well-armed gang.
34
00:01:39,666 --> 00:01:43,535
To the cash strapped masses,
Dillinger became a kind of Robin Hood,
35
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:46,371
a rogue with a pension
for fast cars
36
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:47,639
and beautiful women.
37
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:50,609
To J. Edgar Hoover
and to the burgeoning FBI,
38
00:01:50,643 --> 00:01:53,979
he was a dangerous villain
and a PR nightmare.
39
00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:57,883
By the time the Bureau gunned
Dillinger down on the streets of Chicago,
40
00:01:57,917 --> 00:01:59,885
his gang had made off
with the equivalent
41
00:01:59,919 --> 00:02:04,256
of millions of dollars,
much of it never recovered.
42
00:02:06,793 --> 00:02:10,696
Now, Dillinger's stolen cash
may be within reach.
43
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:13,432
Armed with a trove
of government documents,
44
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:16,869
a former FBI agent
has just made a major find
45
00:02:16,903 --> 00:02:21,840
in Dillinger's hometown, that
could lead to a buried stash.
46
00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:25,711
And in the woods, surrounding
a remote Wisconsin Lodge,
47
00:02:25,745 --> 00:02:29,448
investigators are hot
on the trail of a suitcase
48
00:02:29,482 --> 00:02:31,350
packed with plunder.
49
00:02:31,384 --> 00:02:34,486
So grab your badge
and join me on a manhunt
50
00:02:34,521 --> 00:02:36,555
a century in the making,
51
00:02:36,589 --> 00:02:39,825
to uncover the true nature
of an American legend
52
00:02:39,859 --> 00:02:44,963
and to crack the case of
Dillinger's lost loot wide open.
53
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:49,568
- My name is Josh Gates.
- Hello.
54
00:02:49,602 --> 00:02:52,437
Explorer, adventurer.
55
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:53,405
This is sick.
56
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:54,706
Help!
57
00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:57,509
And a guy who ends up in
some very strange situations.
58
00:02:57,544 --> 00:02:59,745
Oh, [bleep]. Whoo!
That was exciting.
59
00:02:59,779 --> 00:03:02,381
With a degree in archaeology
and a passion
60
00:03:02,415 --> 00:03:03,482
for the unexplained.
61
00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:05,717
- [whoops] - I travel to
the ends of the earth,
62
00:03:05,752 --> 00:03:09,121
investigating the greatest
legends in history.
63
00:03:09,155 --> 00:03:10,255
Let's punch it.
64
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:13,025
This is Expedition Unknown.
65
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:29,474
March 3rd, 1934,
66
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:31,843
the jail in Crown Point,
Indiana,
67
00:03:31,878 --> 00:03:35,581
prisoners are free to leave
their cells to stretch their legs.
68
00:03:35,615 --> 00:03:39,351
Among them, America's
most notorious bank robber,
69
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:40,552
John Dillinger.
70
00:03:40,587 --> 00:03:42,621
And right about now.
71
00:03:42,655 --> 00:03:46,358
A prison custodian makes
a critical mistake.
72
00:03:46,392 --> 00:03:48,694
He opens the outer door
before ensuring
73
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:51,363
the prisoners are back
in their cells.
74
00:03:51,397 --> 00:03:54,066
Dillinger seizes the moment.
75
00:03:57,470 --> 00:03:59,538
Using a wooden gun
that he stashed
76
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:01,506
for just such an opportunity.
77
00:04:01,541 --> 00:04:03,408
He makes his move.
78
00:04:05,445 --> 00:04:08,480
Taking a hostage to facilitate
his escape
79
00:04:08,514 --> 00:04:11,817
and racing toward
his life's final chapter,
80
00:04:11,851 --> 00:04:15,187
and a bloody crime spree
that would make him
81
00:04:15,221 --> 00:04:17,322
Public Enemy Number One.
82
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:23,295
More than 80 years after
the infamous jailbreak,
83
00:04:23,329 --> 00:04:26,999
I'm back at the scene of the
crime to meet retired FBI agent.
84
00:04:27,033 --> 00:04:30,102
Real deal G-man,
Stewart Fillmore.
85
00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:31,603
- Stewart.
- Josh.
86
00:04:31,638 --> 00:04:32,638
- Hey, man.
- Hey.
87
00:04:32,672 --> 00:04:33,772
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
88
00:04:33,806 --> 00:04:36,408
This is an incredible building.
89
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:38,744
It is really a time capsule.
90
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:42,414
We are actually in what was
in those days was the book.
91
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:43,649
- And speaking of the law.
- Mm-hmm.
92
00:04:43,683 --> 00:04:47,052
- You were with the FBI for how long?
- For 29 years.
93
00:04:47,086 --> 00:04:48,320
- Wow.
- Yeah.
94
00:04:48,354 --> 00:04:49,755
And what sort of cases would
you work, what was your specialty?
95
00:04:49,789 --> 00:04:51,923
Um, my specialty
was public corruption,
96
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,793
and I worked financial crimes
and civil rights cases,
97
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,730
participated in numerous other cases
like bank robberies and kidnappings.
98
00:04:58,765 --> 00:05:01,199
Okay, so, John Dillinger
territory.
99
00:05:01,234 --> 00:05:02,401
John Dillinger territory.
100
00:05:02,435 --> 00:05:05,203
And I know you're a real
Dillinger aficionado,
101
00:05:05,238 --> 00:05:06,538
when did that start for you?
102
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:08,573
Probably when I was
nine years old,
103
00:05:08,608 --> 00:05:12,277
when I saw the 1973
Warren Oates movie Dillinger.
104
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:13,612
[Josh] Right.
105
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:16,281
In fact, Dillinger has been
immortalized
106
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:20,185
and somewhat romanticized in
at least a dozen different films,
107
00:05:20,219 --> 00:05:24,423
including a portrayal
by Johnny Depp in 2009.
108
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:26,892
And is the Hollywood portrayal
of him true?
109
00:05:26,926 --> 00:05:29,628
I mean, was he all the things
we think of him as?
110
00:05:29,662 --> 00:05:32,764
He was a charismatic guy,
he was, you know,
111
00:05:32,799 --> 00:05:36,068
the whole flashy kind
of almost a celebrity, really.
112
00:05:36,102 --> 00:05:38,870
But you know when you peel a
couple of layers back of the onion,
113
00:05:38,905 --> 00:05:42,841
he had a really almost
a contradictory personality,
114
00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:45,844
one hand, you know,
capable of violent crime,
115
00:05:45,878 --> 00:05:50,282
and on the other hand, he was,
you know, a likable, affable guy.
116
00:05:50,316 --> 00:05:51,616
And this is him here?
117
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,820
Yeah, that's him right there,
leaning on the prosecuting attorney.
118
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:57,222
- [laughs] - This is the
guy who's prosecuting?
119
00:05:57,256 --> 00:05:58,824
That is the guy
that's trying him for murder.
120
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:01,259
And this is Dillinger, it looks like
he doesn't have a care in the world.
121
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,661
- Not a care in the world.
- Right.
122
00:06:02,695 --> 00:06:05,731
[Josh] Accused of killing a
police officer during a bank robbery
123
00:06:05,765 --> 00:06:06,798
in East Chicago.
124
00:06:06,833 --> 00:06:09,868
Dillinger seemed to enjoy
his newfound infamy.
125
00:06:09,902 --> 00:06:13,171
And ultimately we know
he breaks out of this jail.
126
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:13,772
Yes.
127
00:06:14,874 --> 00:06:18,110
And what does he do
when he hits the front door?
128
00:06:18,144 --> 00:06:20,045
Well, when he hits the front
door, he takes the sheriff's car.
129
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:24,383
I mean, [laughs] he actually
steals Sheriff Lillian Holley's car.
130
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:25,650
There's a picture of her
right there.
131
00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:27,652
- And he took her car.
- Her car.
132
00:06:27,687 --> 00:06:30,255
Oh, no, that's not good.
133
00:06:30,289 --> 00:06:34,159
It was a Ford V8, one of
the fastest cars of its day.
134
00:06:34,193 --> 00:06:36,928
Three days later,
Dillinger's robbing a bank.
135
00:06:36,963 --> 00:06:39,664
The other thing about
Dillinger that really surprised me
136
00:06:39,699 --> 00:06:42,367
in reading up on him is how
short his criminal career was.
137
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,735
- Yes.
- His whole crime spree is how long?
138
00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:45,036
Just a little over a year.
139
00:06:45,071 --> 00:06:48,306
[Josh] In that one year, how
many banks does he knock over?
140
00:06:48,341 --> 00:06:49,641
Twelve for certain, okay.
141
00:06:49,675 --> 00:06:51,777
Um, he was accused
and as many as 24.
142
00:06:51,811 --> 00:06:53,545
How much money
did he get away with?
143
00:06:53,579 --> 00:06:56,314
Just over $600,000,
which in today's money
144
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:57,816
is just under $11 million.
145
00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:00,819
And there's actually a good
portion of it that was never recovered.
146
00:07:00,853 --> 00:07:02,821
Now one of the reasons
I'm very excited to meet you
147
00:07:02,855 --> 00:07:05,490
is that I know that
you've been looking into
148
00:07:05,525 --> 00:07:07,392
this question of his lost money
149
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,561
and you have an idea
where it might be.
150
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:11,496
- I do.
- A good idea?
151
00:07:11,531 --> 00:07:13,632
I think it's a very good
and fruitful idea.
152
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:15,634
Okay, well,
I'm very interested in that
153
00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:17,502
and the other thing
I'm interested in
154
00:07:17,537 --> 00:07:21,339
is how did Dillinger
pull off stealing $11 million?
155
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:23,308
Well, in each bank robbery,
156
00:07:23,342 --> 00:07:25,977
each gang member had
their own specific assignment,
157
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:28,713
- and it was carried out with a very strict schedule.
- Right.
158
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:30,949
You know, we're only going
to be in the vault
159
00:07:30,983 --> 00:07:32,818
for three minutes,
in and out, in and out.
160
00:07:32,852 --> 00:07:37,088
He's taking bank robbery and
he's turning it into a science.
161
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:37,823
Absolutely.
162
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:40,826
Like a real life Ocean's Eleven,
163
00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:44,296
meticulous planning
went into every heist,
164
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,530
they would case targets
165
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:48,500
and follow a coordinated
timetable.
166
00:07:48,534 --> 00:07:50,635
Dillinger would vault
over bank counters,
167
00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:53,672
earning him the nickname,
Jackrabbit.
168
00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:56,908
But to reveal what really gave
the gang their edge.
169
00:07:56,943 --> 00:08:00,679
Stewart leads me to the current
Lake County police headquarters
170
00:08:00,713 --> 00:08:02,914
for a very special meeting
with the sheriff.
171
00:08:02,949 --> 00:08:05,517
- This Sheriff Oscar Martinez.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
172
00:08:05,551 --> 00:08:06,885
- Please to meet you.
- This is Commander Stahl.
173
00:08:06,919 --> 00:08:08,854
- Nice to meet you, how are you?
- I'm great, thanks.
174
00:08:08,888 --> 00:08:11,656
Well, I think you'd be really interested
to see what we have here for you.
175
00:08:11,691 --> 00:08:13,992
Okay, what do we have?
176
00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:19,598
- A Thompson submachine gun.
- [exclaims]
177
00:08:19,632 --> 00:08:21,933
[Josh] Here in the heart
of the Police Training Center,
178
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:26,538
the vault has opened on a
piece of American criminal history.
179
00:08:26,572 --> 00:08:29,007
So this is one of the guns
that John Dillinger stole
180
00:08:29,041 --> 00:08:31,510
from the LA County Sheriff's
Department during his escape.
181
00:08:31,544 --> 00:08:33,912
- Like the actual gun?
- Yes.
182
00:08:33,946 --> 00:08:34,713
Wow.
183
00:08:34,747 --> 00:08:36,581
How would you like
to give it a try?
184
00:08:36,616 --> 00:08:38,183
- It fires?
- Absolutely.
185
00:08:38,217 --> 00:08:39,651
Uh, yes.
186
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:42,254
Everybody should back away.
187
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:47,759
Developed for trench warfare
in World War I.
188
00:08:47,793 --> 00:08:50,629
The tommy gun was embraced
by organized crime
189
00:08:50,663 --> 00:08:51,796
during Prohibition,
190
00:08:51,831 --> 00:08:55,500
earning it the nickname
The Chicago Typewriter.
191
00:08:55,535 --> 00:09:00,138
The drum magazine
holds 50 .45 caliber bullets.
192
00:09:02,675 --> 00:09:04,442
- It is on safe right now.
- Yep.
193
00:09:04,477 --> 00:09:05,877
That means you cannot pull
the trigger back,
194
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:09,581
flip this around,
now the gun can fire, okay?
195
00:09:09,615 --> 00:09:13,151
- You are in single shot mode.
- Copy.
196
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:17,422
- It is all yours.
- Thanks, sir.
197
00:09:19,926 --> 00:09:22,561
That's Stewart, what's
your confidence here in me
198
00:09:22,595 --> 00:09:25,797
- at this point?
- About a three.
199
00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:28,433
- Out of five?
- Out of 10.
200
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:30,201
Ah, Jesus.
201
00:09:30,503 --> 00:09:33,972
[gunfire]
202
00:09:39,345 --> 00:09:42,147
Dead on. Safe? Good job.
203
00:09:42,181 --> 00:09:43,315
I mean I'm doing all right.
204
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:45,884
- Josh, I think you're ready for sniper school.
- Yeah?
205
00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:46,751
Yeah.
206
00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:49,421
After a few single fire
test rounds.
207
00:09:49,455 --> 00:09:51,556
- Okay, we're going to full auto?
- Yes, sir.
208
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:55,093
It's time to say hello
to my little friend.
209
00:09:55,127 --> 00:09:57,028
[gunfire]
210
00:10:02,535 --> 00:10:03,902
Set to fully automatic,
211
00:10:03,936 --> 00:10:08,974
this 1921 model can pump out a
staggering 900 rounds a minute.
212
00:10:09,809 --> 00:10:12,444
Shredding everything
in its path.
213
00:10:12,478 --> 00:10:14,980
[gunfire]
214
00:10:19,251 --> 00:10:21,653
- [laughs, whoops]
- Good job.
215
00:10:21,687 --> 00:10:23,922
So, Josh, you see
how powerful this weapon is.
216
00:10:23,956 --> 00:10:27,525
- Oh, it's crazy.
- So just imagine that the Dillinger gang
217
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,661
was going up against cops
and guards
218
00:10:29,695 --> 00:10:31,696
who were carrying
.38 special revolvers.
219
00:10:31,731 --> 00:10:33,732
- Right.
- Yeah, it's like a peashooter essentially
220
00:10:33,766 --> 00:10:36,668
compared to that, you're actually
holding history in your hand.
221
00:10:36,702 --> 00:10:40,505
That's not lost on me that
the experience of firing a gun,
222
00:10:40,539 --> 00:10:41,973
you know that Dillinger
himself may have fired.
223
00:10:42,008 --> 00:10:45,677
- Exactly.
- It connects you to the past in a really primal way.
224
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:48,046
- Yes.
- All right, so now I understand
225
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,715
- how Dillinger stole all this money.
- Yes.
226
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:53,318
- So let's get back to the other question.
- Okay.
227
00:10:53,352 --> 00:10:54,552
Where is it?
228
00:10:54,587 --> 00:10:56,421
- I'll show you.
- Just that easy?
229
00:10:56,455 --> 00:10:57,455
It's that easy.
230
00:10:57,490 --> 00:10:58,590
I think for everybody's safety,
231
00:10:58,624 --> 00:11:00,692
I'm going to give this back
to you now. There you go.
232
00:11:00,726 --> 00:11:02,260
- Perfect.
- [Josh] Cheers. Thanks, sir.
233
00:11:02,294 --> 00:11:04,362
[Stahl] Thank you.
234
00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:08,099
[Josh] So, with meticulous
planning and military grade weaponry.
235
00:11:08,134 --> 00:11:11,403
The Dillinger gang made off
with a fortune in cash
236
00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:12,437
and bonds,
237
00:11:12,471 --> 00:11:14,706
much of it lost to history.
238
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:16,941
Now, Stewart's working
with investigators
239
00:11:16,976 --> 00:11:22,213
who have unearthed a new lead
150 miles south of Crown Point
240
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,015
in Mooresville, Indiana.
241
00:11:24,617 --> 00:11:27,218
John Dillinger's hometown.
242
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:35,660
When we think of the people
like Dillinger.
243
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:38,396
We don't think of him
as a kid, as a boy.
244
00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:39,798
- Yes.
- What was his childhood like?
245
00:11:39,832 --> 00:11:42,567
I think Dillinger
was a restless child,
246
00:11:42,601 --> 00:11:45,570
I think he was rebellious,
Dillinger had actually kind of
247
00:11:45,604 --> 00:11:48,840
started running, uh, with,
I think what his father
248
00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:50,508
thought was a bad element.
249
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:53,945
Dillinger was born in the city
of Indianapolis in 1903,
250
00:11:53,979 --> 00:11:57,782
but his father then moved
the family here to the country,
251
00:11:57,817 --> 00:12:00,618
but it wasn't enough
to keep John out of trouble.
252
00:12:00,653 --> 00:12:05,757
In 1924, Dillinger commits
his first serious crime,
253
00:12:05,791 --> 00:12:07,392
along with his buddy
Ed Singleton,
254
00:12:07,426 --> 00:12:10,295
Dillinger knocks over
a local grocery store,
255
00:12:10,329 --> 00:12:12,564
badly beating the owner.
256
00:12:12,598 --> 00:12:14,499
The judge throws the book
at him.
257
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:18,269
Just 21 years old,
John Dillinger is sentenced
258
00:12:18,304 --> 00:12:22,607
to 10 to 20 years for assault
and battery with intent to rob.
259
00:12:22,641 --> 00:12:25,477
When he's finally paroled
at the age of 30,
260
00:12:25,511 --> 00:12:28,279
he emerges
a fully formed criminal.
261
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:29,981
So it's like this one event
262
00:12:30,015 --> 00:12:30,882
at this grocery store
263
00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:33,151
completely alters the course
of his life?
264
00:12:33,185 --> 00:12:34,018
Yes.
265
00:12:38,124 --> 00:12:39,224
[Josh] In prison,
266
00:12:39,258 --> 00:12:41,726
John Dillinger hooks up
with seasoned bank robbers,
267
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:45,497
Handsome Harry Pierpont
and Fat Charles Makley.
268
00:12:45,531 --> 00:12:46,731
The gang later recruits
269
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:49,567
notorious killer,
Baby Face Nelson.
270
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:52,604
Dillinger becomes
a Depression era Robin Hood
271
00:12:52,638 --> 00:12:55,206
celebrated for
sticking it to the man
272
00:12:55,241 --> 00:12:56,407
by sticking up banks.
273
00:13:02,347 --> 00:13:03,715
But fame has its price.
274
00:13:03,749 --> 00:13:05,650
After a string
of bank robberies,
275
00:13:05,684 --> 00:13:07,685
he is again caught and captured
276
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,288
and sent to Crown Point
for trial.
277
00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:12,857
After his infamous jailbreak
278
00:13:12,892 --> 00:13:15,527
where he makes off
with the sheriff's car,
279
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:17,662
Dillinger rendezvous
with his girlfriend,
280
00:13:17,696 --> 00:13:19,464
Evelyn Billie Frechette.
281
00:13:20,533 --> 00:13:22,901
[Stewart] He decided to go
to his family farm.
282
00:13:22,935 --> 00:13:24,602
- [Josh] He went home?
- [Stewart] He went home.
283
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:26,437
Home is where the heart is.
284
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:28,807
You know, it also might be
where the money is.
285
00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:31,843
[Josh] Aha! So we're going
to the Dillinger farm?
286
00:13:31,877 --> 00:13:33,344
[Stewart] We're going
to the Dillinger farm.
287
00:13:33,379 --> 00:13:34,412
[Josh] I'm eager to hear
288
00:13:34,446 --> 00:13:36,381
what Stewart has uncovered here.
289
00:13:36,415 --> 00:13:37,515
And just past the house
290
00:13:37,550 --> 00:13:39,884
where John
spent his formative years,
291
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:41,853
and where he posed for
a now famous portrait
292
00:13:41,887 --> 00:13:46,057
when he returned home
on April 8th, 1934...
293
00:13:49,428 --> 00:13:51,629
I meet
Stewart's investigation team.
294
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,131
- [Josh] Hey, guys.
- [Stewart] Hey, guys.
295
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:54,165
- Hey.
- Hey.
296
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,300
Josh, this is Shane...
297
00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:56,201
- Shane.
- Nice to meet you.
298
00:13:56,235 --> 00:13:56,901
- ...Mike...
- Mike.
299
00:13:56,936 --> 00:13:57,669
...and Travis.
300
00:13:57,703 --> 00:13:58,603
Hey, how are you?
Nice to meet you.
301
00:13:58,637 --> 00:13:59,470
[Stewart] This is Josh Gates.
302
00:13:59,505 --> 00:14:00,538
[Josh] So, okay.
303
00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:03,208
You think there might be
something significant
304
00:14:03,242 --> 00:14:04,008
hidden here at the farm?
305
00:14:04,043 --> 00:14:05,009
Absolutely.
306
00:14:05,044 --> 00:14:06,911
Okay. I mean, look, logically,
that makes sense.
307
00:14:06,946 --> 00:14:09,380
Question is, is there
any evidence to support that?
308
00:14:09,415 --> 00:14:10,582
- Oh, yeah, there is.
- There is.
309
00:14:10,616 --> 00:14:11,482
There definitely is.
310
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:12,717
[Stewart] Well,
we found something
311
00:14:12,751 --> 00:14:15,486
that justifies
what we're talking about.
312
00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:18,022
- You wanna see it?
- Yes, I wanna see it.
313
00:14:20,426 --> 00:14:21,392
Here it is.
314
00:14:21,427 --> 00:14:24,028
You found a broken jar?
315
00:14:24,897 --> 00:14:27,131
What's inside was the big deal.
316
00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:27,999
What was in this?
317
00:14:31,370 --> 00:14:33,238
This was inside this jar?
318
00:14:33,272 --> 00:14:34,305
[Stewart] Inside the jar.
319
00:14:35,507 --> 00:14:37,075
[Josh] Are you kidding me?
320
00:14:40,646 --> 00:14:42,981
[Josh] Infamous bank robber,
John Dillinger,
321
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:45,717
is rumored to have stashed
cash and savings bonds
322
00:14:45,751 --> 00:14:49,120
on his father's farm
in Mooresville, Indiana.
323
00:14:49,622 --> 00:14:51,155
Now, a search team
324
00:14:51,190 --> 00:14:54,492
being led by ex-FBI agent,
Stewart Fillmore,
325
00:14:54,526 --> 00:14:55,460
is on the case.
326
00:14:55,494 --> 00:14:58,196
You think there might be
something significant
327
00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:59,330
hidden here at the farm?
328
00:14:59,365 --> 00:15:00,632
- Yes, we do.
- [Stewart] We do, yes.
329
00:15:00,666 --> 00:15:03,468
I think the best source is
330
00:15:03,502 --> 00:15:05,737
a legend from the Dillinger
family themselves.
331
00:15:05,771 --> 00:15:08,573
Mike Thompson
is Dillinger's nephew
332
00:15:08,607 --> 00:15:10,608
and Travis is his great-nephew.
333
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:11,743
- [Josh] Really?
- [Travis chuckles]
334
00:15:11,777 --> 00:15:13,578
I'm the closest living relative
335
00:15:13,612 --> 00:15:15,346
other than my sister.
336
00:15:15,381 --> 00:15:16,314
You can say, you know,
337
00:15:16,348 --> 00:15:18,483
John's father
is our grandfather.
338
00:15:18,517 --> 00:15:20,351
Wow. You're not gonna
rob me, are you?
339
00:15:20,386 --> 00:15:21,352
- [Mike] Not yet.
- [Josh] Okay.
340
00:15:21,387 --> 00:15:22,453
-[all laughing]
341
00:15:22,488 --> 00:15:23,821
And this is a family story
342
00:15:23,856 --> 00:15:24,856
that there was money
hidden here at the farm?
343
00:15:24,890 --> 00:15:28,092
Yeah. There was always stories
amongst the family
344
00:15:28,127 --> 00:15:30,428
that there was definitely...
could have been money hid.
345
00:15:30,462 --> 00:15:32,530
[Josh] With generations
of family reports
346
00:15:32,564 --> 00:15:34,565
that loot was buried
on the farm,
347
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,868
the team begins
to search the property.
348
00:15:36,902 --> 00:15:40,438
Stewart's shovel smashed
a buried mason jar.
349
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:41,706
What they found inside
350
00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:45,410
may rewrite the story
of Public Enemy No. 1.
351
00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:46,377
Are you kidding me?
352
00:15:46,412 --> 00:15:49,047
A 1934 Shell roadmap.
353
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:51,649
[Josh] This was inside this jar?
354
00:15:51,683 --> 00:15:52,784
[Stewart] Inside the jar.
355
00:15:52,818 --> 00:15:54,686
And do we know anything
about the jar?
356
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,587
[Stewart] It's also from
the same time period.
357
00:15:56,622 --> 00:16:00,358
It was manufactured between
1923 and 1933.
358
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:01,559
And you dug this up where?
359
00:16:01,593 --> 00:16:03,461
Just a few feet from here
on the property.
360
00:16:03,495 --> 00:16:05,563
[Josh] This is so crazy to me.
361
00:16:05,597 --> 00:16:07,332
Be prepared
to look back into history.
362
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:08,232
[Josh] Ready?
363
00:16:11,403 --> 00:16:13,571
[chuckling] Oh! Look at this!
364
00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:14,839
- Yep.
- It's marked up.
365
00:16:14,873 --> 00:16:15,707
It is.
366
00:16:15,741 --> 00:16:17,342
[Josh] Okay, so we've got
this blue line
367
00:16:17,376 --> 00:16:18,743
that goes all over.
368
00:16:18,777 --> 00:16:20,478
I mean, really, top to bottom...
369
00:16:20,512 --> 00:16:21,446
Yes.
370
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,214
...across the middle part
of the country here.
371
00:16:23,248 --> 00:16:24,426
And it goes through where?
372
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:25,583
That's Great Falls, Montana.
373
00:16:25,617 --> 00:16:29,387
Great Falls, Montana
up until Winnipeg, Canada...
374
00:16:29,421 --> 00:16:32,957
south through Iowa,
Kansas City, Wichita,
375
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:35,293
and then a bunch of things
coming out of Little Rock.
376
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:36,627
...that seem to form an arrow.
377
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:37,662
- [Josh] Oh, this you mean?
- [Stewart] Uh-huh.
378
00:16:37,696 --> 00:16:39,330
[Mike]
You can see it really well.
379
00:16:39,365 --> 00:16:40,932
And then are these all dates?
380
00:16:40,966 --> 00:16:41,933
Yes.
381
00:16:41,967 --> 00:16:44,802
August 4th, July 29th,
July 14th, June 22nd...
382
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:47,472
I mean, did theses dates
line up to robberies
383
00:16:47,506 --> 00:16:48,606
or significant events?
384
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,508
[Stewart] June 22nd,
that's his birthday.
385
00:16:50,542 --> 00:16:51,576
That can't be an accident.
386
00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:52,744
But the other dates
387
00:16:52,778 --> 00:16:55,613
do not match up
to any known bank robberies.
388
00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:58,016
Could this have been
a future route
389
00:16:58,050 --> 00:16:59,584
or banks they wanted to hit
or something?
390
00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:01,986
Possible. It was buried
for a reason.
391
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:03,521
- Yeah.
- He didn't want this found.
392
00:17:03,555 --> 00:17:06,257
- [Josh] Right.
- So what is it hiding?
393
00:17:06,291 --> 00:17:06,858
What's it's meaning?
394
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,594
[Josh] This is
an astounding artefact.
395
00:17:09,628 --> 00:17:10,395
It is.
396
00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:11,562
But how do we know it's his?
397
00:17:11,597 --> 00:17:14,599
The same weekend that
John and Billie came here,
398
00:17:14,633 --> 00:17:17,368
John took a trip with
his brother, Hubert.
399
00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:21,639
Hubert who was driving,
400
00:17:21,673 --> 00:17:23,641
fell asleep and wrecked the car.
401
00:17:23,675 --> 00:17:26,577
When the FBI and
the Indiana State Police,
402
00:17:26,612 --> 00:17:29,447
uh, found the wreck,
they recovered
403
00:17:29,481 --> 00:17:33,551
a 1934 Indiana Shell roadmap
404
00:17:33,585 --> 00:17:35,853
that had strange numbers
written on it.
405
00:17:36,688 --> 00:17:38,956
[Josh] There was
another Shell map
406
00:17:38,991 --> 00:17:40,525
- with weird markings on it...
- Yes.
407
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:42,593
- ...found in a Dillinger car?
- Yes.
408
00:17:42,628 --> 00:17:43,661
It was a car that...
409
00:17:43,695 --> 00:17:45,430
- I mean, you're home.
- Yes.
410
00:17:45,464 --> 00:17:46,631
- You're home.
- Yes.
411
00:17:46,665 --> 00:17:47,598
That's amazing.
412
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:51,135
This really has
an excellent chance of being
413
00:17:51,170 --> 00:17:53,504
an authentic part
of this Dillinger story.
414
00:17:53,539 --> 00:17:54,372
Yes.
415
00:17:54,406 --> 00:17:55,373
This is really, really cool.
416
00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:56,741
It's an untold story.
417
00:17:56,775 --> 00:17:58,476
[Josh] And especially
with the stories
418
00:17:58,510 --> 00:18:00,478
that money was buried
on this farm,
419
00:18:00,512 --> 00:18:02,947
that may mean that
there's more here to find.
420
00:18:02,981 --> 00:18:05,550
That's actually the next stage
of our investigation
421
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:08,953
is to scan with GPR,
Ground Penetrating Radar,
422
00:18:08,987 --> 00:18:09,787
metal detect it,
423
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:12,056
um, and really
do a thorough search.
424
00:18:12,691 --> 00:18:14,358
I'm ready to work. Let's go.
425
00:18:14,393 --> 00:18:16,394
Everybody, pick up a shovel.
Come on.
426
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:21,399
[Josh] We gear up to scour
the old Dillinger property.
427
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:22,300
[machine beeps]
428
00:18:22,334 --> 00:18:23,634
With a ton of ground to cover,
429
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:25,236
we divide and conquer.
430
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:27,405
[metal detector beeping]
431
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:28,673
Mike and I work our way
432
00:18:28,707 --> 00:18:30,475
along the edge of the property,
433
00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:32,510
while Stewart, Shane, and Travis
434
00:18:32,544 --> 00:18:35,346
in what used to be
the Dillinger orchard.
435
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:38,182
[metal detector beeping]
436
00:18:38,217 --> 00:18:38,983
Got a good hit here.
437
00:18:39,518 --> 00:18:42,520
[metal detector beeping]
438
00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:44,589
Let's get a shovel in there
and see what we got.
439
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:46,090
That's it, right there.
440
00:18:50,929 --> 00:18:53,698
[Josh] And soon, Shane's team
gets a hit as well.
441
00:18:53,732 --> 00:18:54,732
- [metal detector beeping]
- Right there.
442
00:18:54,766 --> 00:18:56,467
You want me to dig
right where that's at?
443
00:18:56,502 --> 00:18:57,435
Yeah, right in the center,
444
00:18:57,469 --> 00:18:59,003
right about where that leaf is.
445
00:19:03,408 --> 00:19:04,509
What have you got?
446
00:19:04,543 --> 00:19:06,277
There's something.
I keep hitting it.
447
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:09,113
It's down in this hole.
448
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:10,214
[grunts]
449
00:19:10,249 --> 00:19:12,416
[metal detector beeping]
450
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:16,387
We got something here.
451
00:19:18,423 --> 00:19:20,057
Hey, I found a nut.
452
00:19:21,460 --> 00:19:22,760
There it is, the wrench.
453
00:19:22,794 --> 00:19:24,495
- A wrench.
- We found a wrench.
454
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:25,062
Found a wrench!
455
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:25,997
We're one bolt away
456
00:19:26,031 --> 00:19:28,266
from a home improvement
project right now.
457
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:28,799
[man laughing]
458
00:19:29,535 --> 00:19:31,402
Man, it looks pretty old to me.
459
00:19:31,436 --> 00:19:33,004
This is about where
the barn was.
460
00:19:33,038 --> 00:19:33,804
Okay.
461
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:35,373
It could have been
Grandad's tool.
462
00:19:35,407 --> 00:19:36,741
- That would make sense.
- Yeah.
463
00:19:36,775 --> 00:19:39,277
Well, we're finding stuff.
It's a start.
464
00:19:41,547 --> 00:19:43,714
[metal detectors beeping]
465
00:19:43,749 --> 00:19:46,150
[Josh] Our detectors
keep beeping.
466
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,286
[metal detector beeping]
467
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,687
Yeah, we got a hit here.
468
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:51,222
[Josh] But all we pull out
of the ground
469
00:19:51,256 --> 00:19:52,390
is scrap metal.
470
00:19:52,424 --> 00:19:53,257
Nail.
471
00:19:57,462 --> 00:19:59,430
To kick this search
into high gear,
472
00:19:59,464 --> 00:20:01,766
Shane is bringing out
the big guns,
473
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,701
Ground Penetrating Radar.
474
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:07,672
There are radio waves.
They generate from the box,
475
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:10,608
they go down,
once they hit an object,
476
00:20:10,642 --> 00:20:13,444
it bounces back up
and displays on our screen.
477
00:20:13,478 --> 00:20:15,780
We're looking for evidence
of ground that's been
478
00:20:15,814 --> 00:20:17,682
churned up where something
might have been buried.
479
00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:20,585
And so, here in Indiana,
in this kind of soil,
480
00:20:20,619 --> 00:20:22,787
you're typically able
to see down about how far?
481
00:20:22,821 --> 00:20:25,056
- Four to six feet.
- [Josh] Four to six feet.
482
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:30,761
[Josh] Stewart and his team
483
00:20:30,796 --> 00:20:32,763
continue to search
with metal detectors
484
00:20:32,798 --> 00:20:36,634
working their way into a gully
the bulky radar can't reach,
485
00:20:36,668 --> 00:20:39,337
while I run tracks
on the flat ground.
486
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:46,210
- Oh, wow.
- Big hit.
487
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:48,512
Oh! Look at that.
488
00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:49,480
Even I...
489
00:20:49,514 --> 00:20:51,082
can tell that
that is an anomaly.
490
00:20:51,116 --> 00:20:54,452
We're looking at right about
two feet down.
491
00:20:54,486 --> 00:20:55,553
We got something over here.
492
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:58,122
The ginger beard club
is on fire...
493
00:20:58,156 --> 00:20:58,489
[chuckling]
494
00:20:58,523 --> 00:20:59,690
...today.
495
00:20:59,725 --> 00:21:00,658
I think there's a good chance,
by the way,
496
00:21:00,692 --> 00:21:02,260
that Mike and I
might be related.
497
00:21:02,294 --> 00:21:03,261
Does anybody else see that?
498
00:21:03,295 --> 00:21:04,028
[all laughing]
499
00:21:04,062 --> 00:21:05,963
[Josh] The signature is strong.
500
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:09,133
So we dig it right away.
501
00:21:09,468 --> 00:21:11,602
[knocking]
502
00:21:11,637 --> 00:21:13,070
There's something there.
503
00:21:14,306 --> 00:21:16,073
Okay. Let's see
what we got here.
504
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:17,308
It is...
505
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:20,244
a giant rock.
506
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:22,013
Okay.
507
00:21:28,487 --> 00:21:31,322
[Josh] We flag more
anomalies with the radar.
508
00:21:31,356 --> 00:21:33,024
It's something.
509
00:21:34,526 --> 00:21:35,626
Huge rock...
510
00:21:35,661 --> 00:21:38,162
And unearth more buried
boulders.
511
00:21:38,664 --> 00:21:40,398
...is what that is.
512
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:42,967
[rock 'n' roll music playing]
513
00:21:45,337 --> 00:21:48,539
Can you guys just dig a hole big
enough for me and just lay me down in it?
514
00:21:48,573 --> 00:21:50,241
- Is that possible?
- Sure.
515
00:21:50,275 --> 00:21:51,409
Appreciate that.
516
00:21:51,443 --> 00:21:53,311
Meanwhile, in the ravine...
517
00:21:53,345 --> 00:21:54,612
All right, what do we got here?
518
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,913
[laughs]
519
00:21:55,947 --> 00:21:58,482
-Is that a "B"?
-That is a "B". Look at that.
520
00:21:58,517 --> 00:21:59,550
Oh, yeah.
521
00:21:59,584 --> 00:22:01,419
[Stewart over radio] Stewart
for Josh, come in.
522
00:22:02,587 --> 00:22:03,754
Go for Josh.
523
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:05,756
Josh, can you come down
to the gully?
524
00:22:05,791 --> 00:22:08,125
We've found something
really exciting.
525
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,093
You've got to see it.
526
00:22:09,127 --> 00:22:11,395
[Stewart] We've got an
intact mason jar.
527
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:13,331
Okay, I'm coming down.
I'll be right back.
528
00:22:13,365 --> 00:22:15,032
Okay, I'm coming. I'm on my way.
529
00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:20,304
[Stewart] Josh, you gotta
see this. Look.
530
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:21,605
Look at that, it's the exact
same.
531
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,341
It's the exact same one, look.
532
00:22:25,377 --> 00:22:26,644
[Josh] That's incredible.
533
00:22:26,678 --> 00:22:28,779
-We wanna be as delicate
as we can, um, -Sure.
534
00:22:28,814 --> 00:22:31,716
To pull this out, so we're
gonna dig around it
535
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:34,418
very, very carefully
and brush as we go
536
00:22:34,453 --> 00:22:35,419
and remove this dirt.
537
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:39,857
- [Travis] We got another jar.
- [Josh] There's another jar beside it.
538
00:22:40,826 --> 00:22:43,728
It looks to be substantially
intact as well.
539
00:22:44,162 --> 00:22:45,696
Look, right here.
540
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:47,298
- We got a lid on this.
- Oh, wow.
541
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:48,699
- [laughs]
- Oh, wow.
542
00:22:48,734 --> 00:22:51,635
[Josh] The team has
uncovered a cash of ball jars
543
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:52,903
from the Dillinger era,
544
00:22:52,938 --> 00:22:57,041
mere feet from where the
mysterious map was discovered.
545
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:00,978
- It looks clear underneath.
- Yeah, come on.
546
00:23:01,012 --> 00:23:03,581
- Like pullin' a fish out of the water.
- Come on, you got it.
547
00:23:03,615 --> 00:23:05,282
[all exclaiming]
548
00:23:05,317 --> 00:23:06,951
- There it is.
- Look at that!
549
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:08,853
[Josh] That's just awesome.
550
00:23:09,821 --> 00:23:11,722
- Isn't that great?
- [Stewart] That's awesome.
551
00:23:11,757 --> 00:23:14,558
That is the same color
as the map jar.
552
00:23:14,593 --> 00:23:15,626
- That's amazing.
- Yeah, yeah.
553
00:23:15,660 --> 00:23:17,928
Okay, so I'm gonna hand this
to you very carefully.
554
00:23:17,963 --> 00:23:22,133
That jar could've been
down there at least 87 years.
555
00:23:23,034 --> 00:23:24,101
- [Josh] You see anything in there?
- No.
556
00:23:24,136 --> 00:23:27,571
But there's a lot of
compacted dirt still in there.
557
00:23:27,606 --> 00:23:29,907
Right, but doesn't look like
anything significant?
558
00:23:29,941 --> 00:23:31,041
No, no.
559
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:33,344
We got another one next
to it here that's a lot looser.
560
00:23:35,380 --> 00:23:37,181
- [Stewart] Smaller.
- Yeah.
561
00:23:39,484 --> 00:23:41,585
Intact with the lid on.
562
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:43,454
There's a little bit of debris
in the bottom,
563
00:23:43,488 --> 00:23:45,589
almost looks like two
pieces of metal.
564
00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:48,225
- Ooh.
- I can't believe you can turn that.
565
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:49,193
Yeah.
566
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:53,097
Yeah.
567
00:23:53,131 --> 00:23:57,334
The fact that it's in this kind of
condition is just absolutely remarkable.
568
00:23:57,369 --> 00:23:59,069
See what else is in this hole.
569
00:24:00,372 --> 00:24:04,208
[Josh] Beneath the first three
jars, we find shattered glass
570
00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:08,145
and compelling evidence that
something was hidden inside.
571
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:11,081
[Stewart] Cloth here.
Oh, wow. Look at this.
572
00:24:11,783 --> 00:24:12,683
- Is it inside a jar?
- Yes.
573
00:24:12,717 --> 00:24:14,018
Yes, it was in glass.
574
00:24:14,052 --> 00:24:18,556
So this is a bottom of the
jar, this was potentially in a jar.
575
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:20,291
- Like stuffed down in a jar.
- Uh-huh.
576
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:21,358
[device beeps]
577
00:24:21,393 --> 00:24:22,793
There's metal right beneath it.
578
00:24:22,828 --> 00:24:24,929
Oh, hold on I got metal.
Metal, metal, metal!
579
00:24:24,963 --> 00:24:27,498
- [Stewart] Is that a coin?
- [Josh] Oh, we got a coin I think. Ooh.
580
00:24:27,532 --> 00:24:29,200
- Look at that.
- Maybe, yup.
581
00:24:29,234 --> 00:24:30,935
- [device beeps]
- [laughs]
582
00:24:31,570 --> 00:24:33,037
[Josh] Look at that!
583
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:39,677
[Josh] On John Dillinger's
family farm in Indiana,
584
00:24:39,711 --> 00:24:42,780
we're searching for missing
loot and artefacts
585
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:46,584
left behind by America's most
legendary bank robber.
586
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:49,587
- Is that a coin?
- Oh, we got a coin I think.
587
00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:50,821
[Stewart] That's it,
right there.
588
00:24:50,856 --> 00:24:52,623
That's unbelievable.
589
00:24:52,657 --> 00:24:55,459
No, it's not a coin. It's
too wide to be a coin.
590
00:24:55,494 --> 00:24:56,861
[Stewart] You know what that is?
591
00:24:57,395 --> 00:24:59,463
That is a shotgun shell.
592
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:01,332
- That's the back of the casing.
- Exactly.
593
00:25:02,567 --> 00:25:04,735
That primer cap
has been dented in.
594
00:25:04,769 --> 00:25:07,771
Which means, this was fired
on the Dillinger property.
595
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:11,775
- This isn't a modern shotgun shell.
- [Stewart] Exactly.
596
00:25:11,810 --> 00:25:13,511
[Travis] What does it say
on the head stamp?
597
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:15,546
"Winchester Repeater..."
598
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:16,614
- 20 gauge.
- [Josh] 20 gauge.
599
00:25:16,648 --> 00:25:18,516
-Right there in the middle. 20 gauge.
-20 gauge.
600
00:25:18,550 --> 00:25:20,784
- That is insane.
- [all chuckling]
601
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:25,856
[Josh] This style shotgun shell
was produced from 1896 to 1938,
602
00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:29,426
which puts us right in the
heart of the Dillinger era.
603
00:25:30,428 --> 00:25:32,696
- When you think Dillinger...
- [Stewart] Yeah.
604
00:25:32,731 --> 00:25:34,398
- You think guns.
- You think guns.
605
00:25:34,432 --> 00:25:35,599
- I mean, you do.
- Yeah.
606
00:25:35,634 --> 00:25:39,581
Dillinger himself or his
father may have shot this.
607
00:25:39,605 --> 00:25:41,071
Well, it makes it personal.
608
00:25:41,106 --> 00:25:45,843
The closest thing to shaking their
hand is pulling this out of the ground.
609
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:50,548
He is this criminal, villain, mastermind,
whatever you wanna call him,
610
00:25:50,582 --> 00:25:53,751
but he also was a kid
out at this farm,
611
00:25:53,785 --> 00:25:56,787
- I mean, he was a teenager right here.
- He was, that's right.
612
00:25:56,821 --> 00:25:58,255
I have to ask the two
of you, especially,
613
00:25:58,290 --> 00:25:59,823
as family members,
614
00:25:59,858 --> 00:26:03,494
Dillinger kind of has this reputation
sometimes as like a Robinhood character,
615
00:26:03,528 --> 00:26:05,195
how do you see him?
616
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:07,498
At the end he got such a raw
deal the first time he went to jail.
617
00:26:07,532 --> 00:26:08,999
[Josh] Because he did
almost 10 years, right?
618
00:26:09,034 --> 00:26:11,569
Took his young adult life
away from him.
619
00:26:11,603 --> 00:26:13,470
[Josh] Right.
620
00:26:13,505 --> 00:26:17,508
The sentiment that Dillinger got a raw
deal or a strict sentence for what he did,
621
00:26:17,542 --> 00:26:20,411
- uh, was felt in the town so much so...
- Right.
622
00:26:20,445 --> 00:26:22,012
That they signed a petition
to try to
623
00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:24,949
- lower his sentence.
- So you see him as, kind of, a product of the system?
624
00:26:24,983 --> 00:26:27,151
- Yeah, basically.
- He came out hardened from jail.
625
00:26:27,185 --> 00:26:28,819
Exactly.
626
00:26:28,853 --> 00:26:31,889
[Josh] Newsreel footage of Dillinger's
father from after John's visit to the farm
627
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:36,594
reveals the emotional toll the
crime spree took on the family.
628
00:26:36,628 --> 00:26:39,563
I don't know where my
son John is at.
629
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:43,601
If John could be exonerated from
this crime and come back home,
630
00:26:43,635 --> 00:26:48,372
I think he'd make a good citizen
or a good officer of some kind.
631
00:26:50,008 --> 00:26:51,241
- This is something really special.
- It is.
632
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:53,677
So here you go, a little piece
of family history right there.
633
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:54,845
Pretty cool.
634
00:26:54,879 --> 00:26:56,814
- This farm is like, it's like a history book.
- It is.
635
00:26:56,848 --> 00:26:59,583
And we're just peeling one
page at a time out of the ground.
636
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:02,886
- Exactly. No, I agree.
- So there's more to be done here.
637
00:27:02,921 --> 00:27:06,657
[Josh] The Mooresville team will continue
to investigate the Dillinger family farm
638
00:27:06,691 --> 00:27:08,792
in hopes of a big payoff.
639
00:27:08,827 --> 00:27:11,962
Meanwhile, Stewart is making
preparations to pull on
640
00:27:11,997 --> 00:27:16,200
another loose thread in the
case hundreds of miles away.
641
00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:20,471
Before I join him there,
I'm making a detour
642
00:27:20,505 --> 00:27:23,841
to one of Dillinger's favorite
haunts, the windy city.
643
00:27:24,509 --> 00:27:25,876
I pull over in Lincoln Park,
644
00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:30,981
the location of the final
scene in Dillinger's outlaw life.
645
00:27:32,350 --> 00:27:33,484
The Biograph theatre.
646
00:27:33,518 --> 00:27:35,819
July 22nd, 1934.
647
00:27:35,854 --> 00:27:38,522
Dillinger's out for a night
on the town,
648
00:27:38,556 --> 00:27:39,723
and he takes in a picture show.
649
00:27:39,758 --> 00:27:41,792
But the FBI has been tipped off.
650
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:44,628
And when he exits the
building, they make their move.
651
00:27:45,964 --> 00:27:49,700
-G man Melvin Purvis gives
the signal - [lighter clacks]
652
00:27:50,235 --> 00:27:50,934
lighting his cigar.
653
00:27:51,903 --> 00:27:54,838
Bullets fly, and when
the dust settles,
654
00:27:54,873 --> 00:27:58,409
John Dillinger is dead
at the age of 31.
655
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:02,546
This alley, right in this spot
656
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:05,416
is where public enemy
number one met his end.
657
00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:08,185
Today, memorialized by a mural,
658
00:28:08,219 --> 00:28:12,656
the authorities found a mere
$7.70 in Dillinger's pocket,
659
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:16,493
which means there's a
fortune in bonds and cash
660
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:18,462
still unaccounted for.
661
00:28:18,496 --> 00:28:19,997
So, where did it go?
662
00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:22,366
Well, we're headed north
to find out.
663
00:28:24,302 --> 00:28:28,138
Following Dillinger's footsteps,
and a new lead from ex-FBI agent
664
00:28:28,173 --> 00:28:29,840
Stewart Fillmore,
665
00:28:29,874 --> 00:28:35,779
I head five and a half hours north of
Chicago to Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin.
666
00:28:35,814 --> 00:28:39,416
On a quiet road, I turn
onto a tree line drive
667
00:28:39,451 --> 00:28:42,419
which leads to a hidden
and historic gem,
668
00:28:42,454 --> 00:28:45,789
a lakeside lodge known
as Little Bohemia.
669
00:28:45,824 --> 00:28:50,127
On the I am, Dillinger
arrived here in April of 1934.
670
00:28:50,161 --> 00:28:55,299
He was hoping for a little R&R,
but it was the last thing he'd find here.
671
00:28:55,333 --> 00:28:57,034
Hey, long time no see!
672
00:28:57,068 --> 00:28:58,435
- [Stewart] Hey, Josh!
- What's goin' on man?
673
00:28:58,470 --> 00:28:59,503
How are you?
674
00:28:59,537 --> 00:29:01,038
-Hey, I'm Josh.
-Hey, Josh, Dan. Nice to meet you.
675
00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:01,739
Nice to meet you too.
676
00:29:01,773 --> 00:29:03,741
So Josh, this is Dan Johns Jr.
677
00:29:03,775 --> 00:29:07,611
His folks, Dan and Debbie
Johns actually own Little Bohemia.
678
00:29:07,645 --> 00:29:10,481
[Josh] This is a place that
looms large in the Dillinger story.
679
00:29:10,515 --> 00:29:11,682
- [Stewart] Very much so.
- [Dan] Very much.
680
00:29:11,716 --> 00:29:13,851
We're pretty far from
Louisville, why up here?
681
00:29:13,885 --> 00:29:15,753
- For that very reason, it's remote.
- Right.
682
00:29:15,787 --> 00:29:19,656
This is way off the beaten path for
where the Dillinger gang was running.
683
00:29:19,691 --> 00:29:22,493
[Josh] A rogue's gallery
of Dillinger associates
684
00:29:22,527 --> 00:29:24,461
made the trek to Little Bohemia.
685
00:29:24,496 --> 00:29:27,831
Including Baby face Nelson,
John Red Hamilton.
686
00:29:27,866 --> 00:29:31,034
And gangster groupies,
the press-stubbed Gun molls.
687
00:29:31,069 --> 00:29:35,339
But ultimately, he doesn't lay low
because things go bad up here, right?
688
00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:36,540
Things go real bad up here.
689
00:29:36,574 --> 00:29:37,941
How does it go bad?
690
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:39,510
If you wanna come inside,
I can show you.
691
00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:40,611
- You'll show me?
- [Dan] Yup.
692
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:42,379
- Lead on.
- Yeah.
693
00:29:42,413 --> 00:29:46,083
[Josh] Inside the historic
lodge is like a time capsule.
694
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,654
It might also be my
new favorite bar.
695
00:29:50,688 --> 00:29:53,891
Preserved in all of
its gangster era glory.
696
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:56,326
Just be careful
what shots you order.
697
00:29:57,796 --> 00:29:59,730
Here we have some of the
things that the gang left behind.
698
00:29:59,764 --> 00:30:01,598
'Cause they left in
a pretty big hurry.
699
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:03,467
- [Josh] These are original items?
- [Stewart] They are.
700
00:30:03,501 --> 00:30:04,701
Oh, come on!
701
00:30:04,736 --> 00:30:07,404
So this is one of the
gang member's toiletry kits.
702
00:30:07,438 --> 00:30:08,739
Complete with Ex-Lax.
703
00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:11,775
Look at that.
They were smooth criminals.
704
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:14,611
- I'm sorry.
- This one's even still packed.
705
00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:15,712
- [Josh] Oh!
- [Stewart] Wow!
706
00:30:15,747 --> 00:30:17,414
- These are their clothes?
- They are.
707
00:30:17,448 --> 00:30:19,750
- Wow.
- This is... this is mind melting
708
00:30:19,784 --> 00:30:22,853
to see original clothing
and items from the gang.
709
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:24,922
Now, all this stuff is here
710
00:30:24,956 --> 00:30:28,492
because the gang ended up
hightailing out of here, right?
711
00:30:28,526 --> 00:30:31,728
So, what happens?
The FBI raided this place.
712
00:30:31,763 --> 00:30:33,997
[Stewart] It was actually the
owner's wife that tipped them off.
713
00:30:34,032 --> 00:30:37,935
[Josh] With Dillinger and his gang
becoming feared national celebrities,
714
00:30:37,969 --> 00:30:41,872
the locals here get nervous
and tip off the FBI.
715
00:30:41,906 --> 00:30:46,788
Desperate to collar Dillinger, the
bureau rushes to Little Bohemia.
716
00:30:46,812 --> 00:30:50,848
Their intelligence is, that the
gang is about to leave imminently.
717
00:30:51,983 --> 00:30:54,551
When they roll up, there
are three people leaving.
718
00:30:54,586 --> 00:30:57,487
A quick decision was made
and they opened fire on the car.
719
00:30:57,522 --> 00:30:59,756
[gun firing]
720
00:30:59,791 --> 00:31:02,292
Tragically,
it was three civilians
721
00:31:02,327 --> 00:31:04,695
- and one of them was killed.
- Wow.
722
00:31:04,729 --> 00:31:08,332
[Josh] Alerted by the sound
of gunfire and barking dogs,
723
00:31:08,366 --> 00:31:10,667
Dillinger slips out
a back window.
724
00:31:10,702 --> 00:31:15,038
In the chaotic events that follow,
an FBI agent is gunned down.
725
00:31:15,607 --> 00:31:16,907
Take a look here, Josh,
726
00:31:16,941 --> 00:31:19,209
some of the original bullet
holes are in the window behind us.
727
00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:22,679
- This is from the gun fight?
- Correct. It is.
728
00:31:22,714 --> 00:31:25,682
-They are all shot up. Look at these!
-[Stewart] Oh, man.
729
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:28,352
- This lodge was just getting hammered.
- Yes.
730
00:31:30,455 --> 00:31:33,390
[Josh] Wow. And the FBI
gets none of them?
731
00:31:33,424 --> 00:31:35,492
None of them. They all get away.
732
00:31:35,526 --> 00:31:37,194
[Josh] Over and over again,
733
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,496
Dillinger gets out of situations
he has no right to survive?
734
00:31:39,530 --> 00:31:40,931
That's exactly right.
He's the jackrabbit.
735
00:31:40,965 --> 00:31:43,567
- So he'll leave everything behind.
- Right.
736
00:31:43,601 --> 00:31:45,402
- Including the loot?
- They didn't take it with them.
737
00:31:45,436 --> 00:31:46,770
Well, what we know is,
738
00:31:46,804 --> 00:31:49,706
there's a statement from gang
member John Hamilton's girlfriend,
739
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:51,541
her name was Pat Cherrington.
740
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:55,479
She told a reporter that there
was a suitcase buried here
741
00:31:55,513 --> 00:31:57,481
with a large amount
of cash in it.
742
00:31:57,515 --> 00:31:58,649
They were here for several days.
743
00:31:58,683 --> 00:32:00,751
So they had
plenty of time to do this.
744
00:32:00,785 --> 00:32:02,619
- This is more than a rumor.
- Yeah. It is.
745
00:32:02,654 --> 00:32:05,789
- It's actually the statement.
- From an eyewitness.
746
00:32:05,823 --> 00:32:08,859
Also, we know that the gang
escaped toward the lake, right?
747
00:32:08,893 --> 00:32:11,662
So if they had something that
they wanted to get rid of,
748
00:32:11,696 --> 00:32:14,464
it's better that the lake
gets it than the cops, right?
749
00:32:14,499 --> 00:32:16,500
So either on land
or in the water.
750
00:32:16,534 --> 00:32:19,469
We decide to start our search
in Little Star Lake,
751
00:32:19,504 --> 00:32:21,872
directly behind the lodge.
752
00:32:21,906 --> 00:32:24,408
Until recently,
the lake was covered in ice.
753
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:26,443
So, we called in reinforcements.
754
00:32:27,412 --> 00:32:28,612
- What's going on?
- Hey!
755
00:32:28,646 --> 00:32:29,880
Josh, you remember these guys?
756
00:32:29,914 --> 00:32:32,349
Oh, yes.
I have PTSD from these guys.
757
00:32:32,383 --> 00:32:33,951
What's going on?
It's good to see you.
758
00:32:33,985 --> 00:32:36,520
Dan Carlson
is an ice diving expert.
759
00:32:36,554 --> 00:32:38,655
And as far as I'm concerned,
a sadist.
760
00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:40,057
We nearly froze to death
761
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:44,728
looking for a lost pair of ruby
slippers from The Wizard of Oz.
762
00:32:44,762 --> 00:32:49,533
Dan's terrific dive team and ROV
pilots Dave Phillips and Tom Crossman
763
00:32:49,567 --> 00:32:50,901
are the best in the business.
764
00:32:50,935 --> 00:32:54,571
And now, we're ready
to brave another frigid lake.
765
00:32:54,605 --> 00:32:56,406
- Weather's a lot nicer today.
- Yes.
766
00:32:56,441 --> 00:32:57,741
It's warmer here.
767
00:32:57,775 --> 00:33:01,445
The water though,
ice was on here two days ago.
768
00:33:01,479 --> 00:33:03,313
So, I didn't catch
too much of a break.
769
00:33:05,683 --> 00:33:09,286
To avoid hypothermia,
we bundle up in dry suits.
770
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,421
While Tom, Dave and Stewart
771
00:33:11,456 --> 00:33:13,657
setup an ROV equipped with sonar
772
00:33:13,691 --> 00:33:16,426
to help guide us
to potential targets.
773
00:33:16,461 --> 00:33:17,995
We're also armed
with metal detectors
774
00:33:18,029 --> 00:33:22,332
as we make the long cold walk
off the end of a short pier.
775
00:33:23,301 --> 00:33:25,102
[Dan Josh speaking]
776
00:33:32,777 --> 00:33:35,912
- [Josh speaking]
- Josh, go for Stewart.
777
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:37,981
[Josh speaking]
778
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:42,386
[sonar beeping]
779
00:33:44,188 --> 00:33:45,389
[Josh speaking]
780
00:33:56,267 --> 00:33:57,000
[metal detector beeps]
781
00:33:57,568 --> 00:34:00,303
[Dan and Josh speaking]
782
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:20,524
[Josh] With just
four feet of visibility,
783
00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:22,659
we're operating
almost in the blind.
784
00:34:22,693 --> 00:34:25,328
So the sonar acts as our eyes.
785
00:34:26,464 --> 00:34:28,432
Hey, we got something
right there. See it?
786
00:34:29,667 --> 00:34:32,402
Hey, Josh,
we've got a really good hit.
787
00:34:32,437 --> 00:34:34,271
[Stewart speaking]
788
00:34:35,273 --> 00:34:36,973
[Josh speaking]
789
00:34:37,008 --> 00:34:39,276
Can't tell,
but it is really interesting.
790
00:34:39,310 --> 00:34:41,011
It's got a unique shape to it.
791
00:34:41,446 --> 00:34:42,846
[Josh speaking]
792
00:34:43,981 --> 00:34:47,317
[Josh] Dillinger is said
to have chucked a container
793
00:34:47,351 --> 00:34:49,019
filled with cash into the drink.
794
00:34:49,554 --> 00:34:51,321
[metal detector beeping]
795
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:54,257
That is clearly manmade.
796
00:34:55,393 --> 00:34:56,993
[Josh speaking]
797
00:35:04,569 --> 00:35:06,369
[Stewart speaking]
798
00:35:12,176 --> 00:35:13,276
[Josh speaking]
799
00:35:19,650 --> 00:35:22,886
[Josh] I'm searching for John
Dillinger's legendary lost loot
800
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,324
in a lake behind Little Bohemia
lodge in northern Wisconsin.
801
00:35:30,294 --> 00:35:31,328
[Josh speaking]
802
00:35:46,544 --> 00:35:48,178
[Dan speaking]
803
00:35:50,548 --> 00:35:52,215
[Josh speaking]
804
00:35:54,619 --> 00:35:56,153
[Josh grunts]
805
00:35:57,455 --> 00:35:59,089
[Josh and Stewart speaking]
806
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,228
- Josh, what is it?
- [Josh speaking]
807
00:36:23,481 --> 00:36:26,016
Yeah, it's starting
to look like that.
808
00:36:26,484 --> 00:36:28,051
[Josh speaking]
809
00:36:29,620 --> 00:36:31,521
[Josh] We continue
to scour the bottom,
810
00:36:31,556 --> 00:36:36,026
until we've covered the entire
shoreline along Little Bohemia lodge.
811
00:36:37,728 --> 00:36:39,996
[Josh and Stewart speaking]
812
00:36:45,469 --> 00:36:47,537
[Josh] With no other leads
down here,
813
00:36:47,572 --> 00:36:49,372
we return topside to warmup.
814
00:36:50,908 --> 00:36:55,979
After drying off, Stewart and I
reunite with lodge owner Dan Johns.
815
00:36:56,013 --> 00:36:58,648
According to
a historic eyewitness account,
816
00:36:58,683 --> 00:37:02,519
Dillinger buried cash
somewhere on this property.
817
00:37:02,553 --> 00:37:05,755
So we grab metal detectors
and head off into the woods.
818
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:08,692
- Okay, so how much land you got here?
- About 13 acres.
819
00:37:08,726 --> 00:37:10,660
- Thirteen acres. Okay.
- That's a lot. Yeah.
820
00:37:10,695 --> 00:37:12,896
Where do we start?
Around the lodge?
821
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:16,700
Well, we know from one of the gang
member's girlfriends Pat Cherrington,
822
00:37:16,734 --> 00:37:18,802
that supposedly
the suitcase of money
823
00:37:18,836 --> 00:37:21,771
was buried near
two pines and an oak.
824
00:37:21,806 --> 00:37:23,940
- Well, I see a lot of pines.
- It's a lot of pines.
825
00:37:23,975 --> 00:37:26,643
We don't have as many oaks
though and that does kinda ring a bell.
826
00:37:26,677 --> 00:37:29,512
There was a jumbo oak back
there with a couple of pines next to it.
827
00:37:29,547 --> 00:37:30,747
You wanna show us
where those oaks are?
828
00:37:30,781 --> 00:37:33,283
- Absolutely. Let's go.
- Let's go take a look.
829
00:37:33,317 --> 00:37:36,052
Dan takes us to a grove that
fits Cherrington's description
830
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,323
of where Dillinger buried
the suitcase filled with cash.
831
00:37:40,358 --> 00:37:41,858
So right in this area,
832
00:37:41,892 --> 00:37:43,827
there was a really large oak that fell
over in a storm and we cleaned it up.
833
00:37:43,861 --> 00:37:46,796
And if you notice,
there's two old pine trees
834
00:37:46,831 --> 00:37:49,266
that kinda have
grown together there.
835
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:50,800
I think it's just
kind of divide and conquer.
836
00:37:50,835 --> 00:37:53,036
- Let's just check out this whole area.
- Yeah.
837
00:37:54,538 --> 00:37:57,207
[Josh] The metal detectors
start beeping right away.
838
00:37:57,241 --> 00:37:58,808
[metal detector beeping]
839
00:37:59,577 --> 00:38:01,378
[Stewart] Right on. Right here.
840
00:38:02,613 --> 00:38:04,714
It's just an old piece
of a beer can.
841
00:38:04,782 --> 00:38:06,983
- Dillinger was a big beer drinker.
- Yeah.
842
00:38:09,053 --> 00:38:11,554
- What do you think of that?
- [Dan] Looks like a bearing of some sort.
843
00:38:11,589 --> 00:38:13,923
[Josh] It's tough searching.
844
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:15,725
The property is littered
with scraps of metal
845
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,395
from cabins torn down long ago.
846
00:38:18,429 --> 00:38:21,298
We got a genuine historic nail.
847
00:38:22,366 --> 00:38:24,000
[metal detector beeping]
848
00:38:25,169 --> 00:38:25,902
Ah, nuts!
849
00:38:26,771 --> 00:38:28,705
Working our way
along the footpath,
850
00:38:28,739 --> 00:38:30,774
we continue to scour the woods
851
00:38:30,808 --> 00:38:33,009
and eventually
we emerge near the dock
852
00:38:33,044 --> 00:38:36,946
where we get the most
promising sounding hit of the day.
853
00:38:37,481 --> 00:38:39,115
[metal detector beeps]
854
00:38:43,554 --> 00:38:45,055
Got a good hit here.
855
00:38:47,391 --> 00:38:48,558
[metal detector beeps]
856
00:38:49,527 --> 00:38:51,728
- It's still there.
- [Stewart] What'd you got?
857
00:38:51,762 --> 00:38:54,964
[Josh] This is good. Whatever
this is, it's like this is down ways.
858
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:57,434
[Stewart] Wow, it's lighting
up the whole thing there.
859
00:38:57,468 --> 00:38:59,769
[Josh] I like the depth,
I like the sound of the hit,
860
00:38:59,804 --> 00:39:02,405
I mean, I got
a good feeling about this.
861
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,607
- Ooh!
- Oh!
862
00:39:04,642 --> 00:39:08,445
Got something metal,
hollow and deep.
863
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:14,851
So yeah, I mean, we're two feet
down, you know, whatever this is,
864
00:39:14,885 --> 00:39:16,720
it's been here a long time.
865
00:39:17,288 --> 00:39:18,955
Let's see what's in here.
866
00:39:20,991 --> 00:39:23,793
-[device beeping] -Oh,
you can see it. Look at that!
867
00:39:23,828 --> 00:39:25,595
- Oh, it's there.
- [Stewart] Oh, wow.
868
00:39:25,629 --> 00:39:28,531
- Josh, it actually sounds hollo.
- It does sound hollow.
869
00:39:28,566 --> 00:39:29,666
What is that?
870
00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:31,801
[Josh] Careful not
to damage the artifact,
871
00:39:31,836 --> 00:39:34,704
we glove up and slowly
excavate around it.
872
00:39:34,739 --> 00:39:36,539
[Dan] It's some
kind of container.
873
00:39:36,574 --> 00:39:38,708
Well, we're gonna dig
a bigger hole here.
874
00:39:38,743 --> 00:39:40,510
See if you can get access to it,
875
00:39:40,544 --> 00:39:42,078
on that side.
876
00:39:45,516 --> 00:39:46,916
Oh, removing that.
877
00:39:46,951 --> 00:39:49,352
- [Dan] I got it, I got it.
- [Stewart] He's got it, he's got it.
878
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:50,553
- Oh, look at this.
- Here we go.
879
00:39:50,588 --> 00:39:52,288
- Here we go.
- [grunts]
880
00:39:52,323 --> 00:39:54,324
-[both grunting] -[Josh]
There we go. One, two, three!
881
00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:56,292
Yes, that's it!
882
00:40:02,633 --> 00:40:06,236
[Josh] At Norther Wisconsin's
notorious gangster hideaway,
883
00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:07,537
Little Bohemia Lodge,
884
00:40:07,571 --> 00:40:09,739
even the menu
is Dillinger themed.
885
00:40:09,774 --> 00:40:11,674
How are the Baby Face Ribs?
886
00:40:11,709 --> 00:40:13,576
- Dangerous.
- Dangerous. I'll have those.
887
00:40:13,611 --> 00:40:16,813
- Sure. All right.
- Throw in the Public Enemy Pork Shank.
888
00:40:16,847 --> 00:40:17,680
Gotta try that.
889
00:40:17,715 --> 00:40:19,416
What did Dillinger eat
when he was here?
890
00:40:19,450 --> 00:40:20,550
Steak.
891
00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:23,186
- All right. I'll take the Bank Robber Rib-Eye.
- Got it.
892
00:40:25,456 --> 00:40:27,190
Mm. Oh.
893
00:40:28,592 --> 00:40:29,793
I might have ordered too much.
894
00:40:29,827 --> 00:40:31,561
Hey, what did Dillinger
have for dessert?
895
00:40:31,595 --> 00:40:33,129
Anything he wanted.
896
00:40:34,198 --> 00:40:35,031
Makes sense.
897
00:40:42,573 --> 00:40:44,107
[Josh] According
to an eyewitness,
898
00:40:44,141 --> 00:40:46,609
Bank Robber John Dillinger
buried money
899
00:40:46,644 --> 00:40:49,612
somewhere on this remote
property in Wisconsin.
900
00:40:49,647 --> 00:40:51,614
Now, we've got an inside track
901
00:40:51,649 --> 00:40:54,184
on a mysterious
buried container.
902
00:40:55,186 --> 00:40:57,153
Oh, removing it.
903
00:40:57,188 --> 00:40:58,521
- [Dan] I got it, I got it.
- [Stewart] He's got it, he's got it.
904
00:40:58,556 --> 00:40:59,456
Oh, look at this.
905
00:40:59,490 --> 00:41:01,357
- Here we go.
- One, two, three. [grunts]
906
00:41:01,392 --> 00:41:02,425
Yes, that's it!
907
00:41:06,564 --> 00:41:08,031
What is that?
908
00:41:08,699 --> 00:41:10,200
What are we looking at?
909
00:41:13,437 --> 00:41:15,004
It's solid on the bottom.
910
00:41:15,573 --> 00:41:17,140
What on earth?
911
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:18,741
Container?
912
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:20,944
Oh, there's something in here.
913
00:41:21,312 --> 00:41:22,212
Loo at this.
914
00:41:24,415 --> 00:41:26,282
Yeah, there is. Sure is.
915
00:41:26,317 --> 00:41:28,117
Looks like a glove of some kind.
916
00:41:28,919 --> 00:41:30,386
[Josh] Look at this,
it's leather.
917
00:41:31,388 --> 00:41:33,189
[Stewart] It's
definitely a glove.
918
00:41:33,224 --> 00:41:35,925
[Josh] It's not a suitcase
filled with Dillinger's loot.
919
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,962
But we may have unearthed
and even deeper mystery.
920
00:41:38,996 --> 00:41:42,298
[Stewart] You know what's
weird? There's almost char in here.
921
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:43,633
[Josh] A pair of singed gloves,
922
00:41:43,667 --> 00:41:46,603
and traces of ash
in and around the canister,
923
00:41:46,637 --> 00:41:49,806
suggest that something
was being burnt.
924
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,007
I'm mystified by the container.
925
00:41:51,041 --> 00:41:53,843
Why would somebody put a
pair of gloves in a container,
926
00:41:53,878 --> 00:41:54,944
set it on fire and bury it.
927
00:41:54,979 --> 00:41:57,380
- Not many good reasons to do that.
- Right. Exactly.
928
00:41:57,414 --> 00:41:58,548
So what were
they getting rid of?
929
00:41:58,582 --> 00:42:00,583
- [Stewart] Good question.
- Yeah.
930
00:42:00,618 --> 00:42:02,685
[Stewart] I'm thinking,
is this some kind of evidence,
931
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:04,053
crime, someone
didn't want found?
932
00:42:04,088 --> 00:42:07,924
Maybe the answer is, they were
burning something in the container.
933
00:42:07,958 --> 00:42:09,859
- When they were done, took the gloves off...
- Right.
934
00:42:09,894 --> 00:42:11,661
- ...threw them in, buried the whole tying.
- Right.
935
00:42:11,695 --> 00:42:12,996
What were they burning?
936
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:13,963
That's the mystery.
937
00:42:13,998 --> 00:42:15,732
Whatever it is,
it's been eaten up by time.
938
00:42:15,766 --> 00:42:17,600
There's no--
There's not even any traces
939
00:42:17,635 --> 00:42:19,369
of what it was, that I can see.
940
00:42:19,403 --> 00:42:21,604
The charred gloves,
traces of ash,
941
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:25,341
and the burnt canister
could date to the Dillinger era.
942
00:42:25,376 --> 00:42:26,910
But without more evidence,
943
00:42:26,944 --> 00:42:29,512
It's impossible to make
a definitive link.
944
00:42:29,547 --> 00:42:31,514
We only know
one thing, for sure.
945
00:42:31,549 --> 00:42:34,784
Someone did not
want this to be found.
946
00:42:34,818 --> 00:42:36,553
I don't know, man,
that is one for the books.
947
00:42:36,587 --> 00:42:39,122
I-- I--
I've never seen this before.
948
00:42:39,156 --> 00:42:40,757
You know, there's every chance
this is from the period.
949
00:42:40,791 --> 00:42:43,259
- Is this part of the Dillinger story?
- I don't know.
950
00:42:43,294 --> 00:42:44,861
I don't know. It could be.
951
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:47,397
[Josh] The find is compelling.
952
00:42:47,431 --> 00:42:49,532
And Dan will continue
to comb the grounds
953
00:42:49,567 --> 00:42:51,601
for Dillinger's fabled stash.
954
00:42:51,635 --> 00:42:54,938
As for me,
I have one more stop to make.
955
00:42:54,972 --> 00:42:57,640
I've received a call
from Sheriff Martinez,
956
00:42:57,675 --> 00:43:00,710
asking me to come back
to Crown point, Indiana.
957
00:43:00,744 --> 00:43:03,713
It turns out that one part
of the Dillinger mystery
958
00:43:03,747 --> 00:43:05,848
is on the verge of being solved.
959
00:43:05,883 --> 00:43:09,619
And I've been invited
to help close the book.
960
00:43:09,653 --> 00:43:12,021
I show up
at an unmarked building
961
00:43:12,056 --> 00:43:14,591
where I'm supposed to meet
someone named Mark.
962
00:43:14,625 --> 00:43:17,193
Yeah, I'm as confused
as you are.
963
00:43:22,232 --> 00:43:23,199
[laughs]
964
00:43:24,401 --> 00:43:25,368
Wow!
965
00:43:28,038 --> 00:43:30,573
Oh, my word. Hello! I'm Josh.
966
00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:31,908
Hi, Josh. Mark.
Nice to meet you.
967
00:43:31,942 --> 00:43:34,277
Nice to meet you too.
What an entrance!
968
00:43:34,311 --> 00:43:35,578
This is unbelievable.
969
00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:36,746
What am I looking at here?
970
00:43:36,780 --> 00:43:38,781
You're look at
Lillian Holley's police car.
971
00:43:38,816 --> 00:43:40,650
- This is the car he escaped in.
- Yes.
972
00:43:40,684 --> 00:43:42,285
This is the car
he drove away in.
973
00:43:42,319 --> 00:43:43,620
Get outta here.
974
00:43:43,654 --> 00:43:45,555
When Dillinger fled Crown Point,
975
00:43:45,589 --> 00:43:47,657
he hijacked the Sheriff's car.
976
00:43:47,691 --> 00:43:49,792
Now, 87 years later,
977
00:43:49,827 --> 00:43:53,830
Dillinger's getaway vehicle
has finally been recovered.
978
00:43:53,864 --> 00:43:58,868
Mark found this notorious piece of
outlaw history in a barn, in Maine.
979
00:43:58,902 --> 00:44:01,471
And was able
to match the serial number,
980
00:44:01,505 --> 00:44:03,406
to Dillinger's Wanted card.
981
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,475
So, this says, John Dillinger...
982
00:44:05,509 --> 00:44:09,412
Uh, feloniously and knowingly
transporting Ford V8 four-door sedan.
983
00:44:09,446 --> 00:44:10,413
And then we have
a serial number.
984
00:44:10,447 --> 00:44:11,581
So where's the serial number
on here?
985
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:13,783
- [Mark] It's right here, on the chassis.
- [Josh] Okay.
986
00:44:13,817 --> 00:44:19,088
Dillinger stole Ford V8
four-door sedan. [reading]
987
00:44:20,724 --> 00:44:22,725
- That's unbelievable.
- [chuckles]
988
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,129
-This is it! This is the escape car!
-This is the real car.
989
00:44:26,163 --> 00:44:29,198
Tell you what, Josh. Why don't
you jump in, and we can take a look?
990
00:44:29,233 --> 00:44:32,802
[Josh] Mark has meticulously
restored Sheriff Holley's car
991
00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:35,471
to the state it was in,
when Dillinger took it.
992
00:44:35,506 --> 00:44:36,706
- I call shotgun.
- [chuckling]
993
00:44:36,740 --> 00:44:39,409
Sorry about that.
It's a required joke.
994
00:44:39,443 --> 00:44:41,944
This is one of the guns
that was in the arsenal
995
00:44:41,979 --> 00:44:43,680
in the Crown Point jail
when Dillinger escaped.
996
00:44:43,714 --> 00:44:45,648
- This is also original.
- That's original.
997
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:47,517
This is the original
staring heel, or gauges.
998
00:44:47,551 --> 00:44:48,818
This is the real deal.
999
00:44:48,852 --> 00:44:51,854
This is exactly what Dillinger
would have seen sitting in here.
1000
00:44:51,889 --> 00:44:55,658
Now, Marcus, returning the
car to its original owners...
1001
00:44:55,693 --> 00:45:00,196
The late County Sherriff's
department, in the old Crown Point jail.
1002
00:45:00,230 --> 00:45:01,364
Whoa!
1003
00:45:02,399 --> 00:45:03,633
Hell, yeah, she moves!
1004
00:45:03,667 --> 00:45:06,269
So, Josh,
you feel like going to jail?
1005
00:45:06,303 --> 00:45:08,504
In this? Yeah, absolutely.
1006
00:45:08,539 --> 00:45:09,605
I don't know how
to tell you this, Mark
1007
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,508
But I think I hear
the Police. [laughs]
1008
00:45:12,543 --> 00:45:16,212
And the sheriff's department
is rolling out the red carpet.
1009
00:45:16,246 --> 00:45:17,346
[sirens wailing]
1010
00:45:22,986 --> 00:45:24,821
A trio of motorcycle
accidents take the lead,
1011
00:45:24,855 --> 00:45:28,558
and dozens of police vehicles,
from across Lake County,
1012
00:45:28,592 --> 00:45:30,426
bring up the motorcade.
1013
00:45:30,461 --> 00:45:31,594
This is crazy!
1014
00:45:31,628 --> 00:45:33,629
Are you kidding me with this?
1015
00:45:33,664 --> 00:45:36,399
- How about the siren on this thing. Does it work?
- Oh, yeah.
1016
00:45:36,433 --> 00:45:38,935
Light it off, Mark, Yeah, we go!
1017
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,805
Dillinger
was Public Enemy Number One.
1018
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,675
And the return of this
once-stolen police car
1019
00:45:45,709 --> 00:45:48,611
is a reminder.
That even 87 years later,
1020
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,613
justice can still be heard.
1021
00:45:50,647 --> 00:45:51,748
Job was in the air.
1022
00:45:52,916 --> 00:45:56,486
I gotta tell you, Mark, it
takes a lot to shut me up.
1023
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,121
But I'm speechless.
1024
00:46:03,594 --> 00:46:05,027
This car is going home.
1025
00:46:06,697 --> 00:46:08,731
Helicopters buzzed
a parade route.
1026
00:46:08,766 --> 00:46:11,311
And crowds lined the streets.
1027
00:46:11,335 --> 00:46:13,369
The end of an epic journey.
1028
00:46:16,673 --> 00:46:20,710
Oh, my word! Look at this!
1029
00:46:20,744 --> 00:46:24,247
Hundreds of onlookers have
gathered outside the old jailhouse.
1030
00:46:24,281 --> 00:46:28,951
Eager to see a piece of history
restored to its rightful place.
1031
00:46:30,254 --> 00:46:32,188
- Hello!
- [cheering]
1032
00:46:34,591 --> 00:46:36,225
How about this?
1033
00:46:37,494 --> 00:46:39,128
Amazing.
1034
00:46:41,198 --> 00:46:44,367
I'm struck by the fact that I'm
back where our story began?
1035
00:46:44,401 --> 00:46:45,701
It's elegant.
1036
00:46:45,736 --> 00:46:47,637
There is something about
the mysteries of John Dillinger.
1037
00:46:47,671 --> 00:46:49,539
That beckon for closure 04:
1038
00:46:49,573 --> 00:46:51,507
For a convenient conclusion.
1039
00:46:51,542 --> 00:46:55,178
As if the world were black
and white, Good or bad,
1040
00:46:57,548 --> 00:46:59,649
Butt reality is never so clean.
1041
00:46:59,683 --> 00:47:03,319
Dillinger had been
glorified as a dashing outlaw.
1042
00:47:03,353 --> 00:47:05,588
But he is undeniably a villain.
1043
00:47:05,622 --> 00:47:08,124
His firepower was lethal.
1044
00:47:09,426 --> 00:47:10,626
His gang killed.
1045
00:47:10,661 --> 00:47:13,529
And his deeds
were fraught with terror.
1046
00:47:13,564 --> 00:47:15,932
His Robin Hood
moniker feels unearned.
1047
00:47:15,966 --> 00:47:19,836
The money he stole was
only used to enrich himself.
1048
00:47:19,870 --> 00:47:23,272
But beneath the Hollywood
varnish of his crime spree,
1049
00:47:23,307 --> 00:47:24,607
lies tragedy.
1050
00:47:24,641 --> 00:47:27,643
Dillinger was a poor,
depression era kid,
1051
00:47:27,678 --> 00:47:30,646
who ended up in prison
for much of his young life.
1052
00:47:30,681 --> 00:47:34,750
Until the only road ahead, was
the one that led away from the law.
1053
00:47:35,886 --> 00:47:39,622
As for Dillinger's lost loot
and the mysterious map,
1054
00:47:39,656 --> 00:47:42,091
that tale is just beginning.
1055
00:47:42,125 --> 00:47:45,595
And there may be more treasures
hiding at the Dillinger park.
1056
00:47:45,629 --> 00:47:49,398
After all, no great story
ever really ends.
1057
00:47:49,433 --> 00:47:51,601
And the legend known
as John Dillinger
1058
00:47:51,635 --> 00:47:55,104
may once again
reach out from the past.
