This Day in History: Notorious American bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed by police and killed in Bienville Parish, Louisiana on this day in 1934. Now when I think of Bonnie & Clyde I think of the 2019 movie "The Highwaymen" starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson which had several scenes that still stick with me, including this one (above). Of course, they were not the only couples that led a life of crime. There were Canada's Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Suzan and James Carson, also known as “San Francisco Witch Killers,” Australia's David and Catherine Birnie, Charles Starkweather & Caril Ann Fugate, Carol M. Bundy and Doug Clark (The Sunset Strip Killers), Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez (Lonely Hearts Killers), German couple Daniel and Manuela Ruda, Ian Brady & Myra Hindley (The Moors Murders) and lesbian couple Gwendolyn Graham and Catherine May Wood who killed to enhance their sex life.
