#OnThisDay In 1925, Richard “Candy Kid” Whittermore, his wife “Tiger Girl” & his Whittemore Gang hijack an armored truck en route to Federal Reserve from Bank of Buffalo. They killed both the driver and guard, escaping the scene with $93,000 in cash. “Candy Kid” was later identifed as the prime suspect following an arrest for a separate crime.
Had you ever heard of this instance with the Whittemore Gang?
