Depression Era Gangsters | John Dillinger | 8 - Vanishing Outlaw


Listen Later

Episode 8/12 of the Story of John Dillinger, the Depression Era Gangster.

Eddie Green's wife, Beth Green, had arranged an apartment

for John Dillinger and his girlfriend Evelyn "Billie" Frechette at 95 South Lexington Avenue, in St. Paul, Minnesota as Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hellman.

John "Red" Hamilton, his sweetheart Pat Cherrington, and her sister, Opal Long moved in a little later.

The Lincoln Court Apartments Manager became suspicious of the Hellman's odd behavior and alerted local police.

Federal Agents of the Bureau of Investigation -- thinking

they might be members of the Barker-Karpis Gang -- headed over but the manager didn't recognize them from the mug shots.

Still, Inspector William Rorer instructed his Federal Agents

to pay a visit to the couple in Apartment #303.
