Blue Ridge True Crime

Iron Irene: Motherhood, Murder, And A Cross-Country Crime Spree


Listen Later

Before Bonnie and Clyde captured the nation's attention, another couple was blazing a trail of crime across America: Irene Schroeder and Walter “Glenn” Dague.

She was a young mother, the press dubbed "Iron Irene." He was a seemingly respectable car salesman.

Their story begins with a deadly roadside shootout that left a Pennsylvania State Trooper dead. What followed was a desperate, multi-state crime spree involving kidnappings, daring escapes, and a final, fiery gunfight in the Arizona desert.

This is the unforgettable true story of Irene Schroeder and Glenn Dague: a tale of violence, swift justice, and a legacy of redemption that reached all the way to the moon.
