In this episode I get to talk to Brian Stannard, author of the book 'Alcatraz Ghost Story', based on the life of Roy Gardner. Roy was an American criminal active during the 1920s. He stole a total of more than $350,000 in cash and securities and several times escaped from custody. He is said to have been the most hunted man in Pacific Coast history, having had a $5,000 reward for his head three times in less than a year. The newspapers in the West referred to him as the "Smiling Bandit", the "Mail Train Bandit", and the "King of the Escape Artists." He was one of the first inmates transfered to Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.For more info on Roy's crazy life. you can pick up Brian's book here..... Alcatraz Ghost Story: Roy Gardner's Amazing Train Robberies, Escapes, and Lifelong LoveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mysterious-circumstances--5479817/support.
