🎄 "He wore a red suit. A white beard. And a bulletproof vest." On Christmas Eve, a man dressed as Santa Claus robbed a bank in Casper, Wyoming. Witnesses laughed until he pulled a gun.
In this true crime episode, we unravel the bizarre 2025 heist. The fake Santa demanded cash from tellers, stuffed bags with money, and fled into a waiting sleigh—a getaway car decorated with reindeer antlers. Police tracked him via a dropped candy cane. Inside his workshop (apartment), they found $47,000 and a Santa suit. The robber claimed he needed the money for "his elves' Christmas bonuses."
