On December 13, 2000, the Texas 7 bluffed their way out of prison and began a six-week crime spree that would grip the nation. From robbing a Radio Shack to the high-stakes heist at Oshman’s Sporting Goods, we detail the tactical precision and absolute ruthlessness of the gang led by George Rivas. We examine the final chapter of their run in Colorado, where they posed as 'religious travelers' in an RV park, and the dramatic police actions in Woodland Park and Colorado Springs that resulted in one suicide and six death row sentences.
