Blaze of Glory: The Story of Cowboy Bob

In the early 90s, north Texas was hit with a rash of bank robberies, all featuring a quirky-looking, mustached bandit the feds called Cowboy Bob. Bob was prolific, and his MO was smoother than silk—no muss, no fuss, in and out in 60 seconds with a satchel full of cash. The FBI figured they were dealing with a pro, a man with years of heists under his belt and nerves of chilled steel. They couldn’t have been more wrong…and in more ways than one. Join us for the tale of one of America’s strangest serial bank robbers, whose criminal career wasn’t so much about the money as it was about the thrill. <br /><br />Sources:<br />Texas Monthly, Skip Hollandsworth: <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/true-crime/the-last-ride-of-cowboy-bob/" rel="noopener">https://www.texasmonthly.com/true-crime/the-last-ride-of-cowboy-bob/</a><br /><a href="https://www.discoveryplus.com/video/forbidden/cowgirl-bob" rel="noopener">https://www.discoveryplus.com/video/forbidden/cowgirl-bob</a><br /><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna10367955" rel="noopener">https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna10367955</a><br /><a href="https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2005/may/06/bank-robber-shot-dead-in-texas/" rel="noopener">https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2005/may/06/bank-robber-shot-dead-in-texas/</a><br /><br />Follow us, campers!<br />Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): <a href="https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire" rel="noopener">https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire</a><br />Facebook: True Crime Campfire<br />Instagram: <a href="https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079" rel="noopener">https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079</a><br />Twitter: @TCCampfire <a href="https://twitter.com/TCCampfire" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/TCCampfire</a><br />Email: <a href="mailto:truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.com">truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.com</a><br />MERCH! <a href="https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com/" rel="noopener">https://true-crime-ca
