check it:
that is a wanted poster for my great uncle clifford p. redden, aka "the flash bandit." he apparently used to roll with capone and did 2 stints in alcatraz amongst many other notorious prisons. he committed 69 armed robberies (the info i found says as many as 6 in one night), stole 29 cars, led the FBI on a coast to coast manhunt/chase for 18 months. apparently there's a character in escape from alcatraz based on him as well.
the more i hang out around the redden clan, the more i find out that each and every member of our family is freaking insane, lol.
i found someone on ebay that might be able to actually track down a physical copy of his wanted poster :). she said that she might be able to find the two radio broadcasts of gang busters that were about him too.
at least i know where my brother gets it now, heh.
