Bonnie and Clyde's Joplin Hideout

Tour of Bonnie and Clyde's Joplin, Missouri hideout, location of their famous shootout resulting in the death of two lawmen. Visit the apartment's official website at debez.com/jopli....

[@57highland]

I saw this house in 1987 on my way through Joplin. I took a few pictures, and a young man and young lady, seemingly a couple, saw me and smiled and said "Bonnie and Clyde?" and I said Yes, of course. And as we talked, the girl said, kind of to herself, "They killed my uncle". But I didn't ask her which one of the deputies was her uncle. It seemed like they lived right in the neighborhood; they were walking.

[@dr3u9]

Ironic. The dog running up the street at 1:35. Blanche Barrow stated in her book that her dog took off running down the street during the shootout and was never seen again

[@ozzyhead73]

@Dovatsi i think you did a good job narrating and filming, who cares what anybody else says! its a fascinating time period! it was a short window in time when you coulda been a gangster like them, basically from 1930 to 1935! after 1935 police across the country started getting equipped with 2-way police radios so you couldnt get away and flee across the state lines! the police could just radio ahead to let them know that you were heading theyre way! and the V8 ford came out in 32 also! THANX!

@musicaltheatergeek79 This video is not a commercial. A historian friend of mine filmed it when he had the opportunity rent the apartment for the weekend. He was nice enough to allow me to upload to share with visitors to my website blanchedotdebezdotcom and the hideout's website that I built for the owner joplinhideoutdotcom. I have stayed in my cousin Blanche's bedroom (the front bedroom) on 3 occasions when visiting Joplin. The owners have done a fantastic job of preserving and restoring it.

[@billycarswell7365]

What a ride they had ,love them both.

Thanks. Bonnie & Clyde's Joplin Hideout is located at: 3347½ Oak Ridge Drive, Joplin, Missouri

In 1974 I lived across the street from the Bonnie & Clyde apartment in Joplin. There were always people coming by at all hours of the day & night to look at it. In the 1967 Bonnie & Clyde movie, they filmed the get away scene right there from the actual house, I got to meet Gene Hackman, while they were in between shots, it was cool, it took them all day to film a five minute scene.

[@marilynwagers786]

The way I see it Bonnie and Clyde weren't terrible people they were trying to survive in a depression-era although I know it's not good what they did but they found themselves in a world of depression like many people in that time I'm certainly not just find what they did but I don't think they were really bad people or anything like that I find it sad that they were young and that's what happened to him I wish it had been better for them

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

@@marilynwagers786 Well, I’m sure the family of the people they KILLED would disagree with You.

[@DebbieMoss]

Yes, my friend Dave is from Rhode Island. I am from Texas so I really have to tease him about his accent. He did a great job taking the video.

[@Watcherrye]

How much to tour the apartment? Who do I contact?

[@avalondreaming1433]

@Steph's Chihuahuas I thought it was a Boston accent.

[@pamclark4084]

Thanks for showing this .I wandered what it looked like in there

[@DebbieMoss]

@StevelaFrench Steve, I just found out that the apartment did survive. I had been trying to call the owner but couldn't get an answer. He called my friend Tonya Holly who will be filming the new Bonnie & Clyde movie at that location to let her know that the historic apartment did survive the tornado. However, he did loose his personal home. My prayers go out to all who are affected by this devistating disaster. Sincere regards, Debbie Moss

[@swanson6666]

It might work. Miss Duff is closer in age to Bonnie's at the time she was with Clyde and she resembles her more than Faye Dunaway did. Something I read that Bonnie said kind of summed it up for me. She is supposed to have told her mother that she thought that she and Clyde were going places, "but now I realize we're just going".

[@DebbieMoss]

I think you did a great job filming and narrating. -Deb

[@dallaspolo]

I also want to Thank you for posting this.. It always great to see alittle of American History. Even the Bad. Bonnie and Clyde are both buried here in Dallas. I see Flowers offen on Bonnie's grave. Clydes grave located other side of Dallas,, Grass Always High and looks really bad. But always interesting taken relatives from out of town to see there markers. ""GREAT JOB WELL DONE""

thank god the tornado didn't get it. hope it stays that way.

You know, I have passed by that apartment a few times and I had no idea. Thanks for the info.

[@Nomoabuse]

No it was not taken out in the tornado. I just saw this the end of Dec. Still there and standing strong! The May 22, 2011 tornado was not close to it.

[@mattman237]

Apparently they weren't very good tenants. They were loud and up all night and attracting all sorts of attention. The cops thought they were going to confront some bootleggers, not the infamous gang.

[@carriewhite2378]

It's cool you got see one of the places that bonnie and clyde stayed at

[@DebbieMoss]

@000266617 It's not about rooting for anyone or idol worship. It is about the history. History is history whether it be good or bad. If we do not preserve it for future generations, how are we to learn from the past? A plaque has been placed on the apartment as a rememberance for the officers that lost their lives in the line of duty.

[@tomitstube]

added to the 'national register of historical places' in 2009. curious, didn't they have crime scene photos in the police report? what's always fascinated me about bonnie and clyde is how conspicuous they would be at their "hideouts", they always drew attention to themselves by living like rock stars, (prohibition would be repealed 7 months later) they would party around the clock at this apartment making neighbors suspicious enough to call the cops.

[@jklxn]

I havent really read anything about them for a good long while ( i have no idea how i traveled here on the youtube superhiway) but from what i can recall, werent they considered "folk heros" by some , esp in missouri? i think i remember reading that they had the support of alot of the "little" people...

[@tomitstube]

jklxn this is true, b&c were in the beginning considered hero's all over the midwest esp. texas where they grew up, many people had very meager lives, life was very difficult for the majority of americans in the 30's, and they resented the establishment for destroying the economy in '29 and the subsequent depression. this hideout and shoot out would propel them into national fame thanks to the famous pictures they left behind, they would soon find life on the run very very difficult.

[@tomitstube]

Frank Stall like what for instance?

[@MrAquinas1]

They had over 14 confirmed kills of simple working people. No one had to "make up" stories about these depraved thugs.

[@janetcarlson31]

It is available for rental like a bed and breakfast but without the breakfast.

[@swanson6666]

Wish somebody would make a movie about the real Bonnie and Clyde story without glamorizing it. I think they were really desperate most of the time. The Dunaway/Beatty movie didn't mention that Bonnie burned her leg to the bone and had to be carried.

According to family in Joplin, it appears the building was destroyed tonight by the tornado. I'm hoping my family is wrong...

The original kitchen cabinets are in the basement of the house. When you go up the stairs to the apartment the door to enter is straight ahead and you enter the kitchen. When they were there the door was on the right and you entered the living room.

Charlene Elizabeth W I saw this house when passing through Joplin in 1987. I asked someone in a diner where the Bonnie and Clyde hideout was and he gave me directions and said "Look for the house with the red door." A young man and woman walking down the street saw me taking pictures of the house and the guy smiled and said "Bonnie and Clyde, huh?" I still have the pictures. Funny, though, how in the 1967 movie they had the house far back from the street, with a long driveway.
