Bonnie & Clyde shootout location near Kansas City Airport

[@debraroberts7291]

My Grandfather Met Bonnie and Clyde when they ducked into his so called Garage. He said They were really nice to him. The story goes on , Briefly as He Told this He acted like it was no Bid thing….. As a kid I must’ve watched that Movie over and over again. Thanks for the Scoop!!!!

[@rkm361978]

My grandfather also met then in Bienville Parish La days before their death. He also said they were very nice. He’s aunt owned a gas station where he would pump gas for customers and B&C came through. He said they were very generous tippers.

Both your grandfathers were lucky then, not so much for their victims.

As a former Kansan, I've flown out of this airport many times, but never knew the history of Bonnie & Clyde so close by!

[@laurieleon9201]

I've heard this story many times but your take on it is awesome! 🧡 My mom and dad were friends with an elderly couple in Dallas and Dink worked with Clyde at a clothes hanger factory. I live not to far from where Bonnie and Clyde died. There they have the Bonnie and Clyde trade days in Bienville Parish Louisiana.

[@joelhurley2678]

Jeff thanks for a great historical story on Bonnie and Clyde. My late grandmother lived in southeast Kansas and remembers seeing them being chased by the local police in her County of Crawford when she was a little girl in their early thirties. Also little side note that when the car was brought back it was brought back to Dearborn I had read an article when I was living in Dearborn Michigan at the time where I grew up that gentleman started the car with no problem and he drove a backup to Dearborn Michigan and they have pictures of it. Also just a little side note, your one County over from where I'm at in Leavenworth County in Kansas. If you guys ever in the area stopover in Leavenworth Kansas and let me know and we can visit I'll show you some of the sights were Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill walked around. Also I'll show you where the Waddell and Evans building is still standing which started the Pony Express. Have a great day Jeff and thank you so much for sharing and hope you have a safe trip home.

[@georgemccoy219]

Great episode Jeff! I appreciate your hard work in putting these together. The hours spent in researching the subject of each episode shows. You cover a lot of great information. I sure have to agree that there is an element of anti-police lawlessness today combined with complacent district attorneys and politicians who seem to encourage this kind of behavior. History can repeat itself!!

[@davidclark9150]

Thanks Jeff for another great episode. It was interesting to learn what happened to the rest of the gang. Some of them lived long enough to see the movie. I wonder what they thought of it . You have great looking grandchildren. Being a grandpa is one of the real joys in life.

[@danhutson3460]

Atlanta, Georgia, has a reputation for tearing down buildings no matter the historical significance & changing street names, every time a new mayor is elected. To hell with historical names & replacing with people who are still living. Sad! People cheered Bonnie & Clyde because they robbed banks & most people had lost their homes & land due to the Depression, with banks foreclosing on their property & the dust bowl days didn't help matters either. I saw the movie at the Starlight Drive-In in Atlanta, Ga & it was located on Hwy 42, also known as Moreland Ave. I'm not sure if it is still there, as it has been several years since I was in the area & the location is in a bad section. Thanks for video & retelling history that most don't know anything about!

[@ednagreen62]

As a child, I saw "Bonnie and Clyde" with my parents. They, being both children of "the Great Depression", impressed upon my brother and I not to romanticize them. My dad was brought up in a little town not far from Arcadia, LA where they met their end. Thank you for today's episode.

[@kevinmalone3210]

Your parents gave you good advice about this criminal couple.

[@SSandz-u5g]

My folks took me to see this film. My father noticed I was clapping every time police officers were shot. The next day he took me to the local library, and suggested a friendly competition. I was to find a book favoring Bonnie and Clyde (found such a book written by the mother of Bonnie and one of Clyde's sisters). My dad found a book that did not portray them in a good way. The book did have some photos which also included autopsy photos. We read both books. I learned that Bonnie and Clyde were not angels, and died very violently. Dad, who was a kid during the Great Depression said the were thugs. I tend to agree.

[@footballlvnlady]

Awesome episode! I can’t imagine how much pain Bonnie was in with those severe burns. That was a really nice auto court! The ones here in Wisconsin that are left look very primitive. I love Evelyn asking if they were drunk. 😊 My grandkids ask why didn’t they get a job. How they didn’t get picked up by the police quicker. The world has changed so much since then! Wonderful that you are visiting your son, DIL and grandkids! Enjoy!

Another great history lesson. Thanks, Jeff. You talked about how some people supported the outlaws' and what they were doing. Have you ever heard of "Danny Lee Eckard, 28, a convicted kidnaper and rapist, was an ex-Marine skilled at desert survival?" He escaped from the Arizona State Prison in Florence, Arizona (where I was born and raised) in 1969. He was nicknamed "The Dessert Fox." I remember some of that manhunt, as I was 10 years old. My dad was a prison guard back then, and we actually lived just across the two lane highway from the prison. Anyway, I'm sure this would make a great history video for your channel. You could probably do interviews of some surviving lawmen from the manhunt. Well, thanks again or a great video.

A couple of years ago, my wife and I spent the night in Bonnie and Clyde’s hideout/apartment in Joplin Mo. Everything inside was original except the toilet.

Jeff, I was born in 1961. Like you, I was enthralled with history and in particular broadcast and radio history. I am 61 almost 62 and saw your granddaughter. I have no children and I thought all your videos will hopefully be on some kind of platform that Evelyn will be able to watch and show her kids and grandkids. Then I thought, you need to do a video about you, your mom and dad, and their moms and dads..eveything you know about your family and stories of your childhood. Then, messages to her kids and their kids, for them to see and hear long after "we" are gone. Just a thought I had while enjoying you new video..

[@garytaylor9051]

I knew Sherrif Coffee’s son Clarence. He was a 19 at the time and was wounded in the gun fight. He said that he had the dubious honor of being among the few who survived being shot by Bonnie & Clyde and lived to tell the tale. He had the scars to prove it.

[@jbenziggy]

Wow that is indeed fascinating! I understand that Sheriff Coffey only had minor or graze wounds but enjoyed playing it up.

[@garytaylor9051]

According to Clarence (Sheriff Coffee’s son) both he and his father were wounded and shared the same hospital room after receiving their wounds. Clarence was 19 years of age at the time and acting as a deputy. Holt was standing in the front yard near the steps and Clarence was across from the rooms occupied by the Barrow gang. He (Clarence) had taken a position between the two gas pumps. When the FBI agents approached the front door the gang started shooting through the walls indiscriminately. Clarence turned to make a run to get inside the gas station part of the diner. This is how he described what he experienced. “ as I turned to take cover, I found myself lying half in and half out of the doorway. As I rolled to my side, I could see my boot lying in the drive way. (He had take two hits from a Thompson machine gun” to the upper torso). At first I didn’t understand what has happened to me. Next thing I knew I woke up in an ambulance”! During his hospitalization, he said that he realized law enforcement wasn’t his calling, and entered medical school after his recovery. Now, my association with Clarence was through my mom who would occasionally work at “Dr. Clarence Coffee’s clinic”. Doc Coffee’ clinic was located at 12th & Tracey, KC,MO. He had become a close family friend over the years. When I was around 13 or so, he had bypass surgery to correct his heart problem and my mom and I went up to visit him. He was sitting on the side of the bed, his gown had fell from his left shoulder exposing his scars. When I asked how he got burned so badly, he then told me his story. Doc Coffee was an amazing man. Whiteout him tutoring me in chemistry, I would have never made it through that class!

Sorry I’m late to the party! Thank you Jeff, that was great! Especially good to see your delightful grandchildren! It’s always nice to see the original locations where history happened. I just watched a report on the murderous duo on the biography channel. Your video added a lot that wasn’t told there. I never saw the movie. I first became aware of the duo via a 1968 hit song while I was in nursing school in Germany, “The ballad of Bonnie and Clyde” by Georgie Fame, an English musician. I quite liked the song. Not sure it ever made it to the US, many songs that are popular in Europe are virtually unknown here, or rarely played. It’s amazing how popular these two remain to this day. I was amazed to see just how much they have been romanticized. Thousands of people visited them at the funeral home. And now people pay beaucoup bucks for memorabilia! Getting back to history, in the bio channel docu they showed some photos of the abhorrent conditions the Barrow family lived in during those depression era days. They also showed the house and location you visited. Now the landscape looks so different. A lot of the time my take away from your video reports is… thank God I wasn’t born during those days and had to live through that. Something to be grateful for, and never take for granted! Thanks again, Jeff! Not sure I would have been able to make a video and sound coherent after that long flight and jet lag! Appreciate all the comments from people who are living in the area and/ or had some contact with the gang!
