The Perfect Heist: A California bank manager panics and calls in the FBI after the door to his vault refuses to open. Upon inspection, the vault has been blasted into from the ceiling, and over $2 million in valuables is gone. When agents find no clues as to the robbers or their whereabouts in California, they send details of the crime to other FBI field offices. It is not long before agents in Ohio are investigating a bank vault robbery that is strikingly similar to the California heist. Agents determine that several men are responsible for the vault break-ins, and are able to locate one of the men’s friends, and attempt to use him as bait to reel in the crooks. The man leads investigators to the criminal’s vehicle, where they find equipment and weapons used in the vault break-ins. The man also leads them to the former home of one of the criminals, where agents uncover fingerprints, and can link the man to the bank robberies. Agents would eventually track down and arrest all four of the elusive bank robbers, and even uncover large sums of money hidden by the crooks.

Killer Instinct: A Washington DC professor is shot and killed as she tries to get into her car. The killer leaves the body in the parking lot and drives away in her vehicle.

Days later, the same vehicle is involved in a shootout with police, but eventually would elude them. Eventually, the vehicle is found, the interior covered with red dye from the stolen bank packs. A year later, a man is shot and his car is stolen. The next day, the car is used in another bank robbery. Investigators would conclude that the man follows the same pattern; he steals a vehicle and uses it for his crimes. Eventually, authorities would catch up the murderous thief and chase him into a dead-end, where the man would be apprehended. The crook is now serving five life terms, plus an additional 100 years for weapons violations.
