Episode 229: Walter Lamar and Stephen Chenoweth – Sleepover Bank Robbers, Part 1

FBI Retired Case File Review

Retired agents Walter Lamar and Stephen Chenoweth review the nationwide manhunt of FBI Top Ten Most Wanted fugitives Terry Lee Conner and Joseph William Dougherty. Conner and Dougherty met in prison and in the 1980s began working together in one of the most professional bank robbery operations in U.S. history. They would identify the bank manager and where he lived, hold him hostage the night before, and forcibly escort him to the bank where they would empty the vault. They were known as the "sleepover bank robbers." Their well-planned and methodical robberies netted them more than $1 million and, after their daring escape from custody, a place on the FBI and the U.S. Marshals' top wanted fugitives lists.
