10. Bonnie and Clyde — Notorious and Visible
Bonnie and Clyde’s conspicuous stay at Red Crown Tourist Court leads to their identification.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, infamous during the Great Depression, often committed robberies in public, leaving calling cards and appearing in newspapers before their demise. In July 1933, they stayed at the Red Crown Tourist Court in Platte City, Missouri, drawing attention by registering as a party of three despite five people present, paying with coins, and taping newspapers over cabin windows. Their conspicuous behavior led to their identification and eventual ambush by law enforcement in May 1934. (vocal.media)
