Bank Robber Kills His Family in Stakeout
Timothy Blackburn escapes from prison for his family’s sake, and by the end of the stakeout, kills them with his own hands.
Timothy Blackburn is famous for pulling off the largest bank heist in Nevada and the brutal fallout afterward. The escape, aided by family members, shockingly ended with their death. This case has concerned many, especially Henry Shlumpf, the chief investigator involved in the nail-biting three-hour-long negotiation with Timothy.
Largest Bank Robbery In Nevada
December 21, 1998, is marked in history for the largest ever bank robbery executed in Nevada. Agent Henry Shlumpf from the FBI received the distress signal at around midnight and rushed onto Charleston Boulevard.
That night interlaced with dread, he discovered that two armed men had kidnapped three janitors as part of their grand plan. While Henry tried to manage the guard shot down by the robbers, they sped away, bagging an amount that would rock Nevada.
