Crime doesn’t pay – unless you’re Ted Conrad. After pulling off the biggest cash heist in Cleveland’s history, the 20-year-old bank teller turned infamous thief spent 52 years in the clear living under a new identity on the east coast. But in March 2021, he finally revealed his real name, and fugitive status, in a shocking deathbed confession to his wife and daughter. In this episode, 19 News investigative reporter Jen Picciano takes listeners on a journey through Conrad's film-inspired bank heist and the five decades he kept his crimes a secret while living as "Thomas Randele." And for the first time ever, she brings Conrad's daughter to Ohio where they walk in her fugitive father's footsteps - from the halls of his high school to the bank vault he stole from in 1969.
