Episode notes

Clay admits to robbing three banks and getting away with about $11,000. He says he knew that just because he hadn't been caught didn't mean he never would be. After spending all day with Clay, I found it pretty hard to believe that he had robbed only three banks. It seems like if you were doing this for a year, one could assume that maybe there are a lot more than three.I'm going to guess like eight total.

When we're kids, we have ideas of what we want to be when we grow up -- movie star, doctor, astronaut. But what if we dream of being like Butch Cassidy, Jesse James, or John Dillinger? And what happens when you're not a kid anymore but you're still obsessed with becoming an outlaw? For Clay Tumey, this dream led him to commit a series of robberies in 2006.
