The Mysterious Cowboy Bank Robber
In the early 1990s, a calm and polite bank robber known as Cowboy Bob drew attention as he struck multiple suburban banks in Texas. Dressed in a cowboy hat, boots, and a leather jacket, he exuded a unique charm that intrigued many. Despite his unconventional attire, Cowboy Bob managed to elude capture for some time. His meticulous planning, calm demeanor, and avoidance of leaving behind evidence frustrated the FBI. Eventually, a breakthrough came when his getaway vehicle, registered to a man named Peep Talis, was found near his mother's residence. It was then revealed that Cowboy Bob was, in fact, Peggy Jo Talis, a 48-year-old woman who had been robbing banks to support her sick mother.
