Come sono finiti Bonnie e Clyde?

Chi ha ucciso Bonnie?
Bonnie Winterbottom (6×15) Bonnie muore poco dopo Frank, per le ferite riportate mentre cercava di frapporsi fra Frank e la polizia, dopo che Frank aveva sparato alla Birkhead sulle scale del tribunale.

Who was Pancho Hamer?
Hamer, whom Gault called “Pancho,” was a casual and careful sipper while Maney “enjoyed his whiskey” and both were known to “cuss up a storm,” much to the amusement of young Frank Jr., who came to think of Maney Gault as an uncle.
Were Frank Hamer and Maney Gault friends?
Long before and for years after Texas rangers Frank Hamer and Maney Gault took down famous outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, they were close friends. As viewers have seen in Netflix’s The Highwaymen, they shared an interest in shooting, playing cards, and taking down bad guys together.
Who is Maney Gault?
Frank Hamer had known Maney Gault since the mid-1920s, when they were neighbors in Austin. The diminutive, steely-eyed Gault had been a stock and dairy farmer until crashing milk prices forced him to find work in a sawmill. Regardless, he was a man after Hamer’s own heart—laconic, loyal, modest, conservative, sardonic and perfectly unbreakable.
What happened to Frank and Maney?
By April 14, 1934, Frank and Maney were back together—this time as Highway Patrol officers—sharing the cramped space of Hamer’s Ford and hunting down the notorious killers. Like their quarry, they slept in their car, drove 500 or more miles per day, and mostly lived on crackers and sardines.
