Description

In this episode of Scream and Sugar, we’re heading back to the Wild West to uncover the infamous 1899 robbery of the Union Pacific Overland Flyer No. 1. Masterminded by the legendary Butch Cassidy and his gang, the Wild Bunch, this daring train heist near Wilcox, Wyoming, left railroad cars blown apart and lawmen scrambling across the frontier. With explosives, horses, and a disappearing act that would baffle authorities, this robbery became one of the most iconic crimes of the American West.

Join us as we explore how it happened, who was involved, and what came next in this dusty tale of outlaws and audacity.  And remember, stay spooky, y'all!
