Episode 12 Ma Barker & Who Was She Really?
Description
She was called the criminal mastermind of the 30's -a woman who raised her sons not to follow the law, but to break it. Ma Barker the matriarch of the infamous Barker-Karpis Gang, has gone down in history as the mother of all mobsters. However was she really the brains behind a deadly string of bank robberies, kidnappings, & murders? How much of her legend is fact, & how much was the FBI myth-making? In this episode we unravel one of the most controversial figures in American criminal folklore. From her humble & quiet beginnings in Missouri to her violent end in a Florida shootout with Federal agents.
Also Sara & I go over our findings visiting the Ma Barker house where the shootout took place. Tapping into the lingering energy & walking on the same creaking floorboards we wait to see if Ma Barker still has something to say. What secrets still echo through the bullet-beaten walls?
