About this listen
In the early 1960s, Albert Nussbaum and Bobby Wilcoxson weren’t just robbing banks—they were redefining what it meant to be outlaws. Nussbaum, the calculating “brains” of the operation, masterminded a string of daring heists with an engineer’s precision, while Wilcoxson brought the muscle. But their paths would diverge in ways no one expected.
After prison, Nussbaum reinvented himself, swapping getaways for typewriters and becoming a respected crime writer, even forging a unique friendship with novelist Dan Marlowe. Wilcoxson, however, faced a much darker fate: a murder conviction and death behind bars. Alongside their stories, we’ll unravel the overlooked tale of Peter Curry, their accomplice who battled the courts over the details of his trial.
This is a story of brains and bullets, redemption and ruin—and how one man traded notoriety for a second act in ink.
This is Fugitive Files. Let’s get into it.
