When Bonnie met Clyde - a love story.

 His middle name was 'Chestnut'.
 Betcha didn't know that little nugget of trivia... 

Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow 
pose for a picture in 1932.

Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934) and Clyde Chestnut Barrow (March 24, 1909 – May 23, 1934) were an American criminal couple who traveled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression, known for their bank robberies, although they preferred to rob small stores or rural funeral homes. Their exploits captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is occasionally referred to as the "public enemy era" between 1931 and 1934. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians.
A photo of Parker posing with a cigar came from an undeveloped roll of film that police found at an abandoned hideout, and the snapshot was published nationwide. Parker did smoke cigarettes, although she never smoked cigars.
 According to historian Jeff Guinn, the photos found at the hideout resulted in Parker's glamorization and the creation of myths about the gang.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow met their end in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, in a hail of bullets on May 23, 1934. 
She was 23 years old, he was 25.
... 

They had some serious firepower with them, too...
Weapons and ammunition are recovered from Bonnie and Clyde's 
car after they were killed by the police.

The car is now on exhibit in a casino in Nevada.
