Josh Gates: "We Found John Dillinger's Fortune!" Expedition Unknown

Many years have gone by, but experts and treasure hunters are still trying to find Dillinger's hidden wealth, which he is thought to have stashed away before he was eliminated. What treasures did Dillinger manage to hide? Josh Gates is all set to put together the old clues, hoping to uncover the legendary hidden stash. But really, how often do these searches turn up anything big, like more than a couple of old coins or a rusty gun?

The story goes back to the fascinating yet somewhat glorified life of Dillinger himself. Born during the tough times of the Great Depression, Dillinger started his criminal career in the early 1930s. He quickly became famous for his daring bank robberies and his charm, which won over the public, though certainly not the law enforcement. Known as "Public Enemy Number One," Dillinger led a gang that included notorious criminals like 'Baby Face' Nelson and Homer Van Meter, carrying out bank heists across the Midwest with a flair that made it seem like something out of a movie.
