I'm looking for more information regarding that case of the bank robbery on today. The one where the woman took the picture of the robbers as she drove by. I know there was an update but I didn't have a pen and paper handy.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't remember the names but in 1997 they pulled over a guy who was speeding and found 1.8 million dollars in his trunk. They then arrested him and found out that he was one of those guys...they arrested his partner a few months later....nothing futher do i remember if they were convicted or not.

Court TV did a special on these guys. Unfortunately, I only caught the very end. It was very upsetting b/c this case always really freaked me out...especially the part where the reporter surreptitiously snapped their picture...and i would like to find out more about them. Anyways, keep an eye out for Court TV specials on bank robbers. There are several.

The robbers' names were William Kirkpatrick and Raymond Bowman.

I remember that case from when it aired in 1992, and I saw the re-airing and update last year. They didn't show it the second time, but at the end of the segment in the original airing, they flashed two sketches of the robbers from another robbery (not the Henderson one). I remember that the one on the right scared the ^$£( out of me and I couldn't sleep that night.

A couple of articles about the two men.

I don't suppose someone has any pictures of Kirkpatrick and Bowman. I have the original story recorded but missed the Lifetime update. I'm curious to see what these guys look like unmasked.

In the Lifetime update they only showed Kirkpatrick's photo. He kinda sorta looked like the sketch but then again the photo (I assume) was taken after he was arrested i.e. 7 years after the robbery so he had obviously aged.
