Whatever happened to the $97,000 from the Reno Gang's last heist? Up to a dozen members of the Reno Gang stopped a Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis train at a watering station in southern Indiana. The outlaws had prior intelligence about its main load: express car safes held about $97,000 in government bonds and notes. In the process of the job, one of the crew was killed and two others hurt. The gang made a clean getaway with the loot.
This is one of those find the money stories. And it's one that has attracted treasure hunters for more than 150 years.
It goes back to May 22, 1868. Up to a dozen members of the Reno Gang stopped a Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis train at a watering station in southern Indiana. The outlaws had prior intelligence about its main load: express car safes held about $97,000 in government bonds and notes. In the process of the job, one of the crew was killed and two others hurt. The gang made a clean getaway with the loot.

A Jeffersonville, Madison and Indiana locomotive similar to this one in Columbus, Indiana, was most likely pulling the Adams Express car that Reno Gang robbed in the southern part of the state on May 22,1868.
For the moment.

Josephine “Sadie” Earp: Secrets & Lies Revealed
When Josephine “Sadie” Earp (nee Marcus) decided it was time to tell the story of her life in 1937, she had a big problem. Her early life and that of her family were far from ideal, and the way she dealt with such potential embarrassments was to simply wipe them from her story, or invent a more acceptable fictional story to compensate.
