The Highwaymen (2019) on Netflix with Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson is about tracking down and killing Bonnie and Clyde.
The 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde is worth watching. It won two Oscars. I first saw it at a theater while visiting Natchitoches.

What makes you say "almost certainly"? I know no one saw them do it, outside of a farmer who probably wasn't very close, and they were dead when the other officer got there.

Do you think the actual killer was the other member of the gang with them at that time? There were two guns used in the murder, though. Or, do you think it was someone entirely unrelated to B&C?
I think the killer was the guy who put the finger on Clyde. He was tall, and a tall man was seen in the vicinity. Clyde was very short.

They were in a bad wreck about a year before they were killed. Bonnie suffered major burns to a leg from either battery acid or a fire during the wreck. She was in bad shape for a long time, and still limping at the time of her death.
The last year of their life was also very desperate, and they were running out of places to hide. They couldn’t stay in one place long, so they spent much of their last year on the road living in their car while constantly on the move.

The irony stinks.

Probably well known on this board but a decent part of that movie was filmed in a cane field off Hwy 22 in sorrento as you approach burnside

I don’t think anyone disputes it was the B&C gang. As you stated, Clyde even admitted to family members and in letters they were present.
Clyde would often kidnap law enforcement officers, and release them once the gang had made their escape and were a safe distance away from the scene of the crime.
The Grapevine murders took place on Easter Sunday. The theory is the two motorcycle troopers thought they were assisting a family that had car trouble while having an Easter picnic in the countryside. They were found dead with their pistols still holstered, so they definitely didn’t suspect trouble.
Clyde claimed he had ordered the gang to “take them”, meaning kidnap them. Instead, Henry Methvin opened fire.
Methvin was from Louisiana, and his father is the one that helped set up the ambush in Bienville Parish so his son could avoid the death penalty in Texas for the murders.
Henry Methvin was still convicted of a murder in Oklahoma, but paroled a only few years later. He was arrested a few more times until he died in Sulphur when a train ran over him.

So of all the things to do with the story of Bonnie & Clyde, the first thing you think of is what her pussy smelled like.
Thr OT never disappoints.

With a name like that, it seems he missed his criminal calling.

The property I live on in SETX was once owned by a relative of Clyde’s. One of his relatives lives down at the end of our road and he says they used our property to hideout several times. Not sure if the story is entirely true but I do know that our neighbor is related to Clyde. CSB

Yup. Four of the six lawmen who participated in the ambush were from Texas and did not have jurisdiction.
I believe the locals may have deputized them.

You've never been to the annual Bonnie and Clyde festival in Gibsland baw?
ETA: in 8th grade I had an old teacher and she brought some pictures "she found when cleaning out her late mom's house" and they were real photos of the aftermath of the shooting that someone back in her family had taken at the time and kept. pretty interesting, I think the teacher passed away by now.
