This is the best summary I could come up with:


He was barely out of his teens when he’d pulled off one of the largest heists in Ohio history — the equivalent of $1.7 million today — inspired by his favorite movie, “The Thomas Crown Affair.”

Authorities say Conrad was obsessed with “The Thomas Crown Affair,” the 1968 Steve McQueen film about a dashing millionaire businessman who robs a Boston bank for fun.

In her new podcast premiering Monday titled, “Smoke Screen: My Fugitive Dad,” Randele discusses her struggle caring for a dying father while grappling with confusion over unwittingly living a life of lies.

Working on the podcast, she said, has unearthed some answers, allowed her to grieve and helped her begin to reconcile the stealthy bank robber in Ohio with the doting husband and father she knew in Massachusetts.

The obituary listed her father’s date of birth as July 10, 1947 — the same birthday as Conrad’s but two years older, US Marshal Pete Elliott told CNN.

When Elliott knocked on their door and introduced himself as a federal marshal from Ohio, Ashley Randele said the expression on her face probably told investigators everything they needed to know.


The original article contains 1,784 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 89%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
