In the early morning hours of August 8th 1963, 16 men stopped and robbed the Royal Mail Train from Glasgow to London. The men drove away with roughly 2.3 million Emglish Pounds (worth close to 30 million today). We get into all of that, but first Krysta has some facts in honor of International Woman's Day! Krysta gives us somewhere between six and seven facts and then off we go. First we look at the robbers themselves, then we look at their plan and in some ways, just how lucky they were. We also discuss the failures of the men to properly clean the farm where they laid low and how they failed to torch it. In the end a ketchup bottle and a Monopoly board spell doom for most of the robbers involved...but most of the money is never recovered. Join us for this very special historical true crime edition of the Family Plot Podcast!
