Colleen Stan Case
Criminal Case #1: Crimes Against Persons (Kidnapping)
Colleen Stan is a woman that was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by Cameron Hooker in Red Bluff, California in 1977. Hookers wife assisted in the kidnapping as well.

The Outcome of the Case
Clyde Champion Barrow and his companion, Bonnie Parker, were shot to death by officers in an ambush near Sailes, Bienville Parish, Louisiana on May 23, 1934.
