Fugitive Bank Robber Ted Conrad's Identity Revealed in Deathbed Confession

Thomas Randele, known to his family as a car salesman, was actually Ted Conrad, a mastermind behind one of America's most notorious unsolved bank heists.

• Thomas Randele, a car salesman, confessed on his deathbed that he was actually Ted Conrad, a fugitive bank robber who had been on the run for decades.
• Conrad had stolen $215,000 (equivalent to $1.8 million today) from the Society National Bank in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1969, where he worked as a teller.
• He fled to Washington, D.C., the same night and later assumed a new identity in Boston, living a normal life despite his picture being in the headlines.
• Conrad's daughter, Ashley Randele, discovered the truth only days before her father's death from lung cancer in May 2021.
• Despite the large sum stolen, Conrad ended up in financial trouble, with his daughter loaning him money before he filed for bankruptcy in 2014.
