Episode 14: The Heist
Mystery Category: Odd Crimes / The Uncanny
The Story: A Montgomery Township standoff with a bank robber took an unexpected turn when the suspect refused to move. We look at the heist involving a very convincing, very stationary mannequin.
In Montgomery Township in New Jersey, locals expect to enjoy a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving--not an apparent bank robbery attempt. Their local police force was faced with a stone-cold suspect unwilling to respond to any demands.
