Summary
True Crime Tuesday presents The Treehouse: How To Rob A Bank/The True Story of Hollywood, The Bank Robber with FBI Agent, Shawn Johnson, and Ex-Convict/Author. Steven Myers!
In the gray hues of Seattle, two men, Steven and Scott, are locked in a perilous journey beyond the law's reach. Entangled in a world of bank heists and fleeting loyalties, they chase redemption in a society relentless in pursuit. Amid adrenaline-fueled escapades and moral dilemmas, their kinship deepens, culminating in an unexpected bond. The tale traces their odyssey against the unforgiving backdrop of the law, culminating in the tragic end of Hollywood, a man who lived and died on his own terms, leaving a legacy entwined with the lives he touched.
On Today's TCT, FBI Agent, Shawn Johnson and Bank Robbing Accomplice/Author, Steven Myers join the program to tell the story from two different sides of the Hollywood Bank Robber, Scott Scurlock! We talk to both men about why the crime differed from so many other bank robberies... why Steven feels the crimes were "non-violent", despite the use of guns and threats, What made Scott Spurlock different from other criminals, and impressive feats he accomplished that even astonished law enforcement, and whether Hollywood could have had another life on the right side of the law!
