"Pretty Boy" Floyd

Legends say the acres occupied by the old Missouri State Penitentiary represent the most painful land in the state. A new walkthrough shows what remains inside including the infamous gas chamber that ended many guilty lives.

You can say what you want about Missouri, but it's impossible to deny the history that has happened across the state. That includes numerous infamous shootout locations where Bonnie & Clyde and gangster Pretty Boy Floyd were involved in deadly battles.

America was a different place 90 years ago. Culturally it was at least on the surface a more innocent time. That changed on a June morning in 1933 when a mass murder by Pretty Boy Floyd left bullet-riddled vehicles in front of the Kansas City railroad depot.

It's been almost 90 years since an infamous gangster plan resulted in what has become known as the Kansas City Massacre. It was a plan that involved "Pretty Boy" Floyd and cost many police officers their lives.
