Crimes in time

Presents four profiles from the annals of crime: prohibition-era hood George "Machine Gun" Kelly and his pursuit by J. Edgar Hoover; Vincenzo Peruggia, the man who became a hero in his native Florence for the heist of the Mona Lisa from the Louvres; the murder of Grace Brown by her paramour Chester Gillette while boating on Big Moose Lake in the Adirondack Mountains; and Butch Cassidy, whose robberies of banks and railroads made him an American folk hero.
