Bonnie & Clyde Road To Destiny: Updated version of the true story of Bonnie and Clyde as written by Clyde's third Cousin.

WHO KILLED IVY METHVIN & HENRY METHVIN. LONG TIME MYSTERY MAY BE ANSWERED IN THIS NOVEL, YOU DECIDE? Bonnie was born in Rowena, Texas, the second of three children. Her father, Charles Parker, a bricklayer, died when Bonnie was four. Her mother, Emma Krause, moved with the children to her parents' home in Cement City, an industrial suburb of Dallas, where she found work as a seamstress. Parker was one of the best students in her high school, winning top prizes in spelling, writing and public speaking. As an adult, her fondness for writing found expression in poems such as â€œThe Story of Suicide Salâ€ and â€œThe Trail's Endâ€ (known since as â€œThe Story of Bonnie and Clydeâ€œ). In her second year of high school, Parker met Roy Thornton. They dropped out of school and were married on September 25, 1926, six days before Parker's 16th birthday. Their marriage, marked by his frequent absences and brushes with the law, was short-lived, and after January 1929 their paths never crossed again. But they were never divorced, and Parker was wearing Thornton's wedding ring when she died. Thornton was in prison in 1934 when he learned of his wife's death. His reaction was, â€œI'm glad they went out like they did. It's much better than being caught.â€ In 1929, after the breakdown of her marriage and before her first meeting with Clyde Barrow in January 1930, Parker lived with her mother and worked as a waitress in Dallas. One of her regular customers in the cafe was postal worker Ted Hinton, who would join the Dallas Sheriff's Department in 1932 and, as a posse member, would participate in her ambush in 1934. In the diary she kept briefly early in 1929, she wrote of her loneliness, her impatience with life in provincial Dallas, and her love of talking pictures. Clyde Barrow was born in Ellis County, Texas, near Telico, A town just south of Dallas. He was the fifth of seven children of Henry Basil Barrow (1874â€“1957) and Cumie T. Walker (1874â€“1943), a poor farming family that emigrated, piecemeal, to Dallas in the early 1920s as part of a wave of resettlement from the impoverished nearby farms to the urban slum known as West Dallas. The Barrows spent their first months in West Dallas living under their wagon. When father Henry had earned enough money to buy a tent, it was a major step up for the family. Clyde was first arrested in late 1926, after running when police
confronted him over a rental car he had failed to return on time. His second arrest, with brother Marvin
â€œBuckâ€ Barrow, came soon after, this time for possession of stolen goods (turkeys). Despite having legitimate jobs
during the period 1927 through 1929, he also cracked safes, robbed stores, and stole cars. After sequential arrests in 1928 and 1929, he was sent to Eastham Prison Farm in April 1930. While in prison, Barrow beat to
death another inmate who had repeatedly assaulted him sexually. It was Clyde Barrow's first killing. Paroled in February 1932, Barrow emerged from Eastham a hardened and bitter criminal. His sister Marie said â€œSomething awful sure must have happened to him in prison, because he wasn't the same person when he got out.â€ A fellow inmate, Ralph Fults, said he watched him â€œchange from a schoolboy to a rattlesnake.â€ In his post-Eastham career, he focused on smaller jobs, robbing grocery stores and gas stations, at a rate far outpacing the mere ten to fifteen bank robberies attributed to him and the Barrow Gang. Barrow's favored weapon was the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (called a BAR). According to John Neal Phillips, Barrow's goal in life was not to gain fame or fortune from robbing banks, but to seek revenge against the Texas prison system for the abuses he suffered while serving time. There are several versions of the story describing Bonnie's and Clyde's first meeting, but the most credible version indicates that Bonnie Parker met Clyde Barrow in January 1930 at a friend's house.
