KANSAS CITY MASSACRE: Was PRETTY BOY FLOYD There?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2022
- On June 17, 1933, four police officers were killed in the parking lot of the Kansas City Union Station, along with the prisoner they were escorting to Leavenworth prison. The FBI immediately lay blame at the feet of Charles “Pretty Boy Floyd,” though he immediately denied involvement. To this day he is still associated with the massacre and the plaque memorializing the officers still lists him as an assailant. But was he really? This video follows the last walk of Frank Nash and his guards from the train to the parking lot, then recounts what happened in the 30 seconds when bullets were flying. I also discuss the work of Robert Unger who combed through every FBI document he could get his hands on. After you’ve watched let me know what you think in the comments. Did he do it?

I find your reasoned scepticism on the FBI version of events very persuasive. Great presentation.
I knew Charles Floyd Jr. He was a lifelong friend of my uncle and frequent visitor. Mr Floyd shared with us his stories and artifacts from his dad. Pretty Boy Floyd was very liked by locals and from what my grandfather is said was a nice guy. My uncle remembered the wife, Charles' mom, but did see the dad. House was off limits when the dad was home. Charles Jr was a good man, he is gone but his kids and grandkids are in SF bay area last I checked.
A new Floyd video will be uploaded this week, and in the near future I will be filming the home Floyd Jr. lived with his father in Fort Smith, Arkansas for about six months. Stay tuned!
I met Charles Floyd Jr. in 1985 , He stayed at the hotel I was working at. We talked about his dad. He was very opened about him.
Frank Nash is buried in the Linwood Cemetery mausoleum in my home town of Paragould, Arkansas. Thanks for a great episode
Thank you!!! I didn’t know that. My Aunt and Uncle live there. I’m in Paragould every Thanksgiving.
@@MMorbid awesome lives there all my life. Been watching a few of your video and really have enjoyed them. The Kansas City Massacre caught my eye because of knowing about Frank Nash.
Great episode MM thanks for doing it. Excellent research and I learned a lot. I agree with your conclusion. Please keep up your work.
You make the best history videos! People looking at your videos finally understand what actually happened.
Brilliant, you’re best yet. Keep them coming! 👍
Thank you!
Great episode. I enjoy your history stories. Thanks so much.
Love your work.... great info !!!!
Always very interesting, thanks for sharing
I was about to ask you if you had anything on Pretty Boy Floyd. I remember seeing documentaries on him in the early years of the 2000s that would last all day. Thank you.
More to come on Floyd!
I enjoy your stories. Being from mid Mo, I like your content . Keep at it.
Thank you so much!
I’m glad you enjoy it. Thank you!
Great episodes,Madame. Especially with the original locations. I've heard of the theory of the accidental discharge of the Officers shotgun and it sounds plausible.
Especially with the glass laying on the hood. There’s no other way to explain that. Forensics doesn’t lie. People do though, and who wants to admit they accidentally killed the prisoner! Thanks for watching.
I am a fan, I've read the book you talked about. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
I love history I left you a like keep making cool videos thank you for doing your research
Thank you!
Good stuff!
Thank you!
Great job of lining up pictures
Thank you! I love locations where that is possible to do, and sadly it’s pretty rare. The other video I was also able to line up pictures was the video about the Hyatt Regency collapse. That hotel was walking distance from here and I think I filmed them the same day, which when you think about it that’s kind of weird. Thank you for watching!
Mob hit
How did the bad guys know the police were going to exit the train early then drive the prisoner in a car to Leavenworth.
What really intrigues me about Pretty Boy Floyd was the period between the Kansas City massacre and his death in Ohio. Nobody seems to know what he was doing in Buffalo New York and how he afforded it. His robberies were small, under $3,500 and in the vein of Bonnie and Clyde. Miniscule amounts next to Dillinger. And he usually split those with one or two other people. And he gave a lot away. There is no way he could have afforded 13 months in Buffalo. Was he working as an enforcer for the Buffalo crime family? Were the Baird sisters working? He most certainly could not have afforded the protection racket.
How bout a story on St Valentine day massacre? That would be great. Just a suggestion. Great video.
Sorry to report that yards away & 91 some years later was the 2024 Super Bowl Parade shooting. It took the life of one Ms Lopez a DJ at KKFI-FM radio. RIP.
I know, I was horrified by that event and even more so that I had filmed there about a massacre. That the same thing would happen twice in the same place is unbelievable to me.
@@MMorbid Yes I know. OBTW U are young. Prepare for a time of crazy kaos.
Some films you should see are...
"Gone With The Wind."
"Empire Of The Sun."
"The Killing Fields".
Very good well done
Thank you!
Very interesting. Botched. Is there a plaque there telling what happened?
I honestly don’t remember. If I didn’t show footage of one maybe not but surely there is one. It would tell the FBI version I’m sure, that Pretty Boy was there etc.
I live close to where lots of the greats came for vacation. I also have pics of Dillinger rebury..ive traveled all over and got pics of everyone from Ed Vein to H H Holmes murder castle site.. I enjoy your channel
Thank you!
Pretty Boy was my 1st cousin 3x removed!
If you stand in front of the pillar on right at 18:04 and look about 7 feet up, you can see 3 bullet impacts. Not holes but impact marks. Those are what people come to see. 😂
There can be different ways the glass fell on the hood. Shots could have gone through the back and out the front. Also all the glass wouldn't fly into the car from a shot from the front. Majority of glass will fall straight down
Breakout??? sounds more like a hit to me.
They meant to keep Nash quiet!
Cool name.
I have always been infatuated by Floyd even as a child for some reason
Hollywood not interested
I don't know if anyone has said this but it's just as plausible that the mob had Nash "rubbed out" as he knew a lot of things. Not necessarily a rescue.
I have a copy of Unger’s book Do you want it
Another fan sent me a copy so I have it now but thank you so much for the offer! I really appreciate it.
They couldn't have found a nicer place for a massacre!!!
That is so true, the station is stunning and the outside is basically frozen in time. It was almost eerie how easy it was to combine the historic photos with my footage. Thanks for watching!
👶 BABY 👼 FACE. NELSO N NOW THERE WAS. A COLD BLOODED KILLER !!
Baby Face Pretty Boy. 2 gay dudes
@@gregwatson8219 Floyd got his nickname from the madam of a cathouse in KC. Chock wasn't gay. He just stood out amidst a bunch of guys whose faces looked they had lost a fight with a grinding wheel.
I'm a descendent of Adam Richetti my name is Angelo J Richetti some information are not correct
Such as? Comment doesn’t mean anything if you don’t specify.
Michael Wallis traced the time frame and came to the conclusion Floyd was not there
I really want to read his book. Fun fact, he is the voice of the sheriff in the movie Cars.
Hoover was so crooked 😮but he had so much dirt on everyone they couldn't get rid 9f him😮why he had Files on everyone, he had his secrets too was gay back in those days you'd be arrested
Because he was bff with j Edgar Hoover. He wanted to be in with the FBI. He was like a school girl for the FBI.
Do better
Good stuff!
I liked this episode, it was a great location.
