My grandfather was mistaken for Dillinger in the 30s when they were looking for him. He was driving in Chicago and a bunch of cops pulled him over with guns drawn thinking it was him. Crazy!
Oh dang! I know he had to be scared at that time!
The Chicago police pulled my dad's car over when they saw me riding in the passenger seat, they thought I was "Baby Face Nelson" and finally my dad had to show them my birth certificate showing that I was only 22 months old. I guess they didn't recognize my mom who was in the back seat, her name was Ma Barker.
Not that crazy, they still do that. But the FBI has gone soft like ice cream on taking out criminals.
That’s a pretty cool story.
The police stop me because they said i look like Michael Jackson
I am proud to say I was one of the architects who worked on the renovation of the theater in the early 2000s. I was in that place doing measurements and seeing the old history. Amazing place.
In case you did not get to go inside, the very seat that Dillinger sat in the night he was killed has a hard seat back, rather than the cushioned ones...it is displayed inside the Theatre
I have serious doubts about the seat he was sitting in. How was the seat known and who verified it. I bet few people can pick the exact seat they sat in after leaving the theatre.
My uncle was a young man working in Chicago at the time, his rooms were not far from the Biograph. Word of the shooting going down spread like wildfire, and he rushed, along with many others, to the scene. Dillinger's body was gone, but the puddle of blood remained. A few women were openly dipping their handkerchiefs in the pool, I guess anxious for a gruesome souvenir, and that always stuck out in his memories.
If my great grandmother was one of them who kept that blood handkerchief I would of made sure I was her favorite and cherished and framed that thing.
Ooooookkkkkk, another fake story
@@hulkhoganstights6596 No. That's the story he told for years as the truth. Was he lying? I don't know, he was in Chicago at that time, I obviously wasn't. The story is real, I have no way of proving it is factual.
This is true. My uncle's family lived on the North side, a family member was in the area at the time. People were dipping handkerchiefs, pieces of paper in blood as a Souvenir. The family member didn't have a handkerchief on him at a time.. He went back home to get another family member. Came back and the police was stopping people from getting anymore "Souvenirs"
@@Jessica-ml6td Thanks for some corroboration! Seems like my uncle may have been telling the truth for all those years.
So much history in Chicago, both good and bad. Great video Michael and Jessica, I love how you present true crime. Continued safe travels.😀🖤
Never grim when the grimms are about happy halloween 🎃
So great to see you guys in town covering and sharing some of our local stories. Love your work! Keep the stories coming.
Excellent video clip of tour of Biograph Theatre and Dillinger death site. Great to see exact spot of the 1934 incident.
Awesome videos!! Chicago's my hometown so I know all these stories glad to see a vid on them. Thanks
Great video. Really like the use of actual footage, news reports, and mapping out the site. I live here in Chicago and have always found something interesting about that era and the Dillingers and Capones of the era. Nice job!
My wife and I actually visited the Biograph last year during a Chicago crime tour. It was interesting to find out that the sign of the bio graph is not the original one from when Dillinger was killed, but it was the sign that the film studio put up when filming the Public enemies movie with Johnny Depp. They filmed the movie at the same theater and they left the sign up once the film had wrapped. It felt surreal being there.
When he did the morph of the old sign to the new sign you could see the size difference.
I just looked at the closing scene of "Public Enemies" and they clearly filmed Dillinger's death scene on this location, so you also did a filming locations video at the same time!
The way she always listens to him and never takes her eyes off of him when he asks for her attention 🥺💖💖💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope they last forever !
I'm so happy I found your channel a few months back. It's very entertaining watching you visit historical spots, as well as talk about notorious figures in our history.
They have a great thing going here, the community is great. Welcome
Great video, as a long time researcher of the 1933-34 Crime Wave, this is one of many places I want to visit in person. Today that area looks so ordinary, any passerby wouldn’t even have the slightest idea that the most notorious bank robber that America ever knew, took his last breaths on that sidewalk.
Cool - thanks for following this one up, have long been interested in the depression era gangsters and Dillinger was one of the most notorious.
Several years ago, one of the history-based cable channels did a series on many of the organized crime bosses and other (in)famous gangster crimes - their history is actually very interesting. I love visiting places like this - maybe it's my imagination, but they seem to have a certain "air" about them. Thanks for another great story, Michael and Jessica!! 🥰💚
In my hometown, Michigan City, Indiana, there was always a rumor that Dillinger and Capone had homes in town.
Michigan City was a place where Chicago celebrities could go where you could disappear. Now it seems to attract the gangs from Chicago and Gary, so sad
My husband goes fishing in Michigan City for steelhead and salmon.
They probably did. Here in central Iowa there are several places known to be safe homes of Capone and others from back then. My grandfather was a moonshiner back then and knew Bonnie and Clyde too.
Another Chicago legend is that the alley is haunted, people claim that it's cold/feels cold even on a hot summer's day.
This is an interesting one. I enjoy that you take us with you when you travel through time! TY
I like that…travel through time. Really happy you like the adventures.
Fascinating details!! Cool to see the Biograph theatre is still there!! Hope no chain type store replaces it!! Awesome video as always Grimmlife!!🙏🏽👍🎃🍿
Been there before thank you all for the video. Also been to Dillingers grave. You all were only about 60 miles north of me. Would like to meet you all one day and talk. Love the channel. Safe travels and God bless you all.
Thanks for another outstanding video featuring Midwest crime history. You always do such a wonderful job-your personal enthusiasm and knowledge of history really make your stories come alive in a special way. Ever thought of covering the Chicago story of Bobby Franks (victim of Leopold and Loeb)? Happy Halloween!
coupla spoiled rich kids, University of Chicago students
Bad combination of reading detective novels and Friedrich Nietzsche!
I love this video. Well pretty much anything related to Dillinger really sparks my interest. It would be sweet if you ever have the chance to go to his grave and do a video, if he is actually the one buried there.
💯
Great video, as always! Fun fact, Dillinger had the same celebrity status then as he does now. After the shooting, many passersby dipped handkerchiefs and scraps of newspaper in his blood.
Actually surprised you don't take a side trip to the jail in Crown Point, Indiana. It's now a museum.
No time. Maybe next time.
Happy to see the theater is still there and still in use. Too many of these older buildings are torn down.
His childhood home is located in my hometown of Mooresville Indiana. It still stands today.
Awesome video! I never knew anything about any of this, even though I knew about him just in name only. Thank you guys for teaching me more about history and true crime than school. Happy Halloween!!!! 👻
Hello!!!!! These videos are addicting 😭
Happy to feed the addiction. Enjoy.
Chicago has a lot of amazing history! Thank you for your documentation.
I remember as a kid my mother use to read those true crime magazines and she was really fascinated with John Dillinger. She passed away in 2009. Thanks for the upload brings back good memories.
Yet another groovy-awesome Grimm life adventure to go with the daily recommended dose of coffee😁☕ Keep up the fantastic work, happy holidays!!🎄🎃✌
Love the stories about John Dillinger. 🥰 This was a really fun one with seeing y'all there to tell the final hour of his life. 🎃
Great video Very interesting Thanks for taking the time to do it
Thank you for another incredible video on another notorious event in history. To still see where these events occurred is truely incredible and relatively untouched 🙏
This video was very interesting. I remember when I was young I heard about John Dillinger and Al Capone and all the others. But I never knew where John Dillinger died. Thanks for doing this video
Been a Dillinger fan since I was a kid.
Been to a few spots like the Biograph. The St Valentine’s Day massacre is “just around the corner”, too. Thanks for covering this spot. Subscription added today.
2122 Clark street btw.
Funny I remembered the address for decades now. I read a lot as a kid. 😊
Absolutely love your channel! Cannot believe it took me so long to come across it. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Very cool glad I got the chance to watch this episode and see the real spot where it all went down thank you Grimm life collective 👻👻
Cool Can’t wait to watch this Tonight 👏🏻 Grimm-life Collective are my favorite on RUclips 👍🏻❤️
The image in the mural was BEFORE his plastic surgery from his last booking photo. The only image they have of him after the facelift is his autopsy photo and death mask.
You are killing it with your content! Great quality product. A-1! ❤
Just like the memories I have from one of your latest videos, the Married with Children video, I loved that show and was excited every week for the new one to come out. I feel the same excitement waiting for your next video and believe you are creating the same type of classic for me that I will remember and look back on one day. Thank you as always for all you guys do.
I live in Crown Point, they restored the jail he was in, partly done by Hollywood for the Dillenger movie with Johnny Depp . You can actually go inside his old cell, it was an awesome experience!
Please do more of Chicago history! Absolutely love it! Thank you for covering John Dillinger! ❤
I visited a friend in Chicago in 1995. Using my Sony Handycam we recreated this last act. I ran down the sidewalk chasing my friend where she then "died" in that alley. We burst out laughing because the sidewalk was crowded and everyone thought we were nuts. Pre cell phone era fun. Thanks for bringing back the memories!
Those were definitely the day's! Me and my brother and some friends would do stuff like that and they even tried to make their own skateboarding videos back when it was really popular.
Soooo excited y'all did this one!! I said in a previous video love all the sleuthing y'all have been doing. 💀 Grimm Life Detecitive💀
So awesome that you were there, I've been to the spot and various other places. Thank you for doing this video!!
Interesting story about Dillinger.... Amazing people of the day put these criminals on a pedestal-- what a time!... great mini-Episode, GriMMs!.... Thanks again, for taking us along, again..... :^)"""""""
Back in those days, there was alot of hatred for the government and banks which is why Dillinger was popular with the people.
I just so happened to be on that street in June of 2008. They were filming Public Enemies at the time. It was so cool how they had that entire street setup. They made all the buildings look old and period correct. They put facades on them and had modern stores like a Subway restaurant with a fake windowfront with old items in it. They had the Subway signs up when the place was open for business during the day and then they'd pull em down when they were filming at night. The street was lined with rubber mats that looked like cobblestones. I remember driving by the street at night and they had a whole bunch of old cars driving on it.
Hey guys. I'm a medic in Indianapolis. I have a few places I think you should check out. Really good stuff. Hope you're still in the Midwest.
8:08 I love when people do this, you got it pretty perfect, so awesome! Please tell me you took in a show there.
This is funny John was my Grandmother’s cousin. Still to this day their is a lot of conflicting stories about if he was actually killed.. Alot of cool family stories and alot of strange things that happened after his supposed death that only he could’ve done… but still cool video 👍
And he never actually killed anyone.. a lot of Baby Face Nelson’s murders were blamed on Johnny..
Seems 50/50 that John Dillinger got away, a very high chance.
Elaborate? I've not heard the survival theories.
@@HorySmokes There was maybe a ringer, an East Chicago pimp named Jimmy who was Sage's man. Look up Jay Robert Nash.
Also, there were TWO anonymous letters to the Indy Star in 1959 and I think 1961 with enclosed photos of a man who outlined what happened. The photos could definitely be John Dillinger decades later.
@@HorySmokes yeah my family has their doubts about what really happened that day.. and I’m sure some of my family knew what really happened but their long gone by now.. so I believe it’s exactly how it should be a mystery 👍
My grandma was deep in that world ..but in Wisconsin. Anyway she didn’t like Dillinger she said Capone was a businessman Dillinger was a thief.
We were at The Biograph Theater in 1984 for the 50th anniversary of John Dillinger's death. They had actors dressed up & recreated his last moments. Dillinger wasn't a gangster he was a bank robber.
Murderer also.
Thank you - another awesome video. Always intelligent and informative.
Hi guys! Love your video, love your channel, love, love your stories + narration, love baby ghoul! I binged watched almost every single one of your videos when I first stumbled upon your channel! 🎉❤ Keep up the good work😋
Welcome to Chicago. I always have been in awe for the death mask they made of him. Short but sweet video.
Great video! I read that there is a mistery about his grave, that it’s not sure his body is there down..
and a far member of his family had try to resumed the body but it was impossible (I think burocratics problems) he never had the permission ..
Another great history video, I really enjoyed it. Hope you guys stay warm, safe travels and Happy Halloween 🎃👻💕😊
if you ever go back to chicago, another famous local case is the murder of bobby franks by two teenagers, leopold and loeb. i’ve been reading a lot about them the past couple of months. it might be something you’re interested in.

Great Video, very educational, love you guys
Welcome to Chicago, guys! Been enjoying the vids...
Good stuff...Thanks for sharing!!!!
Loved this video !! I've read a lot about Dillinger so this was a real treat . If you guys are still in Chicago you may want to visit Barrington ( Just outside Chicago ) It's where George " Baby Face " Nelson had his last showdown with the FBI . There's a plaque at the site of the gun battle .
I just knew this was coming! No way you were passing up this opportunity!
Great video, thanks again 👍
Interesting and well done telling the John Dillinger story. I’d always heard the woman was wearing red, but maybe not. I’m hoping to visit that spot, maybe as early as in the coming spring.
Keep up the good work, and continued success.
Great video! And as always Happy Halloween 🎃
Great video. The Hair is Rockin' Bro

Every Sunday night my mother went to the movies at Biograph theater. For some reason on July 22, 1934 she went to the matinee. She missed the Dillinger killing by a few hours. But maybe that was a good thing since some bystanders were shot.
