This is the real story behind The Santa Claus Bank Robbery — one
of the strangest and deadliest crimes in U.S. history.

On December 23, 1927, Marshall Ratliff walked into the First
National Bank of Cisco dressed as Santa and opened fire. Within
minutes, the bank was surrounded by armed civilians. What
followed was chaos: a running gun battle through the streets, a
hostage dragged into a getaway car, and a statewide chase ending
in a shocking act of vigilante justice.

If you think you’ve heard every Christmas crime story… you
haven’t heard this one.
