Brief Description: Wilbur Underhill—the "Tri-State
Terror"—is the Boogeyman of Depression-era outlaws in more ways than one. For
nearly a decade in the turbulent period of the 1920s and 30s, he was one of the most
infamous and feared criminals in the Southwest. Convicted of one of his murders in
Oklahoma he was sentenced to life and escaped, killing a cop and receiving another life
term in Kansas, and then escaped again, leading ten others in a mass breakout. In the last
months of his life, he rose to national notoriety as a prolific bank robber and suspect in
the infamous Kansas City Massacre and became the first criminal ever shot down by agents
of that fledgling agency which would soon become the FBI.
