TL;DR

Thomas Randele, a car salesman and golf pro in Massachusetts, revealed on his deathbed that he was actually Theodore Conrad, a fugitive who had robbed an Ohio bank of $215,000 over 50 years ago. His daughter, Ashley Randele, discovered his secret after Googling his name and finding numerous articles about the unsolved case. Conrad had lived a seemingly normal life under a false identity, even donating to police charities and watching crime shows. Ashley Randele has since started a podcast to explore her father's past and reconcile the bank robber with the loving father she knew. After Conrad's death, investigators received a tip from someone who believed he was Conrad, leading to confirmation of his identity.
