After dividing the ransom money, the only thing left to do was figure out who was taking care of Urschel. To George's horror, both Catherine and Al agreed there was no way they could let him go alive. The feds were waiting for him at his home, and he'd give them up in a heartbeat. Even still, George did his best to reason with his partners.

Aside from the night they grabbed him, Charles had barely gotten a look at them. They'd kept him blindfolded pretty much the entire time, and if Bernice or the other guy they'd nabbed hadn't been able to ID them yet, Charles didn't stand a much better chance. Fortunately for Charles, George was pretty convincing.

Fortunately for Charles, George was pretty convincing.

He reminded Catherine that the Urschel kidnapping was only supposed to be the beginning. They still had plans to kidnap three more wealthy businessmen. If they killed Charles after they got the ransom money, they could kiss the other jobs goodbye. While George's rationale made complete sense, it seems Al couldn't care less. He was ready to take his money and run.

So he did, hopping on the next train to Denver, Colorado. For all he cared, the Kellys could do whatever they wanted with their captive. Eventually, Catherine softened and agreed to let Charles go. They put a pair of sunglasses on the oilman to hide his blindfold, then loaded him into the back seat of their car.

The Kellys took the longest, most roundabout route possible from Paradise toward Oklahoma. When they were within 20 miles of the city, near a town called Norman, they let Charles out of the car and sped off. With Charles out of the picture, the Kellys were flying high. They drove north through the night until they reached St. Paul, Minnesota.

There, George's contacts helped them launder their score. Meanwhile, the couple did a little shopping. George bought Catherine a new fur coat and an $1,100 diamond bracelet. Then in Cleveland, Ohio, he bought himself a brand new Cadillac. It was there that they got the first sign that things weren't quite right. They heard that the feds had nabbed a few of the men who'd just helped them in St.

Paul. Catherine knew they had to keep moving to keep the lawmen off their scent. They drove the new caddy to Chicago, then continued on to Des Moines, Iowa, where they rented a hotel room and were just settling in when another bombshell landed. The feds had arrested Catherine's mother, Ora, and her husband, Boss Sherman. How had it all gone wrong so quickly?

To answer that, we need to backtrack a little. While Catherine and George had bounced around the Midwest, Charles had made his way home. But after nine grueling days as a hostage, he was so haggard his own staff didn't recognize him. In fact, the guard at the door even tried to turn him away. Luckily, someone recognized Charles and called for Bernice to come quickly.

Within minutes, lead FBI investigator Gus Jones was at the house, and by the next morning, Charles had given the feds more information than either he or the Kellys ever could have imagined possible. You see, Catherine and George had made the mistake of kidnapping a man who had a memory like an elephant. Since his early career as an accountant, Charles had been meticulous with details.

In fact, it was almost a photographic memory. and it seems the trauma of being kidnapped only heightened these abilities. According to Jim Hopper, a Harvard teaching associate in psychology, being in a high-stress state puts the brain into super-encoding mode, so much so that the central details of the event get burned into a person's memory and they may never forget them.
