Steve Meyers and Shawn Johnson: How to Rob a Bank, The Treehouse, and the Hollywood Bandit
Thirty years after the last shot was fired, the bank robber and the FBI agent who chased him are sitting down together.
Steve Meyers helped Scott Scurlock pull off the Hollywood Bandit crime spree that hit 19 Seattle banks and took roughly $2.3 million between 1992 and 1996. Shawn Johnson was the FBI case agent who spent four and a half years hunting them. Both appear in the Netflix documentary How to Rob a Bank, and both say the film left out the story that actually matters, which is why they reconnected, why they are now friends, and what really happened on Thanksgiving Eve 1996.
