Bobby Randell Wilcoxson[1] (July 10, 1929 – December 9, 2006) was an American bank robber who appeared on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in 1963.
[2] He was well respected as an efficient crew foreman in the lettuce fields of the Salinas Valley in California, because he spoke Spanish and intimidated laborers.
"One Eye" Bobby Wilcoxson and his crime partner Albert Frederick Nussbaum of Buffalo, New York, were prolific bandits between 1960 and 1962, knocking over at least seven banks in an eighteen-month run.
Peter Columbus Curry of Quitman, Georgia, joined Wilcoxson and Nussbaum on December 15, 1961 - the trio holding up a branch of the Lafayette National Bank in Brooklyn, New York.
[2] When rumors placed the robbers in Canada and The United Kingdom, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Bobbies of Scotland Yard joined the manhunt.
Mid morning on November 10, 1962, Wilcoxson and Rose came out of their rented home in Baltimore, Maryland, where they encountered a swarm of 30 FBI agents.
While awaiting an appeal of his conviction, Bobby Randell Wilcoxson died of natural causes on December 9, 2006, at the age of 77 while in the custody of the Tennessee Department of Correction.
