Zollie Clement - The Boy Bandit

A young boy found himself lost in the pages of adventure-filled dime novels and couldn't get enough. Before too long he brought those adventures to life just to read about his own adventures in the headlines. Zollie Clement became the Boy Bandit by night, yet he was conniving and clever enough by day to get away with it under the noses of all who knew him. He was so good at hiding in plain sight that he got away with it for an entire decade! He robbed and murdered without a second thought and went to church the next day with his sweet baby-faced charm.

It's typical of the stories we cover to have been lost to our collective memories, but this story is different. We didn't just lose the story, but we also lost Zollie Clement himself. Zollie pulled off one last crime—wrote himself into one last grand adventure—and we never got to read the ending.

Where is Zollie Clement? How does the story end?
