| On Oct. 7, 1896, the quiet town of Sherburn, Minnesota, was forever changed when the Kellihan brothers rolled into infamy, committing a daring bank robbery that would become the worldâ s first heist executed on bicycles. Wheels of Murder unravels the gripping true story of Hans and Lew Kellihan, two young men from Iowa who left a trail of murder, chaos and tragedy in their wake. Their swift, wheeled escape sparked an intense 150-mile manhunt across southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Akin to the James-Younger Gangâ s infamous 1876 raid on the bank at Northfield, Minnesota, the Kellihansâ exploits captivated a nation 20 years later, highlighting the fragile line between violence and desperation. From a rain of bullets to a chilling showdown, this unforgettable tale reveals the brothersâ ill-planned getaway, the dedication of the lawmen pursuing them, and the emotional fallout for their family, as well as the numerous individuals impacted by the crime's far-reaching consequences. Rich with historical detail and emotional depth, Wheels of Murder is more than just a true-crime story; itâ s a reflection on ambition, loss and the extent to which people will go for survival. Will justice prevail, or will the wheels of fate spin in the outlawsâ favor? Uncover the truth behind one of Americaâ s most sensational crimes. |
