February 7, 1934 – The Ma Barker gang kidnaps Edward J. Bremer for $200,000 and launders the cash through the practice of Toledo physician Joseph P. Moran. Moran later brags that he knows enough about the gang that they are in “the palm of my hand.” Not a good boast with psychopaths in the room. Moran’s body is later discovered in Lake Erie. It has no hands.
