- American gangster, bank robber and kidnapper, Kate Barker (aka Ma Barker) was the leader of a notorious gang known as the Bloody Barkers. She and her husband George Barker and their four sons Herman (b. 1894), Lloyd (b. 1896), Arthur (b. 1899, known as 'Doc') and Fred (b. 1902) roamed through the American Midwest, robbing, killing and kidnapping. The gang accumulated $3 million from their raids, and large rewards were offered for their bodies. In 1927 Herman committed suicide to avoid capture. Doc and Ma were killed at Lake Weir, Florida, in a 45-minute shootout with the FBI in 1935. George Barker buried them in Welch, Oklahoma. In 1939 Fred was killed trying to escape from Alcatraz Prison. Lloyd was killed by his wife in 1949.
