Bonnie & Clyde Leave Town; City Continues Enthrallment

A reader emailed me to complain I was spending too much time focusing on the media’s obsession with Jocelyn “Bonnie” Kirsch of the 2007 Bloodless Bonnie & Clyde duo (which also features Edward Anderton, who nobody knows anything about).

Yesterday, the pair both left the city to return to their home states. Anderton (who?) is home on the west coast in Washington, while Kirsch is back home in North Carolina.

But back to the actual crime: Police allege Kirsch and Anderton stole the identities of several people — five so far, according to NBC 10 — banking at least $100,000. Police say they may have installed spyware on their neighbors’ computers; a discussion I had with not one but two separate Foodery clerks came to the conclusion they totally made a ton of amateurish mistakes.

When police raided their Rittenhouse apartment, they allegedly found a ton of fake IDs and, most hilariously, a 2005 Daily Pennsylvanian article about how bouncers spot fake IDs. The cops also found Kirsch’s iPhoto directory (or whatever) and released a ton of photos to the press to make the story sexier.

More on this later today — hopefully I can dump everything in “bonnieandclyde.txt” on my desktop on the blog today — but the main story is definitely that Facebook group “SHE GOIN’ TO JAAAAAAAAIL!!!! (and THAT’S hilarious)” is back up. Wow, Drexel girls are way mean. Rawr.

Oh, yeah, and that other Jocelyn Kirsch Facebook group has photos of her from elementary school. Ahh, okay.
