Peggy Jo Tallas, known as "Cowboy Bob," led an extraordinary double life as a mild-mannered Texan woman and a master bank robber. Disguised as a man with a cowboy hat and fake mustache, she pulled off a series of successful heists in the 1990s. Her true identity remained a mystery for years, as she never used violence and eluded capture. Peggy Jo's criminal career came to a tragic end in 2005 when she attempted one last robbery without her disguise, resulting in a fatal police standoff. Her story continues to intrigue due to her unlikely profile and daring exploits.
