Baby Face Nelson: The Boy Who Became America’s Most Ruthless Killer

In the blood-soaked pantheon of Depression-era gangsters, one killer stood apart - not for his height, but for his face.  Witnesses consistently described him as looking like "an angel," with bright blue eyes and features so youthful that bank tellers often mistook him for a teenage messenger boy.  That angelic countenance masked the soul of perhaps the most efficient killer in gangster history.  Baby Face Nelson didn't just rob banks - he hunted FBI agents for sport, kept a list of their license plates, and giggled like a schoolboy while gunning them down.  He was a member of John Dillinger’s gang and replaced him as Public Enemy Number One. This isn't the story of another charming outlaw like Bonnie and Clyde - it's the tale of a cherub-faced psychopath who turned Depression-era America into his personal killing ground.
