#3 James-Younger Gang vs. #6 Barker-Karpis Gang

The James-Younger Gang advances. They were so effective and connected to the Missouri population post Civil War that local law enforcement couldn't or wouldn't stop them, forcing the invention of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency to fill the gap. They forced the transition from local posses to the first real concept of organized pursuit.

#4 Charles Starkweather vs. #5 Billy the Kid
Starkweather moves on. Billy the Kid is a legend, but Starkweather’s 1958 multi-state spree became the prototype for the modern spree killer. His violence forced a level of interstate law enforcement coordination and public alerting that the old West simply didn't have.

The Verdict: James/Younger Gang and Charlie Starkweather move to the Semifinals.
