Sweep run November 11, 2026 · press of record and Bureau record
The sweep is shown: searches for Dillinger or gang lore seated in Osceola, Indiana — a gang stop, a hideout, a robbery, a souvenir object — returned nothing seated in this town. The documented souvenir-car pattern, against which any Osceola claim would have to be checked, belongs to other towns and prints as theirs: the 1933 Ford V8 stolen from Sheriff Lillian Holley at Crown Point, the car of the March 3, 1934 escape; the 1933 Essex Terraplane displayed at the Indianapolis airport; and the cautionary instance — a "Dillinger Studebaker" whose owner admitted adding the bullet holes and inventing the story (Antique Studebaker Review, January/February 2001). The banked Crime leg's own record agrees at county strength: the gang era's course in this county is the June 30, 1934 Merchants National robbery in South Bend, and no gang stop, hideout, or robbery stands in Osceola or Penn Township in the record searched. Tested negative: Osceola, Indiana has no Dillinger lore in the press or Bureau record reached — not a debunked story, but no story at all, and the absence is printed at that strength.
