Michelle Renee: Crime Victim or Mastermind?
Michelle Renee is the vice-president of a Bank of America branch. She is now in question whether she is a victim or the mastermind of the bank robbery herself.
Michelle Renee was with her 7 year old daughter Breea at their Vista, Califonia home when the incident happened. That night, three masked gunmen break in their home and held her and her daughter as their captives.
In the morning, the gunmen strapped dynamite both on Michelle Renee and on Breea's back. Breea then was kept in a closet as hostage. The gunmen told Michelle Renee to rob the bank she managed. She gets a bag with $360,000 from the bank's vault. As she gave the bag to the gunmen, they quickly left them alone.
Here are photos of Michelle Renne and Breea with the fake dynamites strapped on them on an FBI reenactment. Photos from CBS News.
The gunmen seems to know who Michelle Renee was and about her work. Michelle Renee said she recognized one of the gunmen as the bank's customer. The dynamites that was strapped on their back was later discovered as fake. Michelle Renee had filed a bankruptcy a week before the crime. She is a divorcee. All these make investigators and even FBI agents to wonder if she is really a real victim, or the mastermind.
Here's a video of the Spencer's Reporter's Notebook of CBS News about the incident.
