Not even his wife or daughter knew until Thomas Randele told them in what authorities described as a deathbed confession.
Tom Randele, whose real name according to authorities is Ted Conrad, is pictured in September 2012. The former Ohio bank teller-turned-thief, lived for decades under a different name in suburban Boston. Conrad died in May 2021.Just before Thomas Randele died, his wife of nearly 40 years asked his golfing buddies and his co-workers from the dealerships where he sold cars to come by their home.
Ted Conrad quickly figured out that security was fairly loose at the Society National Bank in Cleveland after he started as a teller in January 1969.He told his buddies it would be easy to rob the place, said Russell Metcalf, his best friend from high school. The bank heist in 1969 didn’t capture the attention of the nation, or even of Cleveland. Everyone else was focused on Apollo 11′s historic flight to the moon.
His father died in March 2020 before investigators pieced together details from Randele’s obituary and signatures from his past. Then in November, Randele’s family confirmed that just before he died, he told them what he had done, Elliott said.“It wasn’t about the money. He always wanted to impress people,” said Metcalf, his high school pal.
Around then, he began working in the car business, selling Land Rovers and Volvos until he retired after nearly 40 years.
