About: Jeffrey and Jill Erickson

Jeffrey E. Erickson (1958–1992) and Jill Sandra Erickson (née Cohen; 1964–1991) were an American married criminal couple known for committing a series of violent bank robberies. The Ericksons are believed to have committed eight bank robberies in the Chicago metropolitan area in 1990 and 1991. Their modus operandi was for Jeffrey to announce a hold-up while wearing a fake beard and carrying a police scanner, while Jill prepared the getaway cars. She killed herself after a high-speed chase, while Jeffrey killed himself after attempting to escape the custody of two United States marshals. He had already shot and killed one marshal before being mortally wounded by a police detective, whom Erickson also killed.
