Alvin Karpis
Alvin Karpis (August 10, 1907-August 26, 1979, born Alvin Karpowicz), nickname "Creepy" , was a noted criminal in the United States known for his alliance with the Barker gang in the 1930's. He was the last "Public Enemy Number 1" to be taken, a capture which elevated J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI to national prominence. His stay at Alcatraz, a little over 25 years, was longer than any other inmate interred there.
