Terrill the Safe Cracker With a Checkered Career
Ray Terrill, wounded in a prison break at Oklahoma Penitentiary, was famed as the state’s cleverest safe breaker. His career spanned Tulsa burglaries in 1916, bank heists with Al Spencer, and a system that combined winched safes with a mystifying “mystery box” routine. He later hired out as a consulting safe cracker while evading capture through jail breaks and bond dodges.
