North Texas Serial Bank Robber Identified
The manhunt for suspected serial bank robber Steven Milam now stretches from North Texas to Tyler.
Milam is also accused of hitting banks in Dallas, Irving and Plano while wearing what’s known as a “Handsome Guy” mask.
Authorities say Milam, 44, is actually a casket salesman from Tyler, who was featured in a 2009 TV report.
Richardson police said Milam robbed the BBVA Compass Bank at Campbell and Plano Roads Saturday morning, then opened fire on the first officer to respond.
No one was hurt, but their were three bullet holes left in the squad car. The FBI says Milam may be responsible for more than half a dozen holdups in North Texas.
Carla Bridges lives next door to Milam in Tyler and was surprised to learn about his alleged double life.
Bridges told WFAA in Dallas, “Shoot! I didn’t know all that,” she said. “They’ve always been nice. They’d speak to us when we’d speak to them, and all that.”
A handful of patrol cars have been staking out the suspect’s home, but Bridges said she hasn’t seen him since Christmas.
Police and the FBI are asking for the public’s help in finding Steven Milam before he strikes again. Milam is now wanted for attempted capital murder and multiple counts of bank robbery. Milam is armed and extremely dangerous. Call Richardson police at 972-744-4801 or your local police agency if you have any information about the suspect.
