Description: George Lawler recounts a story about Leo Kelly (head of security and former FBI agent) and the 1955 bank robbery. He described Kelly's beliefs about what had happened to the Connellys after they abandoned George and his sister Veronica. Although another agent related a different theory about the Connellys' whereabouts, Kelly's theory was that George's father, if he were alive, would be in New York because he "was such a New York guy."
