Hollywood Bank Robber: Scott Skurlock’s Seattle Manhunt and Lake City Shootout

A master of disguise terrorized Seattle’s banks through the 1990s, slipping past cameras, dye packs, and alarms. Agents had a nickname, a sketch, and a terrifying prediction from a profiler — but no name. Step inside The FBI Files investigation as theatrical makeup, a Glock 9mm, and a mysterious radio hint at a shocking possibility. Watch how a blue getaway car, a failed dye pack, and a million-dollar haul push a multi-agency task force to go on the offensive. Then, on the night before Thanksgiving 1996, a Lake City chase erupts — and what follows reveals an underground makeup studio, a three-story treehouse hideout, and two wounded accomplices with one crucial name. From stakeouts and scanner gambits to SWAT protocols shaped by past tragedies, this case shows how patience, precision, and timing finally cornered the man they called Hollywood — and why the ending still stuns seasoned investigators. Watch to see how it all connects without the spoilers. Watch the full episode for the complete timeline, tactics, and the moment Hollywood is finally unmasked. #TheFBIFiles #ScottSkurlock #TrueCrime #Seattle #FBI #BankRobbery #Manhunt #Documentary
