DANBURY, CT — The team behind an upcoming documentary about the infamous Pardue brothers is asking residents in Danbury and surrounding communities to help fill in pieces of the story.
According to a public appeal on Facebook, producers are seeking photographs, home movies, newspaper clippings and personal memories connected to the case or to the communities affected by it.
John R. Pardue Jr. and James P. Pardue were linked to a crime spree that included bank robberies, bombings and murders between 1968 and 1971, stretching from Connecticut to Maryland.
The filmmakers said they have spent more than five years researching and documenting the case and are now looking for material that cannot be found online, including family photos, images of local businesses and neighborhoods, and firsthand recollections from residents who remember the era.
Communities specifically mentioned in the appeal include Danbury and Georgetown in Connecticut, as well as Lewisboro, New York, and several Missouri communities.
Anyone with information, photographs or other materials can contact the production team through theparduebrothers.com or by emailing .
