Ma Barker
You shouldn’t let the nickname of the godmother of crime throw you off. Arizona Donnie Barker, also known as Kate Barker, was seen as a merciless matriarch.
At only 19 years old, Arizona Clark married George Parker and the two of them had four sons together. However, the Barkers weren’t just a simple family, they were a crime family.
Their many highway robberies led many times to murder, which obviously caught the interest of the press and the public. At some point, the father and three sons ended up in jail.
Arizona received some lean years, but she rapidly reunited with Fred and reinitiated their crime spree that led to his death and his too.
