Roberto Solis

Roberto Solis (born 1945) is an armored car robber, convicted murderer and poet. He has more than 30 aliases including Pancho Aguila, a pen name he used in prison while writing poetry.

Life
Solis served 17 years in prison for murdering a security guard during a robbery in 1969. He was given parole in 1992.

Afterwards he met Heather Tallchief, who got a job with a security company at his urging. In October 1993, following Solis' instructions, Tallchief drove off with an armoured vehicle containing $2.5 million. The two subsequently went on the run and had a child. Tallchief gave herself up in September 2005, but Solis is still at large.
