real life examples:

  • Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow of historical and cinematic fame are arguably the most iconic and most referenced Trope Codifiers, to the point that they were previously the Trope Namers. Throughout fiction, Bonnie and Clyde tend to be subjected to a Historical Hero Upgrade, something that's helped by photos found of the two goofing around, as seen on the linked Wikipedia page. In reality, the public eventually grew to dislike them due to their deliberate murder of police officers and innocent bystanders. This is in contrast to straightforward bandits like John Dillinger, who weren't interested in unprovoked bloodshed and thus were lionized as cool outlaws at the time. Attempts by law enforcement to confront the two had resulted in them escaping and often killing multiple officers in the process, hence why their deaths at the hands of a shoot-to-kill ambush posse was deemed necessary. Given that kind of motivation, law enforcement types do not fool around. Finally, unlike the otherwise-prophetic poem quoted above, they were notburied side-by-side — Bonnie's mother insisted on this, quoted as saying something to the effect of, "He had her in life, but he won't have her in death."
    • Bonnie and Clyde were accompanied on part of their adventures by Clyde's older brother Buck and his wife Blanche. Buck was shot in the head during one of Bonnie and Clyde's gunfights and died five days later; Blanche was blinded in one eye during the same gunfight but survived, living to the age of 77.
  • John Dillinger's mistress Billie Frechette never participated in any of his bank robberies, but she was present with Dillinger during two police shootouts on other occasions — in Chicago in November 1933, and in St. Paul at the beginning of April 1934.
  • A similar couple, Benny and Stella Dickson, were active at about the same time (the late 1930s).
  • Alton Coleman and Debra Brown, who killed eight people during a summer 1984 crime spree that spanned six U.S. states. Alton was executed by lethal injection; Debra sits in prison today, serving a life sentence without parole.
  • Anne Bonny and "Calico Jack" Rackham were a pair of pirates who started their careers this way. The presence of Mary Reade, who joined the crew disguised as a man and developed a close relationship with Anne Bonny, adds another interesting wrinkle to their story.
  • Canadian Tropers will remember Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, much as they'd rather forget them. They raped and murdered three teenage girls in the early '90s, Leslie Mahaffy, Kristen French, and Karla's own sister Tammy, and while Paul got life in prison, Karla managed a sentence of just twelve years by telling police that Paul had abused her and forced her to go along with his killing spree. By the time that videotapes surfaced revealing that she had in fact been an active participant, it was already too late to sentence her again.
  • And for the Brits:
  • Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, who served as the inspiration for Kit and Holly in the aforementioned Badlands (1973).
  • Roy Hall and Michael Kitto.
  • Lee Whitely and Deborah Taylor.
  • Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez.
  • Phillip and Nancy Garrido, known for the long-term abduction of Jaycee Dugard in 1991, who was 11 at the time of her kidnapping, having kept her in an isolated camp in their backyard in Antioch, California, until she was eventually rescued in 2009. Both pled guilty in 2011, and as a result, Nancy received 36 years to life, while Phillip, who had a long history of being a Serial Rapist, received 431 years and agreed not to appeal his sentence.
  • Gerald and Charlene Gallego.
  • The Villainous Mother-Son Duo Sante and Kenny Kimes. Even worse, while it was vehemently denied by both of them, the body language and dialogue observed by others indicate that the "lovers" label can apply to them too.
  • In the Czech Republic, the criminal duo Pavel Tauchen and his wife Dagmar were referred to as "the Czech Bonnie and Clyde." Notably, Dagmar managed to liberate her husband from a prison escort. Their escape ended similarly to the real Bonnie and Clyde: with a shoot-out with the police during which Pavel committed suicide and Dagmar was wounded and arrested.
  • A year after the end of Pavel and Dagmar's career, another couple of Czech bank robbers (and "Gentleman Gangsters") made the news. Even more similar to the real Bonnie and Clyde, they were both killed in a shoot-out during their last robbery: he was shot by the police, she committed suicide.
  • Much less romantic are Mr. and Mrs. Stodola, a couple of robbers and serial murderers. After they were both sentenced to life in jail, they got divorced.
  • Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme, the basis for the film Heavenly Creatures.
  • Infamous French gangster Jacques Mesrine, whose criminal exploits involved going on a crime spree with his mistress Jeanne Schneider in Canada and America.
  • The whole point of the show Wicked Attraction on the Investigation Discovery network is to profile real-life cases. An interesting example was a lesbian couple who murdered one of their husbands.
    • Also, nearly all of the women here have been featured on another ID series, Deadly Women, with varying degrees as to how much they were influenced by the men.
  • Jerad and Amanda Miller, a husband-and-wife team of Right Wing Militia Fanatics in Las Vegas who tried to start a revolution. They only got as far as shooting up a pizzeria and a Walmart, killing two cops and one bystander who tried to be a hero, before going down in a prolonged shootout with the police. Jerad was gunned down, while Amanda killed herself. They originally planned to continue on to a courthouse but never made it that far.
  • Leo Felton and Erica Chase were even less competent than the aforementioned Millers. A pair of white supremacists who plotted to bomb a museum and at least two Holocaust memorials and assassinate a number of Jewish and African-American leaders, they only made it as far as counterfeiting money and a single bank robbery to fund their plot before they got busted. (Ironically, Felton was half-black himself.)
  • Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik were a Terrorist Couple, launching the 2015 massacre in San Bernadino, California that took the lives of fourteen people (not counting themselves) and wounded twenty-four others.
