A single dad turns to robbing banks to save his struggling family. In the end, his actions destroy it.

In 2008, teenage twins Elise and Marissa Giammanco were stunned when police said their dad was secretly the prolific bank robber known as the Boonie Hat Bandit. A single father, Keith Giammanco said their family was constantly on the edge of financial ruin, so he robbed a dozen banks to pay the bills and hold off foreclosure. Law enforcement and the public were not sympathetic to his claim that he did it just to support his daughters. With their father behind bars, the twins are left on their own to navigate finances, addiction, homelessness, and their deteriorating relationship. Giammanco came to realize the things he did to save his family were the very things that destroyed it.

The true crime podcast “Deep Cover: The Family Man” from Pushkin tells the story of a financially struggling father who turned to a life of crime, and how his double life affected him and his daughters. Host Jake Halpern conducts intimate interviews with the Giammancos to discuss the crime spree and explore the long-lasting personal fallout from Keith’s actions.
