Craig Pritchert, 37, is a former college baseball star. Nova Guthrie is a former biology major and sorority president. Before each heist, Guthrie and Pritchert are believed to spend considerable time in the area. They study and survey the targeted bank. Each robbery is an armed take-over, and often occurs when the bank opens or closes. They wear disguises and maintain radio contact with their co-conspirators on the outside via two-way radios. They usually abandon their vehicle not far from the bank.

For nearly two years it would seem Nova and Craig were a match made in bank robbing heaven, but in 1999, their world almost fell apart. Nova had a change of heart. She asked for help from her sister, who led her to chaplain Bill Fay in Denver. Nova told Chaplain Fay she wanted out of her life of crime. She turned herself in to the FBI and began revealing bits about the heists. The FBI was so confident that Nova would divulge all that they let her go without an arrest. It was a move they would soon regret. Apparently, Nova decided the straight and narrow was not for her. Authorities say she rejoined Craig and went back to bank robbing. They committed another robbery in the fall of 2000 and were last seen in Nova Scotia at a professional hockey game. Authorities surrounded the area but somehow the couple managed to evade the cops one more time.
