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.

Solis served 17 years in prison for murdering a security guard during a robbery in 1969.[1][2] He was given parole in 1992.[3] Following his release, he met Heather Tallchief, who became employed by a security company at his urging. In October 1993, following Solis' instructions, Tallchief drove away in an armored vehicle containing $2.5 million.[2][3] The two subsequently went on the run and had a child.[4] Tallchief gave herself up in September 2005, but Solis is still at large.[3]
