High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Carey (August 25, 1894 July 29, 1932) was a Midwestern armed robber and contract killer responsible for many crimes during the Prohibition era. He is considered a suspect in the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929. Born and raised in St. Louis, Carey joined the Egan's Rats gang his early twenties. By 1917, he had made fast friends with Fred Killer Burke, who would turn out to be one of his closest criminal associates. After U.S. Army service during World War I, Carey remained a low-level associate of the Egan Gang. At this time, Burke was away in prison and Bob Carey became associated with Cincinnati hoodlum Raymond "Crane Neck" Nugent. Both men were suspected of robbing of a Cincinnati bank messenger in December 1921 and trying to fence the bonds through the Egan's Rats. While known to have above-average intelligence, Bob Carey was also an alcoholic who got quite sloppy and violent when he drank. Nevertheless, it was Carey who was suspected of convincing Fred Burke to don a fake police uniform so they could rob a St. Louis distillery of $80,000 worth of whiskey on April 25, 1923.
