Deathbed Confession Dad Tells Daughter ... I Was a Bank Fugitive, Hun

Exclusive

A woman dished all on her father's shocking deathbed confession ... saying her life changed when she discovered he had been a wanted man for most of his life following an old bank heist.
Ashley Randele came on "TMZ Live" Monday to tell her tale -- saying her father, Tom Randele, came clean with an estimated 6 weeks to live following a lung cancer diagnosis ... suddenly off-loading the decades-long secret as they watched NCIS.
The 71-year-old explained to Ashley and her mom that he had to change his real name ... and they ought to finally know in case it came up after his passing ... because authorities "were probably still looking for him."
Ashley says she pressed him for more info the next day after realizing it wasn't a "terrible dad joke" -- adding it was vital for her to know her dad's real name: Ted Conrad.
Ignoring his pleas not to look into it, Ashley later found herself searching his name online ... yielding various "vault teller robs bank" headlines ... and recent articles stating the 50-year hunt was still active.
The revelation left her stunned ... after all, she had just learned the man she always perceived as an average suburban dad stole $215,000 --- the equivalent of $1.8M today -- while working as a vault teller at the Society National Bank in Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, July 11, 1969, as a 20-year-old college dropout.
He fled to Washington, D.C., that night ... and when bank bosses discovered the theft on Monday, the FBI was called, and Conrad became a wanted man.
He ended up in Boston ... assuming a new identity and resuming normalcy despite his picture plastered across headlines.
Whether the heist was worth it or not would have been a question for Ted, AKA, Tom ... as Ashley says, most of the stolen money was blown on ritzy digs and at least one bad investment ... reaching the point of her loaning her parents 10K before they filed for bankruptcy in 2014.
Ashley goes in depth about her story on her podcast, "Smoke Screen: My Fugitive Dad."
She adds to us her dad never Googled himself ... refusing to believe that, after all this time, people cared about his crime. He passed away 2 months after his confession.

Mexico Bloodbath Mom Dies After Shark Bites Off Leg ... Young Daughter Saved
A mother in Mexico died after her leg got bitten off by a shark in the ocean -- this as she attempted to save her daughter ... who ultimately survived.

People scream in terror as those nearby rush over to help and flag down first responders -- but, sadly, Jimenez ended up losing her life after a massive amount of blood loss.
Per local officials, Jimenez was in the water with her 5-year-old when she noticed a shark swimming close by, about 75 feet from shore. The mother quickly hoisted her daughter up onto a floating play platform ... however, the animal ended up going after her instead.
The child is said to have been uninjured in the episode, but it's an absolute tragedy ... because she lost her mom. Law enforcement shut down the beach in the aftermath, including surrounding seaside areas as a precautionary measure.
It's unclear what species of shark may have been responsible. Jimenez is reported to have been a former marine biology student at the University of Guadalajara, and lived in Jalisco.

Susan Sarandon Apologizes For Anti-Jewish Remarks At Rally
Susan Sarandon is now walking back antisemitic remarks she delivered at a pro-Palestinian rally in NYC last month ... offering her apologies to anyone she offended.
The actress posted a lengthy statement on Instagram Friday night, explaining that she made a "terrible mistake" when she said Jews are “getting a taste of what it is like to be Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence.”

The demonstrators were protesting against the Israel-Hamas war, which broke out after the terrorist group invaded the Jewish state on October 7. Hamas militants, who rule over the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, slaughtered some 1,400 Jews, including babies.
In her IG post, Susan said she was invited to the event, but was not supposed to speak, yet ended up on stage with a mic in her hand, trying to communicate concerns about a rise in hate crimes throughout the country.

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor First Woman on Supreme Court Dead at 93
Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female justice on the Supreme Court, has died.
Justice O'Connor passed away Friday morning in Phoenix, AZ ... the court announced her death in a statement, saying she died, "of complications related to advanced dementia, probably Alzheimer’s, and a respiratory illness."
O'Connor made history in 1981 when she was appointed to the High Court by President Ronald Reagan. She was considered a moderate conservative, and often made the difference on the 9-person Court when it came to momentous decisions.
The Stanford Law School grad tackled the biggest social issues in the country, including abortion, affirmative action, and even presidential elections. She voted in 2000 to stop the recount in Florida in the race between Al Gore and George W. Bush ... her vote was part of the majority that secured Bush's election.
After leaving the Court in 2006, she bemoaned how it had swung way to the right, undoing some of her decisions over her 24-year tenure.
Chief Justice John Roberts said of Justice O'Connor, "A daughter of the American Southwest, Sandra Day O’Connor blazed an historic trail as our Nation’s first female Justice. She met that challenge with undaunted determination, indisputable ability, and engaging candor.”
Five women have followed in O'Connor's footsteps ... Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
O'Connor was 93.

KELLIE PICKLER SE VENDE LA CASA DE NASHVILLE DONDE SU MARIDO SE PEGÓ UN TIRO
La casa de Tennessee de Kellie Pickler donde su marido —Kyle Jacobs— se disparó trágicamente a principios de este año, está en el mercado por $2.890.000, TMZ ha aprendido.
De acuerdo con los registros de propiedad, la exquisita casa hecha a medida de 4 dormitorios y 5 baños en Nashville fue puesta en el mercado el miércoles.
A través de 4.865 pies cuadrados, la morada de estilo Tudor, cuenta con un concepto de planta abierta de invitación con un techo de bóveda de cañón en el comedor y bodega en el nivel principal.
Hay 10x10 postes de cedro que le dan el toque final a la casa. La chimenea de dos pisos en la gran sala contribuye a la acogedora sensación de estar rodeado de bosques.
Por supuesto, hay una piscina en el patio trasero y algunos hermosos trabajos de carpintería en toda la propiedad para un toque elevado de lujo de celebridades.
Kellie es el objetivo de hacer un beneficio considerable en la venta después de comprar la almohadilla en febrero de 2010 por $1.435.000.
El listado se produce poco más de nueve meses después de que el marido de Kellie Jacob fue encontrado muerto por suicidio en el dormitorio de arriba, el cual era la oficina de la casa.
Kellie y Kyle se casaron en 2011, y ambos protagonizaron "I Love Kellie Pickler" durante tres temporadas a partir de 2015.
Kyle trabajó como compositor de música country, con créditos vinculados a estrellas como Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, Darius Rucker, Garth Brooks y otros. Tenía 49 años.

Kellie Pickler's ready to put a painful memory behind her -- the longtime Tennessee home where her husband, Kyle Jacobs, fatally shot himself is now on the market for $2,890,000 ... TMZ has learned.
According to property records, the 4 bed, 5 bath custom-built home in Nashville was listed Wednesday.
The sprawling Tudor-style abode boasts 4,865 sq. feet and includes an inviting open floor plan, a barrel vault ceiling in the dining room and wine cellar on the main level.
Architecturally, it features 10x10 cedar posts throughout the home ... and the two-story fireplace in the great room makes for a super cozy, cabin-in-the-woods feel.
Of course, there's a pool nestled in the backyard and some beautiful millwork throughout the property for an elevated touch of celeb luxury.
Kellie purchased the pad in February 2010 for $1,435,000 -- so, depending on how much cash she put into it over the last 13 years, she stands to make a handsome profit.
The listing comes nearly 10 months after Kellie's husband was found dead by suicide in the upstairs bedroom/office at the home.
If you're wondering, Tennessee law does NOT require a seller to disclose a death in a house to potential buyers.
Kellie and Kyle married in 2011, and both starred on "I Love Kellie Pickler" for 3 seasons starting in 2015. Kyle was a songwriter, penning tracks for Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, Darius Rucker, Garth Brooks and others.
