Division of Investigations chief J. Edgar Hoover created a special task force headquartered in Chicago to locate Dillinger.
On July 21, a madam from a brothel in Gary, Indiana, Ana Cumpănaş, also known as Anna Sage, contacted the police.
She was a Romanian immigrant threatened with deportation for " low moral character " and offered the federal agency information on Dillinger in exchange for their help in preventing her deportation.
The agency agreed to her terms.
Cumpănaş told them that Dillinger was spending his time with another prostitute, Polly Hamilton, and that she and the couple would be going to see a movie together on the following day.
She agreed to wear an orange dress, which is believed to have appeared red in the artificial lights of the theater, so that police could easily identify her.
She was unsure which of two theaters they would be attending but told the agency their names: the Biograph and the Marbro.
