Brothers against Brothers: The Civella-Spero War

In this documentary film, Gary Jenkins, former Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit Detective, host, and producer of the popular mafia podcast Gangland Wire, guides the viewer on a journey inside a Kansas City mob war. Brothers Nick and Carl “Cork” Civella ruled Kansas City’s la Cosa Nostra family since 1957. In the 1960s, four brothers named Nick, Mike, Joe, and Carl Spero started careers as professional criminals. The established Civella crime family thought of these brothers as mavericks. Starting with the gangland-style murder of the eldest brother, Nick Spero, this mob war rages for a decade until a powerful bomb killed the last brother standing in 1984.

Ballot Theft: Burglary, Murder, Coverup – DVD

Gary Jenkins tells a little-known story about election rigging in the 1946 Kansas City Primary election. This story starts with a letter from President Harry S. Truman to the Kansas City political boss, Jim Pendergast. President Truman was having trouble with a Missouri congressman named Roger Slaughter and wanted him beat in the primary. The actual people who carried out the rigging of this primary were members of the Kansas City Mob. Charles Binnagio was the Mob boss and an astute politician. He instructed his precinct captains to ensure that Slaughter lost. When their machinations were discovered, the mob blew a safe, stole the evidence, and then committed murder to cover up their actions.
