Unlike the Chicago outfit, the Kansas City Mob family did not have many local officers on their payroll.  In 1976, we did expose and arrest a cop burglary ring.

These tapes of crimes, criminals, gangs, mobs and mob members are so (much fun) intriguing.  Your discussions are so real that it put a person right alongside what has been investigated.  I love the mob stories, and really got into the Berdella story with Troy Cole.  Thanks Gangland Wire, look forward to your work, great job Phil Cochran

I just discovered your podcast today, I probably listened to about 4 episodes while at work. Can't wait for work tomorrow so I can listen to more. Thank you for sharing your info and doing the research you do. I read a book called when the mob ran Vegas and man I was hooked. I bought the book while in Vegas, so when I went back a couple years later I was pretty excited to check all the spots out. Now after listening to your podcast I'm pretty sure my next trip is going to be Kansas City you definitely have peeked my interest. Looking forward to listening to more. Thank you again Taylor in Canada

Thanks Gary and Aaron for the best true crime reporting on the internet.
