Science Didn't Exist!!- Jack the Ripper

While this case is wildly famous it has yet to be solved and is still stumping web sleuths to this very day!

"You're a Rat!"-Donnie Brasco
On this week's episode I tell Russ the story of the most successful FBI undercover mission in US history... Operation Sun-Apple a.k.a the story of Donnie Brasco! This is such an interesting case because one man went deeper into the Italian mafia than anyone had ever been. It was first time that law enforcement could see and understand the inner workings of the Cosa Nostra. This mission led to the arrest of 230 mafia members and associates and single handily dismantled the Bananno crime family in the early 80's. Russ and I both had mixed feelings about this one. I'm interested to see how you guys feel about how this all went down.Moral of this story...

The Starving Artist- Julie Kibuishi and Sam Herr
On this week's episode I tell Russ about the crazy case of Julie Kibuishi and Sam Herr. Police thought this was just another crime of passion. But they quickly realized there was way more to this story, and in fact, would go in a direction they never expected. This case is like something out of a shakespearean drama and it includes a couple more players. It's full of twists and turns with a tragic and unexpected ending. Moral of this story...
