Anthony Sperl discusses convicted Roy Radin hitman Bill Mentzer

Anthony Sperl has done almost every job. Doorman, bodyguard, PI, researcher.

He joins Ed Opperman to discuss the seamier side of his career, from coke filled celebrity parties to undercover work to dealing with some of the most notorious drug cartels and suppliers of recent years.

He talks at length about alleged Son of Sam conspirator, Roy Radin. Radin was a wealthy producer and show business promoter of vaudeville shows and oldies music tours throughout the 70s and 80s. He was born in 1950 to parents Al and Renee—a show promoter and showgirl, respectively. After his parents divorced when Radin was a teen, he and his mother briefly moved to Long Island, NY, then later, Radin moved to Florida with his father. Radin dropped out of high school to venture into show business and was very successful. By the time he was in his 20s, he had become a millionaire.

He also discusses his association with Bill Mentzer, who was jailed for murder of impresario Roy Radin, who was suspected of being the head of the Son of Sam cult. Mentzer was an associate of Charles Manson and also implicated in the killing of Arliss Perry, a devout Christian slain in North Dakota.

NOTE: I have made every attempt to clean up this audio, and though in places it is not as easy to understand as it should be, it's nothing to what is was before I got my hands on it.
