Happy (almost) New Year. In this episode we're digging into Roger Touhy's memoir, The Stolen Years, first published in 1959. Touhy's arrest and conviction for kidnapping John "Jake the Barber" Factor in 1934 is a perfect example of the corruption of prohibition era Chicago through the lens of Chicago police captain Dan Gilbert and State's Attorney Thomas Courtney.

And Touhy's book is publicly available online!

Who's on the list? Welcome back to Call Edna where we're digging into Capone's bloody legacy to see who murdered my relative, Dennis Bruce Zeigler.

Before he was murdered, Bruce told his wife, Edna, the names of three men who might kill him: William Maloney, John Lynch, and Lloyd Little.

In this episode, we'll learn who these men are, how they knew Bruce, and whether they had any motive to kill him.

Plus, we'll find out who the police investigated in February 1933 as possible suspects...and take a second look at those officers ourselves.
