Crime & Entertainment

Today on Crime & Entertainment we have the daughter of one of the most powerful mob bosses to ever live. Rita Gigante grew up in a world swirling with secrets, lies, and multiple sins. Her father, notorious Mafia boss Vincent “the Chin” Gigante, was the leader of the Genovese crime clan and the head of all five New York crime families for decades. However, until she was 16, she was kept in the dark about his underworld activities. She unknowingly hung out at mob headquarters and witnessed her dad’s whispered meetings around the dinner table, but only knew what she was told by her mother and siblings about his odd behavior: Dad’s sick. Keep your mouth shut. Don’t talk about the family. Living with the family secret—and other shocking betrayals she was to uncover, then instructed to conceal—plunged Rita into emotional and physical turmoil for years. And then there was the blockbuster secret she herself kept hidden away: As the youngest girl in an old-fashioned, devout Catholic family, how could she confess to the unforgiving Godfather that she was a lesbian? They were all going to hell, she figured . . . unless she could find a way to embrace the truth and find redemption. In The Godfather’s Daughter, Rita details her spiritual journey as she unravels the mysteries of her family and herself and learns what it means to live in the truth she finds. It’s a real-life father-daughter tale of betrayal and faith, violence and love—and how a young woman escaped from a spiraling darkness to reach the light. And in the end, with his daughter’s healing help, even the Godfather finally learns to live in the light and atone for his sins. So, strap in for another wild episode here on Crime & Entertainment.

Today on Crime & Entertainment we have a crazy tale of cold-blooded murder of Danny Seifert committed by the Chicago Outfit. On September 27, 1974, Chicago businessman Daniel Seifert was brutally gunned down in front of his four-year-old son Joey and young wife, Emma Seifert. Gunmen were Tony "The Ant" Spilotro & Frank 'The German" Schweihs. Some would call him a victim, but others would say he had it coming. At the time, Seifert was a former partner with some of the top people in the Chicago Mob. He has been directly linked to top Mob bosses such as Joe Lombardo Sam Giancana, bail-bondsman / Mob financier Irwin Weiner, and Tony Spilotro. Danny, himself was a street-smart and ambitious young man, he followed in his father’s example in his efforts to provide a good, comfortable life for his wife and children. Soon, however, his path leads him toward the dark heart of the Mob. His career choices eventually bring him to a point where he must choose between loyalty to the Mob and probable prison time, or coming clean to the FBI, testifying against Mob leaders and risking retaliation to himself and his family. He chooses the latter, which ultimately leads to his murder and decades of living in fear for his widow, Emma, and their children. His son Joey who was just 4 years old at the time sits down with Crime ^ Entertainment to recount the tragic events of that day and detail the facts that he came to find out years later about his father's murder.  So, strap in for this crazy show here on Crime & Entertainment.

Today on Crime & Entertainment, we present our first installment of Behind the Gangster. On this show, we will deep dive into a particular gangster's life that has been portrayed on screen. As audience members, we often wonder about the validity of story lines within organized crime movies. Well, Behind the Gangster will allow you to get the answers. Today, we sit down with former Gambino family associate, Anthony Ruggiano Jr. Anthony grew up alongside many members of organized crime because his father, "Fat Andy", was a highly respected member of the Gambino's. One of the guys he grew up with was Lucchese mobster, Thomas DeSimone, whom we will be covering in today's episode. Thomas DeSimone was born May 24, 1950, and disappeared on January 14, 1979. He was an American criminal associated with New York City's Lucchese crime family who is alleged to have participated in both the Air France robbery and the Lufthansa heist. He also committed numerous murders, including killing William Bentvena in 1970. DeSimone went missing in 1979 and is believed to have been murdered. DeSimone's career in the Lucchese family is explored in the book, Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, and inspired by the character of Tommy DeVito, portrayed by Joe Pesci in the 1990 film Goodfellas. So, strap in and listen as we go Behind the Gangster.

Today on Crime & Entertainment we have Author, Robert H. Edwards. Robert has written a book called, D. B. Cooper and Flight 305: Reexamining the Hijacking and Disappearance. This case has enamored many of Americans for now 51 years to the day. The "D. B. Cooper" case is the only unsolved act of air piracy in US history. On November 24, 1971, a polite, nondescript, and dark-complexioned man calling himself "Dan Cooper" hijacked Northwest Airlines Flight 305, Boeing 727, between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. At Seattle International Airport, he demanded and received $200,000 and four parachutes, released the passengers, and ordered the crew to take him to Mexico. Somewhere along the way, he jumped. He was never found or identified. Forty-five years later, the FBI gave up the hunt. This book looks at the case from the perspective of a mathematician and pilot. It uses previously unexamined data and original-source documents, combined with the tools of statistics, aeronautics, and meteorology, to show where and how the FBI could resume the search and possibly find out at last who "D. B. Cooper" really was.

Today on Crime & Entertainment, we have former Genovese member, Anthony Arillotta. Anthony was the leader of the Springfield, Massachusetts crew of New York’s Genovese crime family. He was schooled in the life of crime by guys like Frank “Skyball” Scibelli and Adolfo “Big Al” Bruno whom he would later be charged for murdering. Throughout his life of crime, he rose to the top very fast and through gambling, narcotics, and other rackets he brought in millions of dollars. However, as does most stories like Anthony's, things came to an abrupt end. When he was arrested in 2010, he admitted to his role in the murder of former Springfield boss, Adolfo Bruno, and mob associate, Gary Westerman. He took the stand and exposed the Bruno murder plot along with various other mob-related crimes incriminating members of his old crew and former Genovese family acting boss Arthur “Artie” Nigro. Arillotta finished up his eight-year prison sentence and decided that he didn’t need federal protection, so he opted out of the witness protection program. He now resides right back where he grew up and he is very much in the public eye. He also recently started his own YouTube Channel which you can find in the link below.

Today on Crime & Entertainment we take you on a unbelievable ride of murder, wrongful conviction & incarceration. Imagine walking in your home to find your wife lying dead, stabbed to death on the floor. The sight of that alone is enough to send someone over the edge but imagined being accused of doing such a heinous act. Thats exactly what happened to our guest today, Russ Faria. On December 27th, 2011, Russell Faria returned to his Troy, Missouri, home after his weekly game night with friends to an unthinkable, grisly scene: His wife, Betsy, lay dead, a knife still lodged in her neck. She’d been stabbed fifty-five times.

First responders concluded that Betsy was dead for hours when Russ discovered her. No blood was found implicating Russ, and surveillance video, receipts, and friends’ testimony all supported his alibi. Yet incredibly, police and the prosecuting attorney ignored the evidence. In their minds, Russ was guilty. But prominent defense attorney Joel J. Schwartz quickly recognized the real killer.

The motive was clear. Days before her murder, the terminally ill Betsy replaced her husband with her friend, Pamela Hupp, as her life insurance beneficiary. Still, despite the prosecution’s flimsy case and Hupp’s transparent lies, Russ was convicted—leaving Hupp free to kill again. This is the story of what can happen when police, prosecutor, judge, and jury all fail in their duty to protect the innocent—and let a killer get away with murder.

Check out the detailed book on this case below
