What would you do if you discovered your father had been leading a double life—one as a respected firefighter, the other as an alleged hitman for the Chicago Outfit? That’s exactly what Kyle Tekiela faced when he learned the shocking truth about his father, Kenny "The Kid" Tekiela. In his gripping podcast, Crook County, Kyle unpacks his father’s alleged ties to the infamous Chicago Outfit—a crime syndicate that operated under mob bosses like Sam Giancana and Al Capone. In this episode, I sit down with Kyle to discuss what it was like to uncover his father’s past, the emotional toll it took on him and his family, and why he decided to share his story with the world. We also dive into the production of Crook County, the unexpected responses he’s received, and the impact this journey has had on his mental and emotional well-being. If you love true crime, family secrets, and deeply personal storytelling, you won’t want to miss this one!
