Ep. 167 - Is George Remus "The Great Gatsby?"


Listen Later

When Chicago lawyer George Remus moved to Cincinnati in 1920, he was already famous for pioneering the temporary insanity defense. But he had another career in mind when he came to Ohio - building a criminal empire. Later, some would say F. Scott Fitzgerald modeled his legendary character Jay Gatsby after the multimillionaire who was so brilliant, he got away with shooting his wife in front of dozens of witnesses. www.ohiomysteries.com[email protected] www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Audionautix- The Great UnknownThe Great Phospher- Daniel Birch
