We begin this show with Gary telling us why and how he got involved with law enforcement. The process behind becoming a detective and then how he landed a position with the KC Police Intelligence Unit. Gary talks in detail about his first assignment watching a car lot from a cemetery and how that led to the investigation of the Civella-Spero Mob War. After that surveillance was over next he was assigned to work surveillance on persons connected to the skim in Las Vegas. 

Gary tells the story when he was being followed by the underboss of the KC Crime Family, Carl “Tuffy”DeLuna and how a bug that was placed in a pizza place led to a bigger investigation of the skim coming from Las Vegas! Gary goes into depth about how this came about, along with some insights of the case. This alone is worth the price of admission which is FREE! 

We talk about Allan Glick and was he legit? How Gary obtained the ledger notes that DeLuna kept and were they any good? Allen Dorfman who was tied to Jimmy Hoffa and the Chicago Outfit is discussed and a story about Nicholas Pileggi, the man who wrote the book Casino that become the movie. The show wraps up with hearing about Gary’s podcast- Gangland Wire. Become a Wiretapper!
