Guest: Jon Wells, feature writer for the Hamilton Spectator

Hamilton has a long history of organized crime. One of the biggest events in its history was the killing of Johnny “The Enforcer” Papalia in broad daylight on May 31, 1997. Ken Murdock was the man who pulled the trigger. Jon Wells, a feature writer at the Hamilton Spectator, tracked down one of Canada’s most notorious hit men and joins “This Matters” to talk about what it was like speaking to a killer in search of a story.

This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
