Ep 83: Mafia (Part 5)
Manage episode 517799508 series 3410770
Was New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello the man who ordered the hit on President John F. Kennedy?
In this episode, we trace Marcello’s rise from small-time Louisiana gangster to one of the most powerful bosses in America, controlling billion-dollar gambling, racing, and casino operations, and maintaining close ties to figures like Santos Trafficante and Lyndon Johnson. We examine Marcello’s deportation by Robert Kennedy, his alleged revenge plot, and multiple reported confessions tying him to the assassination.
You’ll also hear about Lee Harvey Oswald’s uncle Dutz Murret and his verified work for Marcello’s bookmaking network, as well as how Oswald himself lived amid Marcello-connected underworld hubs in New Orleans. Did Marcello use the Murrets, or others in his Dallas network, to reach Oswald?
From the CIA-Mafia plots against Castro to the classified CAMTEX prison recordings, we pull together the evidence surrounding Marcello’s possible role in the crime of the century.
