Ken Tekiela was a celebrated Chicago firefighter and a loving father of two who led a secret double life as a hitman for the Chicago mafia. Is it even possible to keep a life of crime hidden from your wife and kids for two decades? Yes, it is. I know because Ken is my father. In 2013, after a lifetime of deception, he broke down and told me everything, and our whole world changed…

CROOK COUNTY is the shocking true-crime podcast about my father's rise through the ranks of the legendary organized crime syndicate, the Chicago Outfit. From whorehouse doorman at the age of 17, to ruthless assassin in his 20's, and the many years that followed covering up crimes for the mafia and crooked cops alike while working as a firefighter/paramedic for the Chicago Fire Department. To finally, moving to the suburbs with his new wife and kids and trying desperately to put it all behind him, until it all came crashing down. We explore in great depth and detail my father’s life of crime and its profound and lasting impact on my family to this very day.

From Tenderfoot TV and iHeartPodcasts, I’m Kyle Tekiela, welcome to CROOK COUNTY.

This podcast is dedicated to the everyday ways we all can impact the world around us to make life better.  Democracy isn't just about governments and elections -- it is about building the kind of society we want to live in with the choices and decisions we make every day.  Democracy includes our family, our jobs, our hobbies, how we shop, what brings joy or pain, how we treat others and how others treat us.  This is the freedom to pursue meaning, quality and purpose in our lives.  "If the people lead, the leaders will follow." - Gandhi.
