Harmony was caught in a hell, created by her parents. Mom lost custody due to severe and active drug addiction. Dad was also an addict and never reported his beautiful daughter was missing and likely dead. Adam Montgomery appears to have been abusive to his wife, girlfriend, and even tiny Harmony. She was observed with a black eye and it was said that Adam was responsible. This case is unfolding right now and some details are vague. Harmony went missing sometime in late November-December 2019, but Adam had custody and never reported his daughter missing. Adam has been indicted for the previous assault against Harmony, but it seems like he won't cooperate with the police trying to find his daughter. This case is a walk through the chaotic lives of drug addicts. Tune in for more details!

(Replay) Plymouth Mail Truck Robbery 1962-The equivalent of 13 Million in cash stolen, and never recovered Jun 05, 2022

Show notes

Send a text

In August 1962 the U.S.Postal Service wanted to save money on armored car services. Instead of high security, they had a truck driver and one guard transport money, in mail trucks from Cape Cod post offices, to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston. What could go wrong? It took local criminals about three weeks to rob this truck of millions. The media coverage was intense and the government sent postal inspectors to investigate. Local gangsters were not impressed, deriding them as "Stamp Police". A record breaking reward of $150,000 (1.3 Million today) was presented, but never claimed. The defendants, tied to Rhode Island organized crime were ultimately acquitted at trial. This case remains unsolved and no money was ever recovered.

Mark Rossetti and the Boston FBI-Did you think the FBI's malfeasance ended with Whitey Bulger? Think again May 29, 2022

Did you think the 2002 Congressional investigation regarding the FBI's blatant corruption in Boston was on the level? Did you think the FBI would actually make the changes that the investigation demanded? The sordid story of the FBI's involvement with Boston gangster Mark Rossetti, indicates otherwise. Rossetti's time as an informant stretched from 1991 through 2010. During this time Rossetti was suspected in more than five murders and flooded Boston's streets with heroin. I forgot to mention; Rossetti was a PAID informant, so when you worked overtime back then, you / we were paying Rossetti to sell heroin to our neighbors! Rossetti was caught up in a drug ring and was overheard on State Police wiretaps talking to his FBI handler Agent Michael Buckley, more than forty times. When State Police detectives asked the FBI, if Rossetti was an informant, the FBI lied to the Massachusetts State Police. How does this agency continue? Do you trust the FBI? Tune in, this may change your mind.
