Episode 121 is the seventh episode of a series of quasi history lessons and Part 6 of a series covering the history of the Mafia. In part 6, we cover the last leg of the story of the Great Awakening. The story of the government and the public finally recognizing and acknowledging the existence of a national crime syndicate. Episode 121 covers the infamous Joe Valachi and the Joe Valachi hearings. A story that was dubbed as one of the two greatest intelligence coups in the history of the fight against the Mafia in this country up to that time. This series is a prelude to what comes next, as we begin to explore the forces that were shaping the world in that era of the twentieth century. History that will eventually tie in to the Cuban story whose politics, geography, and economic circumstances would all collide and create an epicenter of geopolitical consequences.

Complex cases without an eyewitness that can actually identify the shooter make the forensic and circumstantial evidence that much more important. Ironically, problems abound with much of the evidence in this case. Evidence that is complex, incomplete and sometimes conflicting.

Episode 114 A Shot At General Walker Part 2 Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

Episode 114 is the second and last of a two episode miniseries covering the attempted murder of General Edwin Walker in Dallas on April 10, 1963. It was learned after the assassination of JFK, that Lee Harvey Oswald was the likely perpetrator of the attempt on Walker's life, based on evidence found at Ruth Paine's home and testimony provided by Oswald's wife after Oswald was murdered.

The Warren commission identified this attempt on Walker's life by Oswald to be one of five stated factors that formed the possible motive for why Oswald killed the president, citing this as a prior act of violence where he demonstrated the willingness to attempt to murder a political figure using a a rifle.
