Tom B - Dean Corll, the Candyman killer
June 7
Tom B was looking into serial killers when he came across the little known case of Texas lineman Dean Corll - known as the Candyman.
In doing so he has uncovered a massive ring of paedophiles, and a conspiracy which seemed to indicate these people were working together.
It's a horrifying tale of the seedy underbelly of suburbia, namely Houston Heights in Texas, where troubled kids or those who would not be missed were regularly the target of Corll and his co-conspirators.
Tom tells Ed Opperman about the rabbit hole he went down looking into Corll and his associations, and the cold, business like way these children were traded and eventually killed.
At the time of his arrest, Corll was responsible for at least 28 murders, but it is generally agreed his real total was much, much higher.

William Dorsch Returns - Omnipotent: Don't Ask, Don't Tell Part 2
October 27
We expect that criminals will lie but not the police.
Bill Dorsch a retired Chicago homicide detective understood that people when accused of committing crimes, especially in homicide cases, would make conscious decisions to lie when questioned.

He worked hard to gather evidence and testimony from individuals that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrator.
Bill returns to expand his narrative on John Wayne Gacy and other matters, and how, if the Police and Justice services worked as they should, so many more families could gain closure.

Ron Chepesiuk - BAD HENRY - The Murderous Rampage of ‘The Taco Bell Strangler’
September 8
Ron Chepesiuk joins Ed Opperman to discuss one of the most unusual serial killers of our times; Henry Wallace
Henry Louis Wallace terrorized Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 1992 to March 1994.
Wallace preyed on lower economic class Black women between 17 and 35 years old. He knew most of his victims, some through his job at Taco Bell, and gained their trust with his friendly demeanor and gentle nature—concealing a monster fueled by drug abuse and rage against women.
A rarity in that he was an African American serial killer, his murderous rampage spurred controversy throughout the city. Community members accused local police of ignoring the murders because of the victims' race. Wallace attended the funerals of many of his victims and offered condolences to families. The ensuing investigation became the largest in North Carolina’s history.
Wallace was eventually found guilty and convicted of nine counts of murder, but he admitted to more killings while incarcerated; he is potentially responsible for anywhere from 20 to 90 deaths of Black women. Wallace continues to appeal and awaits his execution at Central Prison in Raleigh.

Opperman Live - His name was RICO He wore a Cubic zirconia
September 2
Guess what issue Ed is discussing in this episode. I doubt I need to tell you. But how has Trump managed to cash in on his many transgressions? Is it right to paint yourself as a martyr with your mugshot? Does it make him stronger or damage his campaign? And is Fani Willis wrong, that no matter who you are in America, you are the same in the eyes of the law?
We also remember all those people who have appeared or supported the Opperman Report who are no longer with us. With the passing of Daniel Hopsicker recently, the world is a poorer place.

FROM THE MOB TO THE MOVIES: How I Escaped The Mafia And Landed In Hollywood
The public knows him as the character Tony Darvo in the movie Midnight Run, but Richie Salerno was born into the world of the Brooklyn Mafia during the heyday of the New York mob and for a time it looked like he'd get caught up in a life of crime. After all, some of the most notorious figures in the gangster world he knew as uncles, aunts, cousins and family friends. During a stint in prison for theft, Richie turned his life around using the tailoring skills he learned from his father and butchering abilities he picked up from his father-in-law to ingratiate himself with the warden and guards which got him through one hundred and twenty months without a scratch.
As luck would have it, after his release he scored an audition for a film Serpico directed by Sidney Lumet, best known for "12 Angry Men" and "Dog Day Afternoon." That audition turned into a career of long standing as a character actor in major Hollywood films.
Now, Richie has written a memoir of his journey from the mean streets of Brooklyn and as a child of the mob to the silver screen.

Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies and the Mob - Gianni Russo
Gianni Russo
With a singularly nebulous background, which, by his account, included stints as a Las Vegas nightclub emcee, radio personality and jewelry tycoon, and with comparatively little acting experience, Gianni Russo won the role of Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather (1972) on the basis of his screen test. Since then, Russo has remained busy as an actor, mostly playing assorted "wiseguys" and Mafia types. He appeared again with Marlon Brando in a small role in The Freshman (1990) where Brando parodied his Don Corleone role to good effect.
