My grandpa was a Chicago cop and eventually detective. Heard a lot of crazy stories about him taking down mobsters and even have old newspaper clippings of him standing around dead bodies and criminals in his long beige trench coat lol Super cool & always loved hearing about it. Absolutely great interview!

I respect mobsters more than politicians. With the mob, you know what you’re getting. Al Capone bought my grandfather, who sold airplanes, dinner once. That’s more than any politician ever did for him.

I been over there on Taylor st with the Italians at the cigar shop, I been over there on western where he is talking about the Spanish gangsters. Chicago is like being in a movie. It’s a oldschool street gang city even to this day. And there is no signs of it stopping anytime soon. Vicious cycle.

They bought a place in Escanaba Michigan, Hereford and Hops in 1992 smh it just sold, yet the woman on the city council who told the whole city that she just sold it in 2024 did not own it. Al Capone had a mansion in Escanaba and they shared a tunnel, which is now closed. Rebecca Moody just sold it. Not Karen Moore. The secrets kept in Chicago are now kept in Da U.P. of Michigan, also known as God's Country. 🚩🇺🇲

There's something I don't understand. If this man is in witness protection, presumably it's because he's in danger and there are people interested in knowing his whereabouts. "Undisclosed location" doesn't seem useful since you, Mark, know where that is. What would prevent those interested parties from trying to get the information from you?

Hmm.. "The following August, Manning was arrested and placed in the Cook County Jail, where he was assigned to a cell with one Thomas Dye, a notorious con man and jailhouse snitch with a long criminal record, including 10 felony convictions, dating to 1978. Dye had recently been sentenced to 14 years in prison for residential burglary and was awaiting trial in three other felony cases. Dye soon contacted prosecutors and told them that Manning had confessed to the Pellegrino murder. Dye was a known liar and perjurer, so his claim carried little credibility."
