Frank Matthews: Drug Kingpin Vanishes with $15 Million! Details Saturday!

Listen Live Saturday 2pm PT/5pm ET/ 10PM London via OUTLAW RADIO

More powerful than the Mafia. He was the biggest drug dealer in America. In 1973 he jumped bail and disappeared with 15 million dollars. He has never been seen again. Nearly four decades later, the fate of Frank Matthews remains a complete mystery. It s as if Matthews dropped off the face of the earth, explained Mike Pizzi, a retired U.S. Marshal who was involved with the hunt for Matthews, the fugitive, for several years. The one hour and 23 minute documentary features rare archival footage, interviews with numerous sources who previously haven t talked on camera about Frank Matthews and never before seen photos of Matthews. The documentary explores several intriguing questions: how was Matthews been able to operate for several years without being detected? What was his relationship with La Cosa Nostra? Why did the CIA get involved in the Matthews investigation? Why has the mystery of his disappearance been so difficult to solve? Born in 1944 in Durham, North Carolina, Matthews left his hometown when he was a teenager, going first to Philadelphia and then to New York City. By the early 1970 s, Frank Matthews had become America's biggest drug kingpin. His organization, headquartered in Brooklyn, stretched across more than 20 states, and he became the only Black gangster to establish direct ties to the French Connection heroin pipeline. To quote a federal prosecutor assigned to the Matthews case, Matthews was a pioneering giant of drug distribution." Matthews organization eventually outgrew even the Italian Mafia, and when he built himself a mansion in Staten Island's most exclusive neighborhood (and across the street from mobsters Paul Castellano and Three Finger Brown), he found himself on the verge of a war with La Cosa Nostra. Matthews also battled militant Black Muslims for control in the streets of New Jersey and Philadelphia as he built his empire. The $15 to 20 million dollars he disappeared with is roughly equivalent to $100 million in today's cash. What happened to Frank Matthews? That s the most intriguing question in organized crime history, said Chepesiuk, who has spent five years researching the Frank Matthews story. Despite one of the largest manhunts in US history, there is no proof as to whether he is alive or dead.

Ron Chepesiuk wil reveal all this Saturday, including how to pronounce his last name when he join s Burl Barer, Howard Lapides and Mark Boyer on True Crime Uncensored!!

Cemetery John: The Undiscovered Mastermind Behind the Lindbergh Kidnapping

Listen Live via OUTLAW RADIO  Saturday 2pm PT/5pm ET/ 10pm London

 

For seventy-five years, the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's infant son has gone unsolved. Evidence, opinion, and logic have discredited the notion that Bruno Richard Hauptmann --electrocuted in 1936 --acted alone. In this meticulous and authoritative account of the crime, the trial, and the times of the Lindbergh kidnapping, Robert Zorn clears away decades of ungrounded speculation surrounding the case. Inspired by his father's relationship with the actual accomplices --including the mastermind --he presents the clearest ever picture of a criminal partnership, which would shake every class and culture of American society. Using personal possessions and documents, never-before seen photographs, new forensic evidence, and extensive research, Robert Zorn has written a shocking and captivating account of the crime and the original "Trial of the Century."

From the ecstatic riots that followed the Spirit of St. Louis on either side of the Atlantic, to the tragic night that would shake America's sense of security, to the horror of the New Jersey morgue where Lindbergh insisted on verifying the identity of his son, Zorn's skillful treatment meets this larger-than-life story and gives it definitive shape --revealing the true story behind the crime, for the first time.

BRAND-NEW EVIDENCE IN THE 1932 LINDBERGH KIDNAPPING: CASE CLOSED

On a summer day in 1931, at an amusement park in New Jersey, Gene Zorn, a fifteen-year-old boy from the Bronx, unwittingly witnesses two German immigrant neighbors of his conspiring with a man named “Bruno” to kidnap the infant son of world famous aviator Charles Lindbergh. Thirty-two years later, in his barbershop, Zorn happens across an article about the Lindbergh kidnapping—and finally grasps the enormity of what he had seen and heard that day long ago.

After his father’s death in 2006, Robert Zorn embarks on a research odyssey in search of clues that will unlock the mystery behind the “Crime of the Century.” Aided by legendary FBI profilers, geographic profilers, optical handwriting recognition experts, researchers of psychopathic personality, and members of the long-deceased mastermind’s own family, Robert uncovers compelling evidence that points squarely in the direction of his father’s former Bronx neighbor as the kidnapper who had lusted after the opportunity to show the world that he was as powerful and great as Lindbergh.

Join Burl Barer, Howard Lapides and Mark Boyer as they welcome Robert Zorn to True Crime Uncensored.
