In this episode, 19 News investigator Kelly Kennedy dives into part two of the story of Danny Greene, the notorious Irish-American gangster who ignited a brutal turf war with the Mayfield Road Mob. Journey back to when Cleveland was "Bomb City, USA" and discover how the death of the city's last don and one fearless Irish mobster helped topple Italian organized crime in America.

Danny Greene wasn't just any mobster. The Cleveland union president-turned-gangster was a force of nature; a wild card in the deck of organized crime, blurring the lines between hero and villain, with a reputation that grew as fast as the explosions he left in his wake. Despite surviving several assassination attempts, Green was ultimately killed in a car bombing in 1977 during a time when Cleveland was known as "Bomb City, USA." In this episode, 19 News investigator Kelly Kennedy kicks off our mob series with the thrilling tale of the infamous Irishman who took down the Italian mafia in a way he never intended.

In this installment of the audio book series titled "Amarillo in Peril, Part 2," we delve into the intricacies of the unjust trial that led to Johnny Frank Garrett's wrongful conviction

This week's episode marks the first installment in a three-part series of our local true crime audio book styled series titled "Amarillo in Peril." We are committed to bringing you all more intriguing local true crime stories in the future, so stay tuned! In this particular episode, our focus is on Johnny Frank Garrett, who was accused of the murder of a Catholic nun residing just across the street from him.The tragic event unfolded on the morning of October 31, 1981, when Garrett was merely 17 years old, coincidentally the age of criminal responsibility in Texas. According to the prosecution's narrative, on that fateful morning, Garrett allegedly committed the act of murder against 76-year-old Sister Tadea Benz within the confines of St. Francis Convent. Shortly thereafter, on November 9, 1981, Garrett, a neighbor of the convent, was apprehended and formally charged with murder.This episode also examines the interconnected case of Jay Kelly Pinkerton, which has intriguing ties to the Johnny Frank Garrett case. Both of these incidents occurred during the Halloween seasons of 1979 and 1981, with the nun's tragic murder taking place on Halloween night in 1981. The profound impact of these cases cast a lingering shadow over the Amarillo Police Department and significantly influenced the way homicide detectives approached their work in the years that followed. Notably, the establishment of the Special Crimes Unit can be traced, in part, to the profound effect these horrific murders had on the community.

Amarillo, Texas is known to many as “Bomb City” because it's home to the Pantex nuclear weapons facility. In the 90's, Amarillo was filled with lots of country-folk and bible-belt families, but there also existed a subculture that the town worked hard to keep hidden. Just before Christmas in 1997, the veritable civil-war between the youth of these two groups came to an explosive head. This time, not everyone would be making it out alive.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5863198/advertisement

Brian Deneke was a 19-year old kid in Amarillo, TX who was involved in the punk scene. Dustin Camp was a 17-year old kid in Amarillo TX who was a football player. These 2 worlds collided explosively on December 12, 1997. After a night of heavy drinking, Dustin deliberately ran Brian over with his car, left him to die, and went home to sleep. Dustin was arrested and the trial split a town in two. One side with Brian and the punks, and one with Dustin and the jocks. Unfortunately in this case, nobody wins.
