In the 1970s, Kenny “The Kid” Tekiela worked his way up from a teenage doorman at a brothel to a hitman for the Chicago mob. But he left the mafia to become a paramedic, get married, and have children. It was a life he kept from his family for decades, until Kenny's drug addiction forced him to reveal his past deeds. Years later, his son asked him to finally open up about his past for a podcast. Mixed in with his grandiose tales of mob life, Kenny confessed to struggling with guilt and regret for the things he'd done. In the podcast “Crook County” from iHeartRadio and Tenderfoot TV, host Kyle Tekiela reconnects with his estranged father to learn about the life he never knew. Along the way, Kyle tries to reconcile the loving dad he remembered with the enforcer who committed violence for the Chicago Outfit and covered up crimes for dirty cops.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "CROOK COUNTY" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: family connection.

In 1882, a land dispute escalated to violence — and then led to a lynch mob taking justice into its own hands. For two years afterward, the members of that lynch mob stayed active, forming a shadow government in the Prineville area enforced by masked riders with drawn guns and ready ropes ... and for a year or two, Prineville was the murder capital of Oregon. This is the story of how that happened ... and how the Vigilantes were defeated. (Prineville, Crook County; 1880s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2408c-1211d.prineville-vigilantes-663.199.html)

Husband-and-wife writing and directing team Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapill met while working in local television news. Despite being at competitive stations, they both despised local television news and wanted to find a more creative path to “visual storytelling” where they weren't “forced to tell a story in 30 seconds.” Together, the couple has credits for documentaries like The Elephant Bath, The Gambling Man, Lifecasters, and features such as Beneath the Harvest Sky, Queenpins, and an upcoming film called Crook County. Their current project, Queenpins, follows a pair of housewives who create a $40 million coupon scam. The surprisingly true story stars Kristen Bell, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Vince Vaughn, and Paul Walter Hauser. In this interview, the duo talks about their discovery process, feeling undervalued in the industry, how they conduct research as former journalists, advice on breaking in, and why every finished script is an asset to your career.

I have more outrageous audio from Johnson County tax advocates. I discuss the crook of Crook County--they're treasurer and we take another look at Banner Healthcare's demand that all employees be vaccinated. It is a major conundrum for our state and I tell you why.
On April 20, 2021, Derek Chauvin was found guilty in the death of George Floyd. But despite the overwhelming evidence -- including the infamous video of him kneeling on George Floyd’s neck for more than 9 minutes -- that verdict was hardly a foregone conclusion. On this episode Sarah talks with Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve, associate professor of sociology at Brown, about why convicting police officers of crimes in the U.S. is so incredibly rare. Her 2016 book, “Crook County,” explores this question, and paints a picture of the overlapping forces that keep justice from being served when it’s directed at the police themselves.

Shorty Davis was a wealthy self-made sheep rancher in Crook County, Oregon. He disappeared mysteriously in August of 1900. Many have looked for him but nobody has managed to claim the $1000 reward for his body over the past 120 years. The suspicion falls on a group of vigilantes known as the "Sheepshooters". Only new evidence could lead to the conclusion of this old west mystery.
2014 - Homeless in Crook County Oregon Ever Wonder What It's Like? Somehow the message that the economy was improving never made it to the homeless population in Crook County. Numbers are increasing and services can't keep up with the need. Bill talks with two people in Prineville Oregon about how they came to be homeless, what it's like to live on the street, what challenges they have on a daily basis, and what resources they have tapped to help them get out of the cycle of homelessness, drug addiction, and jail. Listen to this podcast now (8:41 total time) and learn what it's like to be homeless in a rural community in Central Oregon.
For decades someone or someones or SOMETHING has been killing cows in remote parts of central and eastern Oregon. The bodies are found mutilated, some of their organs having been surgically removed, and drained of blood. Investigators have ruled out shooting, stabbing, strangulation, animal attack, and even lightening strike as potential causes of death. The locations of the killings require extensive off-road travel to reach yet no tracks have been found. Theories range from clandestine cult ritual to alien research to just some weirdo. There are no leads and the killings continue. I’ve been fascinated by the cow killings since I first read about them a few years ago. I was born and spent parts of my childhood in Eastern Oregon, and the personal connection combined with the bizarreness of the crime have given the mystery a permanent home in my mind. I can imagine walking through Ponderosa Pines to the top of a ridge, taking a deep breath of the clean desert dry air that carries sage and juniper, and realizing the only other person within a hundred miles might be a guy that’s spent decades stealthily killing cows and removing their udders. In the audio episode I talk with my wife Shelly, a life-long true crime fan and self-described “murder connoisseur.” We review the evidence, explore theories, and outline a plan to finally crack the case.Sources:“Another Mutilated Cow In Central Oregon Rattles Ranchers”“‘Not one Drop Of Blood’: Cattle Mysteriously Mutilated In Oregon”“Investigators perplexed by death, mutilation of cow”“Crook County steps up rural patrols after several cattle deaths, possible metalations” This is a public episode.

Shorty Davis was a popular sheepman who one day in 1900 disappeared ... and no one has ever seen a sign of him since. Virtually everyone suspects foul play.

In Crook County, the early 1880s were like something out of a Louis L'Amour novel: Masked riders galloping around by night, dispensing what they saw as justice. It all started with the lynching of an innocent man.

In recent years, policymakers, activists, and the mainstream media have given increased attention to racial disparities within the criminal justice system. However, some skeptics have raised questions about whether statistics highlighting racial disparities are a result of racism or some other cause. Today, we provide insight into the role of race, racism, and discrimination in shaping legal outcomes by interviewing Dr. Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve, an Associate Professor at The University of Delaware in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice. Her research explores the contradictory ways that racial stigma is reproduced by the criminal justice system in a purportedly, “colorblind” era. We’ll discuss fieldwork related to her book, Crook County (22:20), how racism plays out in everyday legal practices (31:52), how prosecutors and public defenders perpetuate racial injustice (37:30), and how the relationship between law enforcement and prosecutors shapes the outcomes of police brutality cases (43:15). We close by discussing how we can address racism within the court system (51:51) and Dr. Van Cleve’s upcoming work (58:38).

Pastor Rory continues with part 2 of his series on fasting, as we kick off our week of fasting and prayer at Calvary Chapel of Crook County.
In the beginnings of the church in the book of Acts, one thing that was unquestionably present was the power of prayer. The disciples and all believers were in constant prayer. They were empowered by the Spirit of God through constantly seeking the Lord in prayer; asking for His power. In his sermon, Pastor Rory Rodgers shares his vision for life-changing prayer among the body of Calvary Chapel of Crook County.
In his final message to the congregation at Calvary Chapel of Crook County, Pastor Ryan Couch teaches from Acts chapter 20, where Paul bids farewell to the Ephesian elders before going to Rome.

As the second to the last Sunday with Pastor Ryan Couch as the lead pastor of Calvary Chapel of Crook County, Pastor Ryan uses the opportunity to preach from Nehemiah chapter 1. In Nehemiah 1, we find a Jewish man named Nehemiah having a heavy burden on his heart for the city of Jerusalem after receiving a report of the condition of the city at that time. He discovers that the walls are destroyed, the gates have been burned, and the people suffer greatly and are afraid. It is at this point that Nehemiah begins to seek the Lord through prayer, fasting, repentance, supplication, and remembering God's promises.
