Podcasts about double life

In this gripping episode of Gangland Wire, retired intelligence detective Gary Jenkins sits down with author Jonathan Dyer to explore one of the most complex and dangerous figures in Mafia history—Greg Scarpa, the Colombo family enforcer known as The Grim Reaper. Dyer, whose career spans military intelligence, law, and education, brings deep insight into Scarpa's remarkable—and chilling—dual role as both a ruthless mob killer and a prized FBI top echelon informant. Together, Gary and Jonathan unpack the moral ambiguities, betrayals, and calculated violence that defined Scarpa's career in the turbulent world of organized crime. Listeners will hear: How Scarpa balanced loyalty to the mob with his covert cooperation with the FBI.   The structured, almost corporate way his crew operated—and how he enforced discipline with fear and bloodshed. The darker corners of his personal life, including family ties, marriages, and the impact of his choices on his children. The violent episodes, such as the murder of Mary Bari, underscore his brutality and the Mafia's code of protection. From Cold War–era law enforcement collusion to the inner workings of New York's underworld, this episode reveals how Scarpa manipulated both sides of the law to maintain power. Jonathan Dyer's latest book, Greg Scarpa: Legendary Evil, offers the foundation for a conversation that will leave you questioning where law enforcement ends and organized crime begins.

Good to be back here in the studio of [0:03] Gangland Wire. This is Gary Jenkins, an entire Kansas City, Missouri police detective. Worked at the Organized Crime Unit or the Intelligence Unit for many years. And now I've got a podcast and we're all about the organized crime. As you guys know, all you regular guys and for new people, it's all about organized crime, particularly the Italian mafia in the United States. Now, I have an author here today, Jonathan Dyer. And Jonathan, I really am excited about having you on here because you have a different take about a much cussed and discussed subject or person, Gregory the Grim Reaper Scarpa. So welcome, Jonathan. Thanks, Gary. Thanks for having me. So tell the guys a little bit about yourself, a little bit about your background. Where'd you come from other than Marshall? We found out we have similar backgrounds, Marshall, Missouri, rural Missouri, farm life and Kansas City. So tell the guys a little bit about yourself. Well, in 1981, Gary, I joined the Army and spent about a year and a half in Monterey Defense Language Institute learning Russian. [1:10] After that, I went to Goodfellow Air Force Base for some cryptologic training. And then after that, I went to the National Security Agency in Fort Meade for some more training and then shipped overseas to Berlin for three years trying to keep tabs on the Soviet Army during the Cold War. After the Army, I entered law school at UC Davis in California. And after law school, I practiced law for about 10 years as a civil litigator. And then in 1999, I switched careers and became a teacher and taught government and U.S. History and criminal law and retired during the pandemic. And now I live in central Texas. Interesting. [1:52] This is off the subject a little bit, but I've always been curious about that language school.

Want to hear about a specific topic on the show? Text us and we will consider it :)That iconic blue bottle of Dawn dish soap has found its way from kitchen sinks to professional cleaning caddies, but is it really the miracle cleaner some make it out to be? We tackle this surprisingly controversial topic that's been dividing cleaning business owners.Dawn's 50-year history includes becoming famous for wildlife rescue during oil spills, thanks to its special dirt-attracting solvent that revolutionized dishwashing in the 1970s. But professional cleaners need to understand both the power and limitations of this popular product. While affordable and accessible, Dawn isn't pH neutral and can potentially damage certain surfaces when used improperly or leave those dreaded "tiger stripes" if not rinsed properly.We explore where Dawn truly shines - cutting through kitchen grease, pre-treating laundry stains, and exterior window cleaning - while being honest about where it falls short compared to professional-grade, surface-specific products. You'll hear real experiences from cleaning business owners who've incorporated Dawn into their toolkit alongside specialized products like Sal Suds and Longs Donzo degreaser.Whether you're a solo cleaner looking to economize or a business owner training staff on proper chemical usage, this episode provides practical guidance on when to reach for Dawn and when to leave it on the shelf. Remember our golden rule: always test products in your own home before using them in client spaces. The right tools used properly will keep your clients happy and protect your business reputation.Have you found Dawn to be a helpful addition to your cleaning arsenal or do you avoid it?

There is no more shakespearean parable of the tragic rise and fall of the postwar American meritocratic elite than Robert Strange McNamara. War hero, Harvard Business School, head of Ford, begged by JFK to take a role - any role - in Camelot. Then came the equally meteoric fall as JFK and then LBJ's Secretary of Defense - Vietnam and all its death and deceit. With his brother William, Philip Taubman has written about what he calls McNamara's “double life” in his new biography, McNamara At War. In this “new history”, they uncover new documents showing that McNamara was privately telling his aide John McNaughton in April 1966 - just nine months after advocating for massive escalation - that he "wanted to bring the boys home so bad I can hardly stand it." Yet this analytic whiz-kid, a poetry loving smart machine in a grey suit, continued prosecuting this unwinnable war for nearly two more years. The Taubmans suggest, therefore, that the catastrophic American defeat in Vietnam wasn't simply a military failure. It was a defeat of the entire postwar American technocratic meritocracy represented, above all, by the tragic double life of Robert Strange McNamara.1. Institutional Loyalty Can Override Moral Judgment McNamara's "contorted loyalty" to LBJ and the presidency led him to continue prosecuting a war he privately knew was unwinnable. His defense was that cabinet members serve the president, not some "higher calling" - yet the actual oath of office mentions defending the Constitution, not the president.2. Technical Brilliance Doesn't Guarantee Moral Leadership The "whiz kids" represented a new technocratic approach to governance based on data analysis and corporate efficiency. Yet when faced with Vietnam's moral complexities, these analytical skills became tools for prolonging catastrophe rather than preventing it.3. Elite Institutions May Inadequately Prepare Leaders for Ethical Dilemmas McNamara's stellar credentials - Berkeley, Harvard Business School, Ford presidency - represented the pinnacle of American meritocracy. But this system apparently failed to develop his capacity to act on moral conviction when it conflicted with institutional pressure.4. The "Double Life" Problem in High-Stakes Decision Making The gap between McNamara's private knowledge (war unwinnable by late 1965) and public actions (continued escalation through 1968) suggests a psychological split that may be endemic to powerful positions where personal judgment conflicts with role expectations.5. Personal Character Flaws Amplified by Power McNamara's failures weren't limited to Vietnam - his treatment of his dying wife, his emotional manipulation by LBJ, and his suppression of his own moral compass suggest character weaknesses that became magnified and consequential when combined with immense institutional power.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

This is the third sermon of the 4 week sermon series titled "All For His Glory: Living Life For Something Bigger Than Yourself."

What happens when bad choices and "small sins" spiral into life-altering consequences?Martin Onken's raw testimony reveals how a single decision at age 16 to "sin a little" led to decades of deception and a double life that impacted countless people.Born to Dutch-Indonesian parents who survived Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, Martin's childhood was marked by emotional disconnection and a desperate search for love. Finding temporary solace in Catholicism, he developed a relationship with God that provided the affection his family life lacked. But everything changed when teenage Martin convinced himself that balancing sins with good deeds would keep him spiritually "in the black."This distorted thinking created the perfect foundation for addiction and self-deception. From a toxic first relationship to eventually becoming an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while secretly maintaining a 30-year extramarital relationship, Martin shares the painful progression of his choices with unflinching honesty.The most powerful revelation from this first half of Martin's story isn't the depth of his deception, but the persistence of God's love. Despite deliberately turning away from divine guidance and ignoring multiple opportunities to change course, Martin testifies that "Heavenly Father will not give up on you, no matter what you have done."For anyone who feels beyond redemption or trapped by their own choices, Martin's journey offers a glimpse of hope. His testimony stands as both warning about the danger of small compromises and promise that divine love remains constant, even in our darkest moments. Join us next week for the conclusion of Martin's remarkable story of repentance, healing, and finding his way back.*** Please SHARE Martin's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/8IvvCcAoGWc-----To READ Scott's new book “Faith to Stay” for free, visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.#LDSPodcast #ChristianStories #LatterDayLights

A meticulously organized garage with labeled drawers for every type of nail and screw. A quiet family man who never raised his voice. A loyal employee of the family sprinkler business. This was the Jeffrey Gordon that everyone thought they knew – until police discovered what he'd been hiding between his mattress and box spring.When DNA technology finally connected Gordon to the brutal murders of Margaret Eby and Nancy Ludwig, investigators expected to find evidence of his crimes. What they discovered instead was a trophy collection so vast it would take weeks to catalog: approximately 1,200 pieces of women's underwear, many labeled with names, dates, and locations, hidden throughout his home, garage, and even behind his chimney. The man who appeared to be a model husband and father had been living a double life for decades as a voyeur and predator.The search revealed not just physical trophies but homemade videos filmed from hidden cameras in bathrooms, spliced together with movie scenes depicting sexual assault. Gordon had compiled his disturbing obsessions while maintaining his public persona as a quiet chess champion who helped his children with homework and attended church regularly. His own family seemed blind to the red flags – though his brothers privately referred to him as "the panty sniffer," they never reported his concerning behavior.Most troubling were the accounts from neighbors and acquaintances who had encountered Gordon's darker side years earlier. Multiple women reported finding him peeping in windows or discovering him in their homes, but when they informed his family, they were asked not to involve police. Despite previous imprisonment in Florida for similar offenses, Gordon had been protected by a wall of silence that allowed his behavior to escalate to murder.The Jeffrey Gordon case exposes how predators hide in plain sight, and how communities can enable their behavior through denial and silence. Listen as we unravel the investigation that finally brought him to justice and the shocking discoveries that revealed the true extent of his crimes. What other secrets might still be hidden in those meticulously labeled containers?Send us a text Support the show

He tried to end his life three times. What happened next changed everything.  Brad Scot Johnson was once a respected pastor with a global platform. But behind the sermons and stages was a man slowly unraveling - battling addiction, shame, infidelity, and internal collapse. His fall was public. His marriage ended. And his soul was buried in shame. Until one day, he woke up after another suicide attempt and asked: If God wanted me dead… why did He let me live? In this deeply honest conversation, Brad shares the raw truth of what it means to fall hard and rise again - not just to ministry, but to identity, purpose, and divine restoration. This isn't a story about being perfect. It's a story about what God can do when you finally surrender your shame. What you'll learn: How shame keeps you from stepping into your authority Why guilt and shame are not the same and how to heal How to hear from God when you feel unworthy What it means to be “called and crowned” after failure The spiritual and scientific path to becoming whole again Timestamps: (02:36) - Brad's Three Suicide Attempts (09:13) - Living a Double Life as a Pastor (13:29) - The Godly encounter that sparked a spiritual shift (22:30) - The Story of King David: What it really means to be “Called and Crowned” (29:09) - Guilt vs Shame: Which one is keeping you stuck? (33:36) - How to bounce back from shame and let God restore you (43:29) - Brad and Karen's love story (54:17) - How God uses the brain to heal the heart (54:50) The Jungle vs The Highway Metaphor (59:29) - You are not what you did. You are who God says you are.

James Craig's Double Life: How a “Loving Husband” Became a Suspected Killer Description: He was a dentist. A father of six. A man of faith. But prosecutors say James Craig was also a cold, calculated killer — slowly poisoning his wife with cyanide and Visine over multiple days while pretending to be the doting husband. In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to unpack how someone maintains such a convincing public image while allegedly planning a murder behind closed doors. We're not just talking about charm — we're talking about full-scale emotional performance. The curated identity. The public mask. And how someone weaponizes trust so effectively that even their own family doesn't see it coming. We break down how narcissistic personalities use charm and image management to build cover, how compartmentalization works in high-functioning offenders, and what signs families and communities often miss — or ignore. If you've ever wondered how someone can live a lie this big, for this long, without cracking — this episode will walk you through exactly how it happens. #JamesCraig #AngelaCraig #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #NarcissisticAbuse #PsychologicalProfile #SmoothiePoisoning #JamesCraigTrial #EmotionalManipulation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dentist, Dad, Killer? James Craig's Twisted Double Life EXPOSED! Step into the chilling narrative of James Craig, a man who meticulously crafted an image as a pillar of his community—a respected dentist, a loving family man, and a devout churchgoer. Yet, prosecutors are now alleging that this meticulously maintained public mask concealed a sinister, premeditated plot to murder his wife, Angela. This episode delves deep into the psychological phenomenon of identity dissonance, exploring how a defendant's carefully constructed public persona can be weaponized or shattered in the courtroom. As a former prosecutor, Eric Faddis will reveal the nuanced strategies employed to expose a defendant's true intent without resorting to character assassination. We examine the inherent challenge jurors face when confronted with evidence contradicting a defendant's seemingly impeccable background, and how defense attorneys attempt to lean into the "trusted professional" image, even in the face of overwhelming accusations. Can charm, a potent tool in life, be wielded just as effectively to sway a jury? We'll also explore the ethical tightrope prosecutors must walk between compelling storytelling and potentially prejudicial narratives when a defendant's public image is central to their alleged crimes. A crucial piece of evidence, Angela's heart-wrenching text messages, will be analyzed, revealing a mindset of betrayal and heartbreak, starkly devoid of any suicidal ideation, thus challenging the defense's potential claims. The profound emotional contradiction of James Craig allegedly purchasing deadly poisons while simultaneously sending Angela affectionate "I love you" texts will be dissected, questioning how such cold-blooded hypocrisy impacts juror perception. Furthermore, we consider how religious affiliation, particularly within a tight-knit Mormon community, might influence how jurors process allegations of hypocrisy or the alleged motives behind such a heinous act. This deep dive uncovers the complex psychological game played out in the courtroom and the devastating impact of a private murder behind a public mask.

James Craig: The Narcissist Dentist's Deadly Double Life Dive deep into the chilling case of James Craig, the Colorado dentist accused of poisoning his wife, Angela. In this first episode of our "Unmasking the Mind of a Murderer" series, we explore the disturbing psychological persona James Craig presented to the world, contrasting it with the malevolent actions he allegedly committed. Licensed psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Host Tony Brueski of Hidden Killers to dissect the deceptive charm often used by individuals with severe personality disorders. We examine whether Craig's behavior aligns with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, exploring how narcissists leverage charm to disarm suspicion and maintain a perfect facade. Learn about the unsettling ability to compartmentalize a double life, balancing a public image of devotion while allegedly plotting murder. What psychological mechanisms allow high-functioning individuals like Craig to split their lives with zero guilt? This episode also probes the influence of religious environments, such as Craig's LDS/Mormon background, and how such communities might create pressure to maintain a moral mask, potentially fostering deeper repression. We discuss critical early warning signs that might have been missed by those closest to him and how families can inadvertently normalize sociopathic behavior over years of emotional manipulation. Discover the risks of overlooking charm, especially when it comes from respected figures. This isn't just about a murder case; it's an urgent exploration of the mind behind the monster and the hidden dangers of psychological deception. #JamesCraig #TrueCrimePsychology #NarcissisticPersonality #HiddenKillers #PsychologicalProfile #MurderMystery #ForensicPsychology #TrueCrimeCommunity #Deception #Sociopath Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
