Matt Birkbeck - The Life We Chose4 days ago“The Life We Chose—an unforgettable story. A really great read.” —Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy and Casino and screenwriter of GoodfellasFrom Matt Birkbeck—investigative journalist and executive producer of Netflix's #1 movie Girl in the Picture—a revelatory father/surrogate son story that takes readers deep inside the inner workings of the mob through the eyes of William “Big Billy” D'Elia, the right-hand man to legendary mafia kingpin Russell Bufalino, who ran organized crime in the US for more than fifty years.William “Big Billy” D'Elia is Mafia royalty.The “adopted” son of legendary organized crime boss Russell Bufalino, for decades D'Elia had unequaled access to the man the FBI and US Justice Department considered one of the leading organized crime figures in the United States. But the government had no real idea as to the breadth of Bufalino's power and influence—or that it was Bufalino, from his bucolic home base in Pittston, Pennsylvania, who reigned over the five families in New York and other organized crime families throughout the country.For nearly thirty years, D'Elia was at Bufalino's side, and “Russ's son” was a witness and participant to major historical events that have stymied law enforcement, perplexed journalists, and produced false and wild narratives in books and movies—not the least of which being the infamous disappearance of union boss Jimmy Hoffa. In addition, their reach was illustrated by their relationships with Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson, Suge Knight, and many other celebrities and personalities.D'Elia became the de facto leader of the Bufalino family upon Russell Bufalino's imprisonment in 1979, and he officially took control upon Bufalino's death in 1994 until his arrest in 2006, when he was charged with money laundering and the attempted murder of a witness. He pled guilty to money laundering and witness tampering and was released from federal prison in 2012.Candid and unapologetic, D'Elia is finally ready to reveal the real story behind the myths and in so doing paints a complicated, compelling, and stunning portrait of crime, power, money, and finally, family.

As explained in the title of this episode, this case is a maze, and its a tricky one. I have never come across so many dead ends, shocks, or lies as I have in this case. Here we cover the story behind Netflix's 2022 documentary 'Girl In The Picture'. This case was based on two books by Matt Birkbeck. He wrote 'A Beautiful Child' & 'Finding Sharon'. Matt's dedication to this story aided police in finding the true identity of a woman who never knew who she was or where she came from. Suzanne Sevakis and Michael Hughes were under the wing of a sick and depraved fugitive. Franklin Floyd was a con artist, a manipulator, and pure evil. Step into this deep dive with us to learn about Suzanne's life, as we dissect where she came from and the tortured life she had to live.  Social Instagram @truecrimeexpod Tiktok @truecrimeexposedpodcast Twitter @truecrimexposed www.truecrimeexposedpodcast.com Sources: Book: "A Beautiful Child" by Matt Birkbeck Book: "Finding Sharon" by Matt Birkbeck Documentary: Netflix's "Girl In The Picture" Organization: www.actionagainstabduction.org

Kathy McCormack Durst disappeared in January of 1982 – 40 years ago. From the time she vanished the focus has been on her husband at the time, Robert Durst. A man born into enormous wealth who grew up to become one of the most infamous killers this country has ever seen. Four decades after his first wife vanished, Durst was finally set to stand trial for her murder, but he died in prison. The Tape Room takes a closer look at the case with author Matt Birkbeck who believes there may be more victims out there.

In his international bestseller A Beautiful Child, award winning investigative journalist Matt Birkbeck told the heartbreaking story of a brilliant and beautiful young woman known as Sharon Marshall.Caught in the murderous web of the monster she called her father, Sharon wasn't her real name. But her horrifying story captured the hearts of readers everywhere and lead to a ten-year search to resolve two great mysteries – what was her true identity, and what became of her young son Michael, who was kidnapped from his first grade classroom and never seen again.The worldwide interest in Sharon's story prompted the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to open a new case file enlisting the FBI – and with A Beautiful Child as a roadmap, two FBI agents set their sights on death row interviews with Sharon's tormentor to learn the shocking truth.Equal parts memoir and narrative journalism, Finding Sharon picks up where A Beautiful Child left off and brings to a close one of the greatest mysteries in the annals of law enforcement – and a miraculous ending that will leave you in tears.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

We've created a members-only destination for Fox News' most passionate and loyal fans featuring exclusive content, exclusive experiences and exclusive access. In this episode you'll hear from Matt Birkbeck, an award-winning investigative journalist and author, who was a reporter for The Morning Call in northeastern Pennsylvania, which gave him a ring-side seat to the Bufalino crime family. He wrote the book about its boss, called "The Quiet Don: The Untold Story of Mafia Kingpin Russell Bufalino."

Secretive—even reclusive—Russell Bufalino quietly built his organized crime empire in the decades between Prohibition and the Carter presidency. His reach extended far beyond the coal country of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and quaint Amish farms near Lancaster. Bufalino had a hand in global, national, and local politics of the largest American cities, many of its major industries, and controlled the powerful Teamsters Union. His influence also reached the highest levels of Pennsylvania government and halls of Congress, and his legacy left a culture of corruption that continues to this day.
 
A uniquely American saga that spans six decades, The Quiet Don follows Russell Bufalino’s remarkably quiet ascent from Sicilian immigrant to mob soldier to a man described by a United States Senate subcommittee in 1964 as “one of the most ruthless and powerful leaders of the Mafia in the United States.” Matt Birkbeck is an award winning investigative journalist and author of “A Deadly Secret: The Strange Disappearance of Kathie Durst.” His work has appeared in Reader's Digest, People magazine, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, among others.
