**Timecodes below**New episodes will now be every Friday HighdayThis week, Stand-up comedians & Squishy Logic boys Kd Hinken and Nathan Parish are focusing on the story of the Shotgun Man; Tony Kiritsis & the 63 hour crime that made him infamous.On Tuesday 8th February, 1977, Tony Kiritsis marched into his mortgage brokers office (Richard Hall) after Hall refused Tony extra time to pay his mortgage. Tony then looped a fishing wire tightly around Halls neck and then attached the wire to his modified, sawn-off shotgun Necklace trap (and attached the other part to himself.) Now he was able to lead Hall around by the Shotgun attached to Halls neck and if Hall tried to run away, or if Tony is hurt and falls to the floor then the shotgun goes off...along with Halls head. (Link to images bottom of description)This started a 63 hour ordeal that lead from Halls office, down the streets of Indianapolis, to Tonys booby trapped apartment via a stolen police car. The situation almost ends quickly when Mr Psycho Shotgun Man accidentally falls over while walking, the only reason Halls brain didn't end up splattered all over the pavement was because he used it and squatted down as soon as he fell, stopping the booby trapped shotgun from going off. Tony had even planned this to the point that his house was a identical recreation of Halls office that he took him from. This story truly has everything, including it all ending with a ridiculous court case and verdict... and its in no way what your thinking.Plus they talk about a bunch more random bullsh*t, you can check some of it out below:00:00 - Cold Open01:04 - Awesome Intro Music01:34 - Kd is blind and deaf in one ear right now04:30 - Six Senses?

Anthony "Tony" G. Kiritsis (August 13, 1932 – January 28, 2005) was an American kidnapper.Kiritsis was a resident of Indianapolis, Indiana, and had fallen behind on mortgage payments for a piece of real estate. In early February 1977, when his mortgage broker Richard O. Hall refused to give him additional time to pay, Kiritsis became convinced that Hall and Hall's father wanted the property. The property's value had increased and could be sold at a high profit. Hall claimed that he had proof of this in writing.

One of my favorite interviews since starting the “Leaders and Legends” podcast featured Richard Hall; a kidnap victim of Tony Kiritsis in 1977, Hall detailed not only that harrowing experience, but also his life after being thrust into the media spotlight. Richard Hall died on May 20, 2022, & we are re-posting our conversation with him in tribute to his courage and perseverance.

On February 8, 1977, 43-year-old Tony Kiritsis walked into the office of mortgage broker Dick Hall and WIRED THE BARREL OF A SAWED OFF SHOT GUN TO HALL’S NECK. This "dead man's line" meant that if a policeman shot Kiritsis the shotgun would go off and shoot Hall in the head. The same would happen if Hall tried to escape. Kiritsis called the police from Hall's office and told them that he had taken Hall as a hostage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostage) . Through archival footage and interviews with people who were there, we watch first-hand the terror of this 3-day standoff between Kiritsis and cops. LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

It all started with a friend request. Amanda Playle was flattered to see the Facebook request come in from her old high school boyfriend, Anthony Reynolds. The two hadn’t spoken for a while, but they quickly reconnected. They talked about their lives. So much had changed since their high school days. Amanda was married to her husband Paul. She’d become a mother. Over time, she admitted to Anthony that her marriage wasn’t perfect. But when Anthony pressed her to meet up, she declined. She didn’t want to cross a line. But Anthony refused to take no for an answer. Soon, he began stalking and harassing her. Then Kristin tells us about a man who fell behind on his mortgage payments. Tony Kiritsis planned to turn his real estate into a shopping center, but after falling behind on his payments a few too many times, he found himself under the threat of foreclosure. He was livid, but didn’t blame himself. He blamed Meridian Mortgage. So he showed up at their offices one winter morning with a sawed off shotgun and took mortgage broker Dick Hall hostage. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: The documentary “Dead Man’s Line” Deadmansline.com “Tony Kiritsis” entry on Wikipedia “Kin testify Kiritsis held sister hostage in 1969,” by Carolyun Colwell for The Courier-Journal “Kiritsis jury ‘far from a decision,’” by Kristie Hill for the Associated Press In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Stalker Inside My House” episode BBC Outlook “Amanda was terrorised by a stalker for two years. Then she learned her husband was to blame.” by Jessica Clark, mamamia.com “Man jailed for stalking wife by impersonating ex-boyfriend” by Damien Gayle, The Guardian “Bexhill stalking victim speaks out and urges others to seek help” by Isabelle Cipirska, The Bexhill-On-Sea Observer “SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY Mum-of-three terrorised by stalker for two years horrified to discover it was her own HUSBAND” by Carl Stroud, The Sun “'Calculating and cruel' husband, 43, set up fake Facebook accounts to pose as his wife's EX-boyfriend to threaten her and quiz her over past sex life is jailed for more than three years” by Thomas Burrows, The Daily Mail
On a very cold day in February 1977 Tony Kiritsis paraded Dick Hall down the streets of Indianapolis with a shotgun aimed at the back of his skull. And the man who captured the truly first of its kind moment, was Jack Parker, News photographer for Channel 4.

The 40th Anniversary of the Tony Kiritsis hostage incident that captured national headlines and changed live news coverage. Guests are documentary producers Alan Berry and Mark Enochs, in-studio; long-time Indianapolis anchorman Tom Cochrun and former WTTV/WISH TV photographer Jack Parker, remotely.
Forty years ago (1977) in downtown Indianapolis, Tony Kiritsis went to the fourth floor of 129 E. Market Street - his left arm was in a blue string, and carrying a department shoe box and blueprints in his right. It wasn't strange for the director of Meridian Mortgage, Richard Hall, to see Kiritsis sitting in the lobby of his office when he arrived after 8 a.m. Kiritsis would regularly show up to discuss his plans for a strip mall on the west side of Indianapolis. But this morning was different. Richard Hall invited Kiritsis into his office and for the next 63 hours, Kiritsis held a sawed-off shotgun to Hall's head with a dead man's line wired to the trigger. Alan Berry and Mark Enochs are Indianapolis filmmakers who have spent the last four years putting together a true-crime documentary about this importance piece of Indianapolis history. They have interviewed over 40 people - news reporters, police officers, lawyers, jury members, family, & friends - to help make this film. We had Alan and Mark on the podcast to talk about this crazy story and how it changed policing, news reporting, and even state law. The footage of the event is absolutely remarkable and to have all of this film available later in 2017 will truly be a remarkable piece of Indianapolis History.
