Today on Crime & Entertainment, we have an absolutely bonkers tale of former Sandusky County Sheriff, Kyle Overmyer. Overmyer joined law enforcement following in his fathers footsteps and eventually became the youngest elected sheriff in Ohio's history at the age of 34 years old. However, the stress of the job combined with a diagnosis of arthritis led him down a dangerous path of addiction which eventually got the better of Overmyer. Throughout his time as sheriff, he was prescribed more than a 1,000 pills over a two-year period. The investigation into Overmyer began in December 2015 when police chief brought attention to the media that he had stolen drug "take-back boxes" filled with discarded drugs from various police departments in Sandusky County. He ultimately faced a 43-count indictment, including 38 felonies in 2016 while he was running for re-election. He chose to not go to trial and was sentenced to Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima, OH for 4 years. However, since his release he has used his life events as a cautionary tale to warn others of the dangers of addiction. As an individual who has lived on both sides of the law- a sheriff and a recovering addict, he has now found his true passion. This passion includes helping other in recovery, sharing his story as a motivational speaker, and advocating for first responders through KO Addiction, LLC, which is an organization he founded to help others. So, strap in for this amazing roller coaster ride with former Sherriff turned Inmate, Kyle Overmyer.

On Sunday June 18th 2023, OceanGate's Titanic-bound submersible, The Titan, went missing with five people on board. Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman Dawood, and Stockton Rush, the CEO of the tour organizer, OceanGate Expeditions, all unfortunately died in the craft. The world waited for a miracle to happen, as rescue workers worked fiercely around the clock to hopefully locate the missing submersible. Having only approximately 96 hours of air supply was a horrifying thought as the world waited and hoped for a miracle. However, details soon emerged that the Titan Submersible suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” killing everyone on board. According to reports, a remotely operated vehicle found the tail cone of the Titan about 1,600 feet away from the bow of the shipwreck. Now questions are rising concerning the safety measures compromised. Were corners cut while preparing this submersible to reach the depth of roughly 13,000 feet where the Titanic now lies? Titanic Expert, Bill Willard, joins us to discuss what may have actually occurred on board the OceanGate's submersible. So, strap in and let's take a in-depth look into this catastrophic disaster of the Titanic-Bound submersible from OceanGate here on Crime & Entertainment.

Today, on Crime & Entertainment, we present another installment of "Behind the Gangster." On this show, we will deep dive into a particular gangster's life that has been portrayed on-screen. As audience members, we often wonder about the validity of story lines within organized crime movies. Well, "Behind the Gangster" will allow you to get the answers. Today, alongside Anthony Ruggiano Jr. we will give a perspective of the Teflon Don himself John Gotti. John Gotti is one of the most charismatic & polarizing mafia members ever in the history of LA Cosa Nostra. Gotti, alongside his brothers, grew up in poverty and turned to a life of crime at an early age. Gotti quickly became one of the crime family's biggest earners and a protégé of Aniello Dellacroce, the Gambino family underboss, operating out of the neighborhood of Ozone Park in Queens. Gotta would rise through the ranks and become a full made member of the American Mafia. When long time Boss Carlo Gambino passed away many thought the job would go to Underboss Aniello Dellacroce, however the spot was given to Paul Castellano his nephew. The resentment of Gotti plus the fact that his brothers and members of his crew were dealing drugs only fuled the fire that was burning. Aniello died shortly after Paul became boss and FBI's would bring down indictment of members of Gotti's crew for selling narcotics, Gotti began to fear that he and his brother would be killed by Castellano for dealing drugs. As this fear continued to grow, and amidst growing dissent over the leadership of the crime family, Gotti organized the murder of Castellano. At his peak, Gotti was one of the most powerful and dangerous crime bosses in the United States. During his era, he became widely known for his outspoken personality and flamboyant style, which gained him favor with some of the general public. While his peers generally avoided attracting attention, especially from the media, Gotti became known as "The Dapper Don", for his expensive clothes and personality in front of news cameras. He was later given the nickname "The Teflon Don" after three high-profile trials in the 1980s resulted in his acquittal, though it was later revealed that the trials had been tainted by jury tampering, juror misconduct and witness intimidation. Gotti's underboss, Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano, aided the FBI in convicting Gotti; in 1991, Gravano agreed to turn state's evidence and testify against Gotti after hearing the boss make disparaging remarks about him on a wiretap that implicated them both in several murders. In 1992, Gotti was convicted of five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, illegal gambling, extortion, and loansharking. He received life in prison without parole and was transferred to United States Penitentiary, Marion. Gotti died of throat cancer on June 10, 2002 Was John Gotti good for the Mob?

Today, on Crime & Entertainment, we present another installment of "Behind the Gangster." On this show, we will deep dive into a particular gangster's life that has been portrayed on-screen. As audience members, we often wonder about the validity of story lines within organized crime movies. Well, "Behind the Gangster" will allow you to get the answers. Today, alongside Anthony Ruggiano Jr. we will give a perspective of what Big Pual Castellano was like in real life as opposed to how we was portrayed on screen. Paul Castellano was born on June 26th, 1915, and passed away on December 16th , 1985. The brutal Gangland slaying happened right in front of Saprks Steakhouse, where Big Paul was headed for a meeting. Multiple gunmen in trench coats swarmed the car, killing Castellano & his driver Tommy Bilotti almost instantly. Before this brazen assanation, Castellano had recently taken reigns of the Gambino Crime family after its long time Boss, Carlo Gambino passed away. Many expected then Underboss Neil Dellacroce to take over the family at that time. However, when Gambino gave the position to Castellano it sparked immediately turmoil amongst the family. This was especially bad for blue collar street guy John Gotti. Gotti was the opposite of everything Paul liked about LA Cosa Nostra, and towards the end, Paul had plans to take Gotti out after confirming that Gotti & his crew were, in fact dealing heroin. Gotti beat him to the punch, and then he went on to be the boss of the Gambino Family. While Paul's reign as boss was shirt lived, I camt help but wonder if he had not been taken out, with Paul's keen since for business, where would the American mafia be at today.

Today, on Crime & Entertainment, we have Colby Kopp. Colby masterminded a very lucrative drug operation that, at its peak, was making 30 to 40 thousand dollars a day. From April 2020 through February 2021, Colby used darknet marketplaces to conduct an extremely lucrative drug trafficking business. Kopp created, maintained, and controlled darknet marketplace accounts to further the Connecticut-based fentanyl distribution operation. As a darknet marketplace vendor, Kopp and other members of the conspiracy used the moniker “MadHatterPharma” to engage in the sale of cocaine as well as counterfeit pressed pills containing fentanyl that the conspirators pressed themselves and then shipped to customers all over the country.

Today, on Crime & Entertainment, we discuss a clear miscarriage of justice as we dive into the story of Andre Brown. Andre grew up in the Bronx area of NY. In 1999, he was a 22-year-old college student in the borough of Manhattan Community College. During this time, a heated turf war over drugs was running rampant in the city. After the shooting of O'Neill Virgo and Shawn Nicholson by a masked gunman, Andre was sought for questioning, when a woman at a stop light near the crime scene picked Andre out of a line-up. Andre willingly went in for questioning about this attempted murder in the Bronx. He proclaimed his innocence, but none the less, was convicted of the crime and sentenced to 40 years to life in prison. After years of prayer, perseverance, and hard work by Andre and his wife Tamika, they finally found a glimmer of hope despite the years of denial from attorneys. This glimmer of hope was Oscar Michelen, who was then also joined by Jeffrey Deskovic & Sabine Jansen. Together, this legal team put together enough facts for the judge to overturn the conviction due to ineffective council in Andre's original case. While this nightmare is not over for Andre because the Bronx District Attorney's office plans to appeal the case, Andre and his legal team fully believes he will soon be exonerated and free to live a life of freedom. This case is a must-listen about how being wrongly identified can alter the course of one's life forever.

Today on Crime & Entertainment, we present another installment of "Behind the Gangster." On this show, we will deep dive into a particular gangster's life that has been portrayed on-screen. As audience members, we often wonder about the validity of story lines within organized crime movies. Well, "Behind the Gangster" will allow you to get the answers. Today, we sit down with former Gambino family associate, Anthony Ruggiano Jr. Anthony grew up alongside many members of organized crime because his father, "Fat Andy", was a highly respected member of the Gambino's. One of the guys he grew up knowing was Lucchese mobster, Jimmy "the Gent" Burke, whom we will be covering in today's episode. Jimmy Burke was born on July 5, 1931, and passed away April 13, 1996, while serving a 20-year sentence. At the age of two, Burke was placed in a foster home and was exposed to violence and sexual abuse while in the care of dozens of foster parents. After taking a pinch early in his criminal career and keeping his mouth shut, Jimmy shot up the rankings quickly. Burke was of Irish descent, which made him ineligible to become a "made man" in the American mafia, so he was relegated to an associate, under capo Paul Vario. During the 1950s, one of Burke's biggest accomplishments is when he was deemed as the alleged mastermind behind the Lufthansa heist. Along with this heist, he was also involved with the alleged point shaving scandal involving the NCAA Boston College Eagles basketball team. These crimes along with many others makes Burke a perfect fit for "today's episode of "Behind the Gangster."

Jody Plauche’, from Baton Rouge, LA., made national headlines in March of 1984 when he was abducted by his karate teacher, Jeff Doucet. During this awful abduction, Jody was taken 2,000 miles away from his home to Los Angeles, CA. FBI officials were eventually able to rescue Jody and arrest his abductor, Jeff Doucet. After medical exams were performed on Jody, it was determined that he was sexually assaulted by Jeff. After learning this horrible news, Jody's father, Gary Plauche', learned the specifics of when the abductor, Jeff, was going to be brought back to Baton Rouge, LA. Gary strategically placed himself at a bank of payphones and as Jeff and the FBI agents walked by him, he fired a single, shot at point blank range striking Jeff in the head eventually leading to his death the next day. The shooting was captured by WBRZ news crew, a local ABC affiliate. Gary was given a 7-year suspended sentence and was never ordered to serve jail time. To so many, Gary is considered a hero. His son, Jody Plauche', has now written a book titled Why Gary Why? detailing this difficult experience.

Today on Crime & Entertainment, we share the crazy tale of Andrew Thorton & The Cocaine Bear. Thorton grew up in the Kentucky area and after serving briefly in law enforcement, he quickly made the transition into an outlaw. Thorton, along with Bradley Bryant & others, eventually formed a crime syndicate called "The Company." They would smuggle everything from weapons to drugs from South America to the United States. Eventually when the heat came down and over 25 people were arrested, utter chaos ensued. A murder rampage began that included a federal judge and a Florida State Attorney with many others falling victim. Eventually, Thornton would meet his demise during a drug running operation where he would jump from his airplane with multiple weapons, a bullet proof vest, and a duffle bag with 75lb of cocaine strapped to him. This weight however was too heavy, which resulted in his parachute not opening and he subsequently plummeted to his death. However, before he jumped, he threw out multiple bags of cocaine that landed in the Chattahoochee area. Unbelievably, this cocaine was discovered and consumed by a black bear. This is a story you do not want to miss folks.... I guarantee it. Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/crimeandente... Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/crimenenter...
