Ken Tekiela was a celebrated Chicago firefighter and a loving father of two who led a secret double life as a hitman for the Chicago mafia. Is it even possible to keep a life of crime hidden from your wife and kids for two decades? Yes, it is. I know because Ken is my father. In 2013, after a lifetime of deception, he broke down and told me everything, and our whole world changed… CROOK COUNTY is the shocking true-crime podcast about my father's rise through the ranks of the legendary organized crime syndicate, the Chicago Outfit. From whorehouse doorman at the age of 17, to ruthless assassin in his 20's, and the many years that followed covering up crimes for the mafia and crooked cops alike while working as a firefighter/paramedic for the Chicago Fire Department. To finally, moving to the suburbs with his new wife and kids and trying desperately to put it all behind him, until it all came crashing down. We explore in great depth and detail my father’s life of crime and its profound and lasting impact on my family to this very day.

Too many commercials. Some were as long as five minutes. Not typical of Payne Lindsey‘s productions.
Not totally convinced

A moving series with great story telling, but it was plagued by a lack of corroboration throughout. Withholding names makes sense, but too often it seemed the host was just taking people at their word without any fact checking. The car chase story for example: was there any newspaper account to support Ken’s claim of a fiery accident that ended a man’s life?

Sounds like a regular guy when interviews others but sounds like Batman when he gets alone with a microphone. Sexy Payne Lyndsey has done it again, another masterpiece!
Interesting
