About this episode
The episode discusses the recent takedown of drug dealer Richard Leidy in connection with the cold case murder of Gino Marconi, exploring the implications and unanswered questions surrounding organized crime in Philadelphia.
A Blast From The Past: The FBI and Philadelphia’s Cold Case Homicide Detectives sent shock waves across the city with the takedown last week of drug dealer Richard Leidy in the previously unsolved assassination of rival drug dealer Gino Marconi in April 1999. The 26 year old gangland style killing rocked South Philly and is one of half a dozen cold case murders federal organized crime investigators and homicide detectives have been working on for years. Lots of questions remain unanswered. What was the motive? Is this connected to organized crime? Who else might have been involved in the well planned hit and what will a new grand jury probing the case turn up in the coming weeks. Mob expert and author George Anastasia joins the show once again to help break it all down.
