Chuck Morgan: Mystery, Murder and Maybe the Mob.

March 22, 1977. Tucson, Arizona. Thirty-nine-year-old escrow company owner Charles “Chuck” Morgan leaves home to take his daughters to school—and disappears. Three days later, Chuck returns in the middle of the night with his hands bound, one ankle restrained, and a shoe missing. Unable or unwilling to speak, he communicates with his wife through handwritten notes. He claims he was kidnapped, tortured, and exposed to a hallucinogenic substance—and warns her that contacting the police could put the entire family in danger. Then Chuck disappears again. Eleven days later, his body is discovered in the Arizona desert, approximately 40 miles from Tucson. He is wearing a bulletproof vest and has been shot in the back of the head with his own gun. Although Chuck was right-handed, the weapon is found near his left hand—and investigators recover no identifiable fingerprints from it. Inside his clothing is one of the case’s strangest clues: a $2 bill covered with handwritten names, numbers, and symbols, with a map drawn on the back. His car contains weapons, ammunition, radios, and other unexplained items. An anonymous woman later calls authorities claiming there had been a contract on Chuck’s life. Chuck reportedly possessed information connected to questionable financial transactions and had provided testimony in a state banking investigation. Was he involved in laundering money for organized crime, secretly cooperating with authorities, or attempting to expose something dangerous? Police believed Chuck may have taken his own life, but the county medical examiner would not confirm suicide and classified the manner of death as undetermined. Decades later, the bizarre clues surrounding his final days remain unresolved. Was Chuck Morgan a frightened man constructing an elaborate deception—or was he silenced because he knew too much? This is the bewildering true story of Charles “Chuck” Morgan: The Man Who Knew Too Much. sources used for this podcast Support the show JOIN THE  HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWS START KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREE Send Kris and Rob a Message H2H WEBSITE H2H on TWITTER H2H on INSTA     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
