"What Murdahhhh??" - John Gotti

On this episode of Wife of Crime I am telling Russ all about the rise and fall of the most well known mafia boss of our generation, John Gotti. I also tell you guys about what got me so interested in the mafia and why they are some of my favorite cases to research! John Gotti's story is full of drama. He was all over the media in the 80s and 90s and he absolutely loved the attention. The media dubbed him "The Dapper Don", he was a cold blooded killer in a $2000 suit. Unfortunately, like most megalomaniacs the fall from the top comes swift and hard. In a world that prides itself on loyalty John Gotti's disloyalty to his closest ally would lead to his own undoing as well as the fall of the entire Gambino crime family. Moral of the story...
