A fellow podcast listeners. My name is Kyle Tequila. If you enjoy diving into true crime stories like the incredible Monster series with Payne Lindsay, then I think you'll enjoy Crook County, my new true crime series from Tenderfoot TV and iHeart Podcasts. In Crook County, you'll meet Ken, a celebrated firefighter, husband, and loving father, and you'll learn the truth about Ken that for over twenty years, he led a secret double life as a hit man for the legendary organized crime syndicate, The Chicago Outfit, a secret that shattered his family. 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 twenty thirteen, 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. My name is Kyle Tequila.
