IN THIS EPISODE: Meet DONNA HALL and enter a world where TRUE CRIME happened nearly every single day. The Halls were a lower tier CRIME FAMILY who lived in and around PHILADELPHIA, PA in the 1980's and 90's. The Halls weren’t the CORLEONE'S, but they made national headlines just the same! Donna's mom Phyllis - went from flirting with criminality to actually sleeping with it. She spent 6 months in prison for CHILD ENDANGERMENT. Her stepdad – John Hall – was the Philadelphia PD’s FAVORITE SNITCH. By the time he was done, he’d insert my family into two of Philly’s biggest UNSOLVED MUURDERS. That didn't end well for anyone! Ah, but first, you have to meet the family!
SHOW NOTES:
I cannot recommend highly enough that you buy and read Tom Lowenstein's "THE TRIALS OF WALTER OGROD". It contains lots of juicy details about John Hall and my family. You can buy it here at Amazon or here at Goodreads.
