In this episode of Are They There Yet?, we take a deep dive into the mysterious heist pulled off by Bill Brennan at the Stardust Casino in Las Vegas on September 22, 1992. A humble and unassuming cashier, Brennan vanished with half a million dollars in cash and chips, leaving behind a trail of questions. Was he the mastermind behind the perfect crime, or was he just a pawn in a much bigger operation? As we unpack Brennan’s quiet personality, his shady associations, and the casino’s mob connections, we explore whether Brennan is alive or dead, and if the mob had anything to do with his disappearance. Tune in to find out what really happened—and why this case remains unsolved.
