When covering the Mafia and doing these videos, I always hurt for the families of these people. Folks that are generally not connected to the Mafia and have to live with the mistakes of the men at the top of their familial structure. Today, I welcome Jackie Orena, the granddaughter of former alleged Colombo Mafia boss Victor "Little Vic" Orena. She discusses her youth and who her grandfather really was. She also details the sad tactics that the government she believed used against Little Vic through chief informant Greg "The Grim Reaper" Scarpa and corrupt FBI agent Lin Devecchio.
