Chapters
Louis Sarcella was a renowned NYPD detective known for his ability to get confessions, despite his close ties to the mafia through his uncle, Nicky Black Grancio. His reputation and physical prowess made him a standout figure in the NYPD, but his involvement in the Colombo family's civil war and his inability to solve a murder case involving his uncle tarnished his image.

Shownotes Transcript

Louis Sarcella might be one of the most corrupt NYPD detectives ever, though he was once heralded as a master at getting confessions on homicides. A slick dressing, tough talking cigar smoker who could bench 400 pounds, he got such a good reputation that he was invited on the Dr. Phil show.

But while he was waging a war on the streets, his uncle, Nicky Black Grancio, was waging a mafia war as the third Colombo family civil war heated up and bodies started to drop. Both Nicky and Louis's luck would soon run out. We're joined by the host of The Burden, journalist Steve Fishman.
