1993. Mafia women, the wives sons and daughters speak out

The chilling tales of crime; murder, forced prostitution, intimidation…the first hand accounts these women share show mafia lives as they are. January 20th, 1993.

“He made my father love him, he made my father believe that everything was fine…I still do fear them, yes..”

The frist two guests share stories of asian mobsters, being married to them and coerced to continue the marriage even after knowing it was a sham. The next guests, a mother and son, describe the man who eventually informed for the FBI. The son, Bobby DelGiorno, says it was against everything his dad has always told him.

April Woltemate had an ex-husband made man who tried to kill her. She describes later falling for a man who worked in law enforcement.

The first-hand accounts continue as audience members wonder if there was threats to the children, how the mafia men took care of their families, and much more in these eclectic details from the criminal underworld.
