I love hearing a detectives version of the events that happened. Another good episode for the great Gary Jenkins
Appreciate Ya Perspective And Ya Insight. Aaron Gant Was/Is My Uncle, One Of My Moms Oldest Brothers Hearing The Story From Another Perspective Was Enjoyable….💪🏾
Thanks looks like the whole Gant family watched my story. It was a crazy time back then. I understand how the drug business was a way out.
Would you email me at ganglandwire@gmail.com please. I have a question
I knew Eddie Cox quite well did a bid with him in Leavenworth in the 80's and 90's...Great jailhouse lawyer...
I hear he is still doing well on the outside and still helps guys with legal problems.
We need more black Mafia stories by you
I have an older one about the Philadelphia Black Mafia.
Thanks Gary. This was great!
My name is Tracy Cooper, the daughter of Maynard Cooper
I remember all these people you are talking about.
Thanks for your comment. It was a different time.
Are you sure??
Great work G. We Need a part 2
Yes. Wonderful information. Part 2 would be most welcome.
Great show Gary. The news article your talking about is called “Sins of a Father” writing by Mike McGraw. They interviewed my Poppy about that. Joe and Danny were our cousins, and Jimmy Willis was ALWAYS around when I was a kid. When he came home he use to make the BEST BBQ sauce and Brisket. Lol!!
Nice Thanks Gary
Thank you!
There's a lot of people from kc that have no idea about the black mafia..
Thanks for the history lesson.
Thank you
I'm from Kansas city mo 12th st which is the projects...I most definitely know the Gants & Demmons they're family members..Leon Jordan have a park named after him now...Wow this brings back history
Thanks for your comment. I bet you have some stories yourself.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective Oh hell yes I do lol
@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective By the way I just seen Allan Hawkins 2 weeks ago lol wow!!He's in his 70s I believe
@@Therealrellsfa1 Wow, he made it through. There is a guy with stories.
Gary what’s it like talking to people that were in the life back then, today?
Well good question. Seems like the people who were really in the life back when I was a young detective like to talk about the good old days with someone who understands the life and knew the people. The ones who are wanna be in the life or are still in the life not so much. They take it too seriously.
Doc Dearborn and Aaron gant. The 2 biggest black gangsters in KC history.
Y’a got that right
Eugene Richardson
Very well
Thank you ,Gary this was the story I have been waiting for and you did a great job, I think that they finally found out that Monk and Doc killed Leon Jordan, thanks for mentioning Red Strong, Brother Red was a good guy, he would always help a guy out , anyway thanks again and great job, we would take stolen cigarettes with Missouri tax stamps to Babyface, $5.00 per carton , he was a good guy, man Kansas City is so different now, I am glad that I went straight, I am enjoying retirement now, I feel very lucky, man those twins were evil, dangerous men, who do you think killed June Gant
I don't know who killed June Gant. But Sam Haley was still around, I think. HIs release was threatening to somebody's business. All the old guys were gone except Jimmy Willis.
Aaron gant was the real deal. That brother was superfly personified! I remember hearing stories about him. He had a shit ton of bodies to his name. Wild way to go out 2. In the middle of the club. The streets are a cursed game. Any books that talk about gant?
I haver never seen one. It would be quite a story. He was like Marlo on the Wire.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective facts lol. There was a gant in Philly. He was a gangster/boxer. Wonder if there kin.
That’s my uncle I been looking for a deeper detailed story on them my whole life !!
I also knew Geatonor Bladamenta well.. Walk the track everyday....When I got out he tride to get me a job with a construction company...
What are you doing now? Got any stories for the podcast? email me at ganglandwire@gmail.com
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetectiveThanks for the offer but. I am going to pass.
Do you remember monk! Monk Johnson..in the 70s..12th Wayne minor?
Sure I remember him. He was closer to the Keltons I think.
Do you have any information on the Ulysses Long murder in the 70's? He was the owner of a bowling alley on 43rd and Long's Lounge on 63rd Project. The Streets said it was a mob related. Any thoughts 😕
I have not heard about that. It’s possible.
Gary have you heard of a heroin and coke dealer called Give-a-Way , he had a nephew called Fast that got a big sentence for murder, I think their last name was Simms
The name Simms sounds familiar but I don’t remember anything else
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective Did the Police ever investigate cocaine being sold out of Foster's Records and Tapes at 31st and Brooklyn, they were selling great coke, grams only, also there was a park down the street where you could get Dilaudid, just wondering, have a good night and thanks for the work you do, sometime you should do a show on famous places that are gone, The Wishbone Restaurant, Milton's Tap Room , Sanderson's, etc or places mob guys use to hang out at
Before cocaine you had to be connected in the drug game. So it was a lot more regulated. You can be anybody with money and these cartels will deal with you. And you don’t need too much of a gang because the weaponry is so advanced. So it’s a lotta Indians no chiefs.
I wondered about that. It seemed like after cocaine arrived, we had a lot of minor kingpins but not one or two who were well known.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective yeah Gary it’s harder to monopolize these new drugs. Imma big fan man keep up the great content !! 👍
Gary the war on drugs will never be won... Don't u think that it's about time we looked at the legalisation route!?
Really and put more into drug treatment. But that route has its problems. It just seems impossible sometimes
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective I am a former heroin addict.. addicts use drugs to feel better . We were all basically self medicating . Depression, childhood abuse etc.. drugs are a medical issue.
Look at Mexico.. if we legalised hard drugs and took them out of the hands of criminals it would be safer for everyone
@@carolbrady658 I’m curious how that worked in Portugal? I know a lot of people in recovery, including myself, and they all are an asset to society.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective i haven't looked into it but definitely it's a step in the right direction. I was a functional addict working long hours so I suppose I'm different to most . . People are never going stop wanting to "get high", and demand will be met with supply... I just think it will be better for EVERYONE if the cartels/criminals were taken out of the picture
Very well stated, Gary . I have a Mother that was a homocide in KC and found at St. Joseph hospital parking emergency lane, just wondering if you had any ideas on what happened to her.
Sorry I don’t. When was it?
"Peckerwoods". 😂
I have a 1930s photo of a country roadhouse that has a sign on it that says, “Peckerwood Club.” I can’t seem to find it.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective I used to hear the term growing up in Detroit, Gary. ✊
@@tailor-mademedia1406 interesting I didn’t think it was a Missouri term. In KC the Italian guys always use the term when talking among themselves
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective Lot of Detroiters had Southern roots, Gary.
Black AND White.
In the early '70s, the block we moved to hadn't flipped just yet. So, we had Scot-Irish, Mexican, Polish, Native American, Vietnam Vets and everybody else living on the same block.
The kids all went to school together and we played in each other's backyards. Even did the Boy Scouts and Little League together. Remember, bussing couldn't break that up until people began to move out of Detroit.
But, it was nothing to hear an autoworker say something like "Yeah. So, I'm getting ready for my shift and this peckerwood comes up to me w/ HIS b*llsh*t...."
The flip side of that is my Dad's UAW local was like a real brotherhood.
@@tailor-mademedia1406 “by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars” I worked at the Ford plant here as my first job.
Was there a Jewish Mafia in Kansas City?
Somewhat but they were so close to the La Cosa Nostra that I only remember a couple of names.
@@GaryJenkinsMafiaDetective Max Jaben?
@@tomdalton4293 yeah! Jaben, Morris “Snag” Klein, Eddie Spits Odeshay,
