    As a lifelong KCMO resident and native, I love that you did this Sitdown on the KC mob and featured Gary Jenkins. Also, I recommended you contact Gary Jenkins on a livestream a couple months back and you said you might but you didn't sound particularly enthused. That said, I'm truly grateful that you did! This is great, Jeff!

    As a lifelong KCMO RESIDENT I am glad to find video of Mr. Civela. I had the opportunity to meet him and spend time with him in 1982-1983. I worked at Trinity Lutheran Hospital from age 15-19. I met him around 15 years old and I would walk the hospital halls going from room to room to drop off and pick up menus for the patients. I was told under no circumstances do I go into room ??? Because that was a very important patient. I noticed that his door had so many stains on it that it started resembling art. It was ketchup, mustard, food stains and no telling what else. I later found out that he’d throw whatever he could get his hands on at the nurses, doctors and staff when they’d upset him. He was talked about in the cafeteria and they also reminded me to NEVER GI TO HIS ROOM. One day I’m passing his room and his door was open so I walked by so fast I was somewhat jogging. I heard him say HEY YOU COME BACK HERE. Oh did I play deaf & dumb. He hit the nurse call button and told her to come get me and bring me back to his room. I explained that I was to NEVER enter his room per my employer. They said well we’ll talk to them but right now you must see what he wants. The nurse walked me in and he told her to get out. I stood at the door terrified. He said come over here I don’t bite and I won’t hurt you. King story short. We became very cordial and he requested me to sit with him every day. I was young and didn’t know anything about sickness or death. I never knew he was mafia until I went home and told my mom about the mean man that was really nice to me. I didn’t even understand mafia too much back then. However my mom tells everyone how I was a friend to Mr. Nick and Mr. Carl Civela so now at age 56, I finally decided to research them and what made them so well known. This is my first video I am watching about them. Thanks 🙏🏾

      Mr Civella was sent from the Prison Hospital in Springfield Missouri in February of 1983, he died 2 weeks later, Mr Civella was not the kind of man to throw food at his Doctors and Nurses, think about the story you told, Mr Civella had stage 4 cancer and had been in the hospital in Springfield Missouri, he was sent to Kansas City and died 2 weeks later, Sir your story does not ring true

    Worked as a CO at Leavenworth Penitentiary, from 85-87. Carl DeLuna was a inmate there. He was doing 20 yrs for the “Vegas skim”, and other crimes. Another CO told me that at times he had observed DeLuna with inmate “gofers” walking in front and behind him, escorting him around the cell block. The guy had “pull” among the inmates.

    It was never said in this but Prendergast built his fortune in concrete. He moved the down town kc area out of the bottoms up onto the hill. The bottoms used to be the old stock yard. As far as the eye could see. They would have massive floods and it would look like an ocean of floating dead cows. As KC grew they moved the stockyards out of downtown. But we still have the American Royal to celebrate that time when Missouri was the gateway to the west and the main stockyards for miles around. Kc of course was built off the trade on the Missouri river. The reason Jazz was really cultivated here was because the bars never closed and there were no arrests for alcohol during prohibition. This was an open city, any mobster could come here and do whatever. The alcohol flowed and jazz joints were thick in downtown KC. The Midwest has a long history of outlaws. I am related the the younger brothers. they rode with Jesse James and had a Great G'mas that used to let Jesse water his horses on her property.
