Gangster, police officer, hitman, international criminal, right hand to notorious Chicago Outfit Boss Sam Giancana, would be Fidel Castro assassin, JFK assassination conspirator, Anti-Castro rebel coordinator and trainer, linguist, wiretapper, polygraph examiner, Barry Goldwater bodyguard, FBI Informant and CIA operative. In his 20 plus years run in the public eye, Richard Cain was reported to have been all of these things. 

Chris Kafcas and Detective Mike Hammond are excited to be back and bring you Part 2 joined by author of the true crime biography, Tangled Web,  Michael Cain.  Tangled Web is the detailed story of Chicago Outfit member, former Chicago Police Officer Richard Cain. More than just his biographer Michael Cain is Richard Cain's half brother born to the same father.  He graciously joined Detective Hammond in a conversation about his book and his journey to try and get to the bottom of the endless stories, legends and rumors about his brother. 

Now up, the final, Part 2. We conclude the interview with author Michael Cain and then try and come to some conclusions about Richard Cain. Who was he really?  Could he have been involved in some of the most dramatic moments in modern American history?   Why was he murdered and by whom?  We will discuss it all in this episode.  Please give it a listen and then leave us a comment and go to our Station page, take the poll and leave us your thoughts, opinions or questions
