True Murder, with your host, journalist and author, Dan Zufansky.

Mary Thompson was your average mother in early 1990s Eugene Oregon.

She was a community organizer and upstanding citizen by day.

By night she was gang mom.

Living the ultimate double life Thompson ran a gang of teenagers, including her own son,

who terrorized the unsuspecting city with drugs and violence.

When a fellow gang member named Aaron Etura was suspected of snitching on Thompson's

son Bo, she mercilessly put a hit on him.

Fred Rosen's gang mom gives an inside look into the true story of a mother who would do

anything, even murder, to protect her son and keep her gang empire alive.

The book that we're featuring this evening is Gang Mom, the evil mother whose gang secretly

preyed on a city.
