Summary

In our last episode we told a story about how just before Thanksgiving day in 1973, Chicago Outfit associates Samuel Marcello and Joseph Grisafe parked in front of a fire hydrant at Taylor & Western on the west side of Chicago. They would enter the Korner Sandwich Shop just down the block and never be seen again, until the next summer. A month later in January , Sam Rantis, the sandwich shop owner, was found in the trunk of his car at O’Hare International Airport, dead. On a hot July night, 6 months later, Chicago Homicide Detective, Jim Padar and his partner will be assigned to go investigate a body in a drum. In the first of 2 episodes, now retired Det. Padar will tell about how he and his son, Chicago Police Officer Jay Padar, collaborated to tell this and many other real stories of life on the Chicago Police Department. Additionally, Jim will recount his first persons observations of that night and explain how he investigated what he called the Janitor in a Drum case.
