0:00.0	Welcome to Boston Confidential, Beantown's True Crime podcast.
0:11.7	Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.
0:16.9	There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.
0:26.1	Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations.
0:39.8	If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact me at Impact.
0:45.7	If I can't help you personally, I'll certainly direct you to the right person or agency.

1:35.7	Street because they know what would happen to them. So just a strange case all around.
1:41.2	All right, guys, before we get into this week's episode, I want to give a shout out to a podcast
1:45.1	I've been listening to.
1:46.3	This is not an advertisement.
