Summary

Don’t forget to hit me up on Venmo. Recently, I was a guest on the podcast Unfound. The host of this show researches stories about people who went missing and have never been found. He contacted me to ask about mob guys who went missing and were never found. In this episode which is actually the Unfound show produced on my stream, I tell about a couple of Kansas City mobsters who went missing and were never found. Jimmy Towles was a career criminal who worked in a gang of jewel thieves who were controlled by the Civella crime family. when he left with one of his gang members one day, he never returned. Sal Manzo was a very closely connected associate of Carl Civella. He helped with the sportsbook, he managed a bingo operation that the KC family skimmed thousands from every week. He was involved in finding and fencing stolen property. He disappeared one day and a few weeks later an unidentified person called a well known KC police detective and instructed him to take a look for Manzo inside a trash can in the Italian section of Kansas City. The detective drove to the area the caller described and found the clothes that Manzo was wearing his last day.

0:00.0	Gary Jenkins is a former intelligence unit detective with the Kansas City Police Department.
0:06.1	Fortunately for all of us, he's not missing.
0:09.3	He hosts the Gangland Wire podcast on iTunes.
0:13.0	He joins me today to talk about mafia-related disappearances.
0:17.6	I'm Ed Denzel, and this is unfound. Before I get too deep into this episode in my interview with Gary Jenkins, I think I need to give all of you an update about this show.
0:48.3	I don't ever want it to be a secret how well this show is doing.
0:54.0	I know other hosts out there may be very secretive.
1:00.0	That's not how I really want to handle things here. First of all, I'm very pleased with how the
1:07.3	Facebook discussion group is going. We have 43 members, which I think is pretty good,
1:13.1	given that the show is only a couple months old. I'll just be honest with you on that.
1:17.4	This show continues to be day after day in the top 200 most popular shows on Podomatic,
1:25.4	where I upload this show first, and then it, of course, eventually makes its way to iTunes.
1:33.0	And for a show to remain in the top 200, even though it's only coming out one day a week, to me, is very, very good,
1:41.7	especially given that it's a relatively new show.
1:44.1	And all of you are to thank
1:46.4	for that. And I deeply appreciate that. And I just want you to know, I gauge the popularity of this
1:51.7	show on downloads, not on subscribers or reviews or anything else. Unlike, for example, on iTunes,
2:00.4	it mainly bases the popularity of show on subscribers.
2:04.0	That's not how I do it.
2:05.8	As long as I see that the show is being downloaded
2:08.8	more and more week after week than I'm happy,
2:12.7	that's my criteria.
