From the Vault: St. Valentines Day Massacre - The Murder-cer

February 14, 1929, was a day that changed the face of American organized crime forever. In a quiet garage in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, the rivalry between Al "Scarface" Capone and George "Bugs" Moran reached a brutal, bloody climax. Seven men were lined up against a wall and executed by men dressed as police officers—a cold-blooded hit that shocked the nation and signaled the beginning of the end for the Prohibition-era mob.

In this episode, we peel back the layers of history, myth, and the supernatural. We explore the tactical precision of the hit, the botched plan to eliminate Moran himself, and the ghostly legacy that still haunts the site of the SMC Cartage Company. From the strategic brilliance of the "Outfit" to the lingering echoes of the victims, we dive deep into Chicago's most infamous gangland slaying.
