Episode 63: Bugsy Siegel Gets Whacked | Hollywood Case File #10

In June 1947 the prominent gangster, feared mobster and casino mogul Bugsy Siegel was shot dead following an eye-popping 20-year career involving extortion, bootlegging, robbery and killing, including becoming one of the founders and driving forces behind notorious organised crime group Murder, Inc... So was it a hit ordered by disgruntled mob bosses? Or someone just frightened for their life?

At the Mystery on the Rocks bar you’ll find a retired sleuth, the bartender trying to settle his tab, and the down-on-her-luck lounge singer, solving mysteries and drinking cocktails. Each week a new guest enters the bar and attempts to solve an unsolved mystery alongside the regulars. Hosted by Masud Milas, Chris Stokes, and Sooz Kempner. It’s a high concept comedy and true crime podcast, set in a fictional crime-solving bar (with real cocktails!). The focus of the show is to attempt to crack a real, unsolved mystery from history – true crime and bizarre occurrences, all with a whodunnit or WTF happened question hanging over them. Masud makes the drinks, Chris tells the mystery and Sooz sings and plays live piano – and everyone chats and chimes in with their theories.
