    John Torrio was finally exactly where he wanted to be.

    With his uncle, Big Jim Colosimo out of the way, his business expanding across the South Side of the city and into the suburbs, and his trustworthy young right-hand man, Al Capone, at his side, he was ready to start dividing up the Chicago into territories.

  • American Dread: Three Minutes Underwater, the Lisa Cutler Story
    Mar 25 2026

    A mother. A bathtub. A death ruled suspicious.

    In 2012, Lisa Cutler was found drowned in her Mount Zion, Illinois home while her children slept upstairs.

    At first, it looked like an accident.

    But more than 20 bruises… a failing marriage… and over a million dollars in life insurance told a different story.

    Mar 17 2026

    John Torrio was ready when the new Prohibition law went into effect, but he seemed to be the only one. He was waiting impatiently for everyone else to catch up. He’d been predicting Prohibition to his friends and business associates for months and knew it would be how organized crime could amass untold amounts of wealth. To take something that had always been legal, and make it illegal, especially a vice like alcohol, and then expect Americans to adhere to the letter of the law was incredibly naïve. Torrio knew that by taking advantage of Prohibition, it was a way for people like himself to become millionaires.
