Thank you all for your support from our last episode of Youngstown Mob Talk, The Task Force Files part 1. We are working on parts 2-5 and appreciate your patience. They will be posted as soon as possible. In the meantime, James Ferrara called us from the prison in Marion, Ohio today. He is 75 years old, with health issues. He fervently maintains his innocence, asserting that he did not kill GM Lordstown security guard Benjamin Marsh, Marilyn Marsh and their 4-year-old daughter Heather in 1974. He acknowledges that even if he were to have the conviction overturned, he may very well die in prison due to a past crime committed. But he says he will fight until his final breath the notion that he killed the Marsh family. There is a law firm currently looking at his case and the new evidence we’ve uncovered. At the very least, the man deserves a new trial. Updates to come and stay tuned for part 2 of the Task Force Files, coming soon.

Some posts have been blocked in the Youngstown Mob and Pittsburgh Mob groups without our doing. We periodically get messages like this one from Facebook but we can’t see what they took down. It just says the content was removed. Just an FYI.

Also there have been thousands of accounts that have been blocked from joining because Facebook says they were recently created accounts. We realize many people may have told their older relatives about this group and those older folks may have just signed up for Facebook to check it out. Unfortunately, because there are millions of spam bots out there, which just create new accounts and rejoin when we block them, the group does not allow newly created accounts. This helps eliminate the crazy amount of fake accounts trying to join and rip everyone off with their mountainous? Youngstown shirts 😆 or air duct cleaning services 💩. We will continue to keep spam and junk out as best we can. More Youngstown Mob Talk coming Friday!

Our latest edition of YOUNGSTOWN MOB TALK welcomes author Gary Bonnell back to the show to discuss more from his book Truth Not Deception. In our previous discussion with Gary we talked about the 1974 murders of a General Motors Lordstown security guard, his wife and their 4-year-old daughter. In this episode, Gary details his theory of a conspiracy between GM and the UAW to shut him up and eliminate him for what he knew about the Marsh killings. We recommend you check out our previous 3-part investigation into the Marsh murders as well. You can find those on our YouTube channel or anywhere you get Amazing Podcasts.
