Youngstown Mob Talk

These files were leaked to us by a source who wishes to remain anonymous. Part 4 of this exclusive 5-part series, presented by Youngstown Mob Talk. This story was compiled from information contained within investigative task force files from the Ohio Attorney General’s Organized Crime Investigation Commission. Included are details about crimes which have never been publicly released. These files were provided to us by a source who wishes to remain anonymous. In Part 4, we examine the 1974 murder of Youngstown businessman, fence and informant Robert Talbert Sr. After testifying before a federal grand jury, Talbert was abducted at his gas station on Labor Day 1974, tortured and brutally killed. His body was found in neighboring Boardman Township three days later. The Boardman Police Department says they turned the case over to the ATF but the ATF says they don't investigate murder cases. Talbert's sons, Rob Jr. & Dave, grew up and led their own investigation into their father's killing. Their efforts spurred the Ohio Attorney General's Office to look into the case and in 1999 the Organized Crime Task Force began an official investigation. The Task Force believes they solved the case but it was never prosecuted. Still to come in Part 5, the conclusion of the series looks into the 1974 triple-murder of General Motors Lordstown security guard Benjamin Marsh, along with his wife and 4-year-old daughter. Contained within the Task Force's investigative files, which were leaked to us, is new evidence which may exonerate the man who was convicted for the crimes in 2013.

These files were leaked to us by a source who wishes to remain anonymous. Part 3 of this exclusive 5-part series, presented by Youngstown Mob Talk. In 1980, Youngstown Mob associate John Magda was found dead in a roadside dump site. His hands were bound and his face was wrapped in duct tape. For decades, speculation has run rampant about who killed him and why. Now, for the first time ever, the details of John "Maggie" Magda's death are becoming public. It turns out John Magda's death had a major connection to the death of bookmaker and Youngstown Mob associate Jack Tobin. The information in this series comes from leaked investigative files from a special police task force that was created around the year 2000, by the Ohio Attorney General's Organized Crime Investigation Commission. This Organized Crime Task Force investigated several unsolved mob murders from the 1970s and 1980s. This information was never made public... until now.

In this episode of Youngstown Mob Talk, Johnny Chechitelli and James Naples discuss the unbelievable true story of Benjamin Holmes. Ben tells his story as a mechanic in the late 1970s in Youngstown, who specialized in making car parts for drag racers. One day, some Muslim gangsters approached Ben to convert lawnmower mufflers into silencers for pistols. Next, the mob wanted his services as well. As detailed in Ben's book "Mob Deep," he got mixed up between Joey Naples' gangsters, fake Muslim gangsters and crooked cops from the Hubbard Police Department. Eventually, Ben's house was bombed and he was badly burned. He was also threatened with charges from the cops, so he faked his own death and hid out on the lam for two decades, until the coast was clear... or so he thought.
