Heidi Harris Show Podcast #323: Who’s the dead guy in the barrel at Lake Mead?

Now that Lake Mead has receded to frightening low levels, some of her “secrets” are being revealed. A man’s body, in a barrel, has shown up on what’s now the shoreline of Lake Mead. He had been murdered in the late 70’s to early 80’s, and everyone’s wondering who it could be. Only in Vegas, baby!

Now the FBI has been called in to assist. I asked renowned Nevada author and journalist John L. Smith to join me with his thoughts.

Heidi Harris Show Podcast #217: Vegas hit man Frank Cullotta

Frank Cullotta made his name as a hitman for the infamous Tony Spilotro in Las Vegas. He was a fascinating character, to be sure. Some of Frank’s murders were portrayed in the movie “Casino”. I had the chance to interview him several times over the years, and I’ve put a couple of interviews together here in this podcast. I also had a chance to ask him about a TV ad Harry Reid was running a few years ago, claiming he’d been “targeted by the mob”. Was that true? What do you think?
