Retired Intelligence Detective Gary jenkins brings you a unique insight into the Mafia. Today, Gary interviews the noted Chicago outfit expert, Gus Russo, known for his books such as "Supermob," "The Outfit," and "Best of Enemies."

Gus Russo tells how Murray "The Camel" Humphreys is an intriguing figure in the Chicago Outfit. He provides insights into Humphreys' early life, born with the Welsh name of Llewellyn in Illinois, growing up in poverty, and getting involved in petty crime. Gus continues by telling how Humphreys was able to climb the ranks of an organized crime family and become a valued and trusted advisor, political fixer, and business operative. He was so well connected that when his daughter needed a prom date, he was able to induce Frank Sinatra to fill that role.
