It's a story of Ken Tekiela, a celebrated Chicago firefighter and loving father of two who led a secret double life as a hitman for the Chicago mafia. For over two decades Ken, known in crime circles as “the Kid,” successfully kept his mafia life a secret from his family and closest friends. In 2013, that all changed when he broke down and told his son Kyle everything. Kyle hosts the podcast. © 2025 iHeartMedia, Inc.
