In this episode of the Wide Awake Podcast, I had the opportunity to interview Larry Mazza, a former Mafia hitman who worked closely with Greg Scarpa, the notorious captain of the Colombo crime family, also known as the Grim Reaper. Larry has publicly confessed to taking the lives of four individuals and is rumoured to have been involved in approximately 25 additional homicides. During our conversation, we delved into Larry's transformation from a regular kid with a supportive family to one of the most dreaded members of the Colombo Crime Family. Additionally, we explored his clandestine affair with Greg Scarpa's wife, the extent of his mentor's murderous deeds, and how he managed to evade justice for so long. Furthermore, we provided a detailed account of some of the murders that Larry participated in and the reasons behind the downfall of the Colombo Crime Family.
