There is perhaps no form of illegal activity that has captured our collective imaginations like that of organized crime. From loan sharking, to fraud schemes, to protection rackets, examples of these networks shady dealings and our fascination with the figures behind them are pervasive in popular culture. Indeed, it seems that no matter what the year, there is another tell-all mafia book, or another film or TV series inspired by real-life mob stories.
Aside from the crimes themselves, much of the mob’s notoriety comes from its brutal methods of enforcement. Whether to take down a rival member, keep their own organization in line, or simply to make a point, stories of orchestrated killings or “hits” are a fundamental part of the criminal underworld’s structure. Not to mention a major driver of the intrigue and myth around the mob.
Today we want to take a look at some of the most famous examples of mob hits in the United States. For this list, we will be looking at examples that were either widely publicized at the time, or have come to be the most well known in the years since. We will also be focusing exclusively on hits that targeted other members of criminal organizations, so that rules out people like Jimmy Hoffa who certainly worked with organized crime, but wasn’t a member of the mob in his own right.

With that out of the way, here is our list of 11 Famous U.S. Mob Hits.

If you’re a regular viewer of the channel, then you might remember that back in July we brought you a handful of stories about crimes that had been solved with the help of pets. At the end we told you that we had actually come across quite a few more cases that we didn’t have time to include, and asked if you’d be interested in us covering some of them in a future video. Based on your responses, it seems like the answer was an overwhelming yes. So this week, we’ve decided to do exactly that, and revisit this topic to cover a handful of new and equally interesting cases. Oh, and if you haven’t seen our first video on this topic, be sure to check that one out as well when you’re finished. We’ll leave a link in the description below.

In March of 2019, Netflix revived viral interest in a decade-old missing person case with their documentary crime series, “The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann.” Madeleine was a 4-year-old girl who was abducted from her bed while on vacation with her family in Portugal in the spring of 2007.
Like in many such cases, Madeleine’s disappearance was the subject of widespread speculation and interest, driving many to wonder if the tragic crime would ever be solved. Just this month, new information was released in the case, suggesting that police may be getting closer to naming a suspect.
Though this is a promising development, definitive closure in a case of this kind after so many years is exceedingly rare. Similar missing persons cases, often go unsolved.
Today we wanted to take a look at a few examples of such cases, focusing on unsolved disappearances that were chilling, mysterious, and in some circumstances, seem to make no sense. Though there are countless examples that could have made this list, these are just a few that stood out to us. If there’s a case you think we should know about, tell us about it in the comments section below and we’ll consider it for a future video.

I don’t know about you, but it feels like we’ve been covering a lot of pretty heavy stories around here lately. And I for one could definitely use a palette cleanser of sorts. That’s why today we’ve decided to take a trip back to the stranger, dumber, and just downright sillier side of true crime. Specifically, we’re going to be looking at 7 cases where suspects just DID NOT think things through.
