Retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins brings you the best in mob history with his unique perception of the mafia. In this episode, I investigate the life of Norman DuPont, the notorious manager of the Ravenite Social Club, a key mob hangout. From my background as a former Kansas City Police detective, I share insights gained from footage of the club's patrons and recount a violent confrontation at the Feast of San Gennaro that marked DuPont's descent into organized crime. Exploring the club's evolution under figures like Carlo Gambino and John Gotti, I detail the FBI's struggles to infiltrate this secretive world. DuPont's rise culminates in a chilling act of murder, showcasing the brutal code of the mob. I draw parallels to similar social clubs in Kansas City, reflecting on the culture of loyalty and secrecy that endures. #johngotti #gambinocrimefamily #normandupont #garyjenkins #ganglandwire #ravenitesocialclub
