Betrayal, corruption, and pure douchebaggery—this case has it all! Dive into the shocking story of NYPD “Mafia Cops” Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, who turned their badges into tools for organized crime in 1980s New York. From feeding mob bosses confidential police intel to carrying out murders, these detectives operated as hitmen for the mafia, leaving a trail of chaos and heartbreak. Fear City was already in shambles, and these guys took it to a whole new level. Yes, they were THAT bad.
In this episode of Killer Queens, Tyrella spills all the gritty, jaw-dropping details about these corrupt cops’ rise and fall. Hear how they partnered with crime families, committed heinous murders, and eventually got what they deserved. With witness testimonies, FBI investigations, and one wild undercover sting operation, this case unravels like a Hollywood crime thriller—but it’s all horrifyingly real. Listener discretion is advised: this story covers murder, kidnapping, and even mistaken identity hits that ended innocent lives. Hang with us as we break down the drama, mafia connections, and yes, some SERIOUS douchebaggery.
