These files were leaked to us by a source who wishes to remain anonymous.Part 4 of this exclusive 5-part series, presented by Youngstown Mob Talk. This story was compiled from information contained within investigative task force files from the Ohio Attorney General’s Organized Crime Investigation Commission. Included are details about crimes which have never been publicly released. These files were provided to us by a source who wishes to remain anonymous. In Part 4, we examine the 1974 murder of Youngstown businessman, fence and informant Robert Talbert Sr. After testifying before a federal grand jury, Talbert was abducted at his gas station on Labor Day 1974, tortured and brutally killed. His body was found in neighboring Boardman Township three days later. The Boardman Police Department says they turned the case over to the ATF but the ATF says they don't investigate murder cases. Talbert's sons, Rob Jr. & Dave, grew up and led their own investigation into their father's killing. Their efforts spurred the Ohio Attorney General's Office to look into the case and in 1999 the Organized Crime Task Force began an official investigation. The Task Force believes they solved the case but it was never prosecuted. Still to come in Part 5, the conclusion of the series looks into the 1974 triple-murder of General Motors Lordstown security guard Benjamin Marsh, along with his wife and 4-year-old daughter. Contained within the Task Force's investigative files, which were leaked to us, is new evidence which may exonerate the man who was convicted for the crimes in 2013.A reminder that you can also watch with video by subscribing to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/amazingpodcastcompanyYou can also visit our website: www.amazingpodco.com for more of our original shows.©.
