Episode Details

They were decorated NYPD detectives, patrolling the streets of Brooklyn at the height of New York’s organised crime era. But behind the badge, Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa were secretly working for the mob – passing on intel, setting up hits and helping the Lucchese crime family stay one step ahead.

In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we walk through how two New York City cops allegedly became paid Mafia insiders, how bodies began to pile up across Brooklyn and Staten Island, and how it took years for investigators to finally connect the murders back to the detectives who were supposed to be solving them. From mob meetings and whispered tips to ambushes on quiet streets, we follow the trail that led to the infamous “Mafia Cops” case.

If you’re drawn to stories of police corruption, the American Mafia and classic New York true crime from the 1980s and 1990s, this one is for you. Settle in, close your eyes, and let the story of the Mafia Cops unfold.
