Alan Mackerly

About this episode

In February 1996, Frank Black traveled to Florida to discuss a potential business deal. He was never seen again. Months later, his business rival Alan Mackerley was charged with murder. Without Frank's body, the prosecution had their work cut out for them trying to convict Alan.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Alan Mackerly and the murder of Frank Black. Alan had a cohort named Lisa Costello, who helped lure Frank Black to Florida. But Lisa would not cooperate with the authorities at first, making convicting Alan even harder.
