About this episode
Join us, as we examine the murder of Michael Ricci Senior: a 51-year-old Boston firefighter and father of three. 

You’ll hear how what first appeared to be a tragic fatal accident soon revealed a far darker story beneath the surface and how, after a terrible mistake in 2018, Michael was forced to pay, every single day for the next two years…before paying the ultimate price: his life.
