    330: Todd Schliem - Harvey Hustlers, Murder Squad
    Sep 12 2024

    Retired agent Todd Schliem reviews his investigation of violent gang members of the Harvey Hustlers and its enforcement arm, the Murder Squad. They were responsible for multiple killings associated with illegal drug sales in the New Orleans area, and ruled the streets of Harvey, Louisiana for nearly 30 years. As they got rid of their rivals, they eventually turned on each other. Most members ended up in prison or dead. The multi-agency case was code-named Operation Swagg Crazy. One of Todd's proudest accomplishments is knowing the case improved the quality of life in the neighborhoods previously held hostage by these ruthless gangs. Todd Schliem served in the FBI for over 22 years.
