1001 Radio Crime Solvers – Gangbusters Episode Show Notes 1. The Case of Al Simeone Show Notes This Gangbusters episode tells the true story of Al Simeone , a small‑time hoodlum whose ambition far outstripped his talent — and whose attempt to climb the criminal ladder led to a violent spree that put him squarely in the sights of law enforcement.
