The Gregg Owen Interview: The Chicago prosecutor who refused to let corruption win.
What’s going on guys… welcome back to the Conspiracy Kitchen, where we dig into the cases that don’t sit right. Tonight we’re joined by Gregg Owen — former rock musician who opened for legends like The Doors and Janis Joplin, turned Chicago murder prosecutor, and author of the true crime book Convergence. In 1976, a young couple was stabbed to death in a Gold Coast apartment. The killer was identified fast. There was a confession. There was an eyewitness. It should have been open-and-shut. Instead, the case nearly vanished. Evidence disappeared. Powerful people intervened. The system looked the other way. Gregg was one of the two young prosecutors who refused to let it die. He takes us inside the investigation, the corrupt 26th & California courthouse, the fight to force the case to trial, and what it was really like working murder cases during the era that led to Operation Greylord. This is a story about buried evidence, bought justice, and what happens when the people meant to prosecute a double murder try to make it disappear. If you love cases where the official story feels incomplete, this one’s for you. Gregg Owen joins us in the Kitchen. #TrueCrime #ChicagoCrime #OperationGreylord #Convergence #ConspiracyKitchen
