About this listen

Shannon Street: It is to this day the largest number of suspects to die in a non-riotous local police action in the history of the United States. January 11 - 13, 1983, in Memphis, TN. If you like true crime stories tune in to this channel to listen to Mayhem in the Midsouth, which will provide stories of murder cases in the South. If you want to hear stories of officers killed in the line of duty, we have Fallen Badge. Another offering will be stories about mass murderers, unsolved murders and missing person cases entitled Coffee Tea and Crime.

I have 30 years of law enforcement experience. I retired from the Memphis Police Department as a Major.
