Description

Former Massachusetts State Police Captain Joe "Buddy" Saccardo explains what motivated him to become a Trooper, and what life was like in the MSP in the early 1960's. We follow his career - and what led him to investigate one of Massachusetts' most famed "killers," and how he lied about being a prolific murderer for Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill gang.
