Join lawyer and true crime fanatic Kate Itacy for stories about crimes allegedly committed by Warwick citizens or within Warwick city limits.
Today, hear the tale of reputed bootlegger and bank robber Carl Rettich and his Crime Castle, a Warwick Neck mansion owned by Rettich and alleged to be the hub for the Rettich gang’s criminal activities during the 1920s and 1930s. Underworld legend credits Carl Rettich with the invention of cement shoes, and he may have poured a pair for his associate Danny Walsh in a secret dungeon under the Crime Castle’s basement before throwing Walsh into Narragansett Bay.
Katherine Itacy was born and raised in Warwick, worked as a criminal defense lawyer in the city, and remains a civil rights and criminal justice advocate.
