FBI Agent Frank Storey Survived a Firebombing While Taking Down the Marcello Mafia
Former fed recalls the night his car went up in flames outside his home during a New Orleans organized crime investigation.
Frank Storey spent decades as an FBI agent hunting serious criminals — bank robbers, fugitives, and some of the most dangerous mobsters in America. But one night in New Orleans, the Mafia made it personal. His car was firebombed outside his home.
In a new VladTV interview, Storey walks through his entire run in federal law enforcement, starting with becoming an agent in 1965. He chases bank robbers in North Carolina, tangled with Chicago-connected organized crime in Gary, Indiana, then landed in New Orleans where the Marcello crime family ran everything — gambling, extortion, loan sharking. The feds had to go after them hard.
The firebombing wasn't just a scare tactic. It was retaliation. A message. Storey survived it, kept working, and kept pressing the case. This is the kind of real-world organized crime story that gets buried in history — a cop putting his life on the line against people who could actually make him disappear.
The full interview is split across three parts on VladTV, so if you want the whole arc — from his early agent days through the intense New Orleans years — it's worth the watch.
