EP: 467 My Dad Was at the Marilyn Monroe Crime Scene with Tom Doyle and No Longer Nomads *members only trailer

This is a side of Tom Doyle that very few people know. A fan-favorite Blurry Creatures guest, Tom is known for his accounts of Muslim dreams about Jesus and more than thirty years on the mission field in the Middle East. What people do not know is how he grew up. His father was an FBI agent and organized-crime specialist in Rat Pack Las Vegas, and one morning he stands at the Marilyn Monroe crime scene as the world wakes up to the headline. He sees who shows up, and it is someone far above a governor. J. Edgar Hoover calls the house personally. Frank Sinatra sends the family a gold watch. This is not the usual Blurry Creatures episode, and that is exactly the point. For one night Tom sets the supernatural aside and cracks open his own family's government files. What spills out is a front-row seat to the biggest conspiracies in American history. Marilyn Monroe and the phone calls to the White House. The Kennedys in Las Vegas the weekend before Dallas. Frankie Sinatra's kidnapping and the watch Tom still owns. Roswell, from a man who knew the people who were there. Josh and Tommy Doyle (Tom's sons) from No Longer Nomads pull up to the table as the Doyle family tells stories they almost never tell in public. And it all bends toward one unlikely ending, how a kid raised around guns and secrets grows up to smuggle Bibles into Iran.
