Case 16 - The Original G-Man

Retired Secret Service agent Todd Hiles and retired FBI agent Stewart Fillmore take you deep inside the Bureau for a gripping look at one of its most legendary figures: Melvin Purvis.

In Case 16 – The Original G-Man, Hiles and Fillmore unravel the meteoric rise and mysterious downfall of the man who took down John Dillinger and became America’s first celebrity lawman. Revered by the public but resented by his own boss, Purvis found himself in the crosshairs of J. Edgar Hoover—the powerful and ruthless director of the FBI.

What happens when a man meant to serve justice becomes bigger than the institution itself? From high-profile gangster takedowns to the silent war waged against him from within, this episode explores how Purvis went from Hoover’s golden boy to an outcast in the very agency he helped define.

With expert insight and compelling storytelling, Back in Crime dives into the untold truth behind Purvis’ FBI career, his clashes with Hoover, and the unanswered questions surrounding his tragic end. Was it a fall from grace—or something more sinister?
