The Hidden Story of Al Capone's Wife and Children After His Death

🔔 Subscribe for the marriages the family spent decades keeping quiet.    / @rayssocietypages   Al Capone died in 1947 with his mind in ruins, and the world moved on to the legend. His wife and his only son were left holding the name, and the name nearly destroyed them. This is the quiet, documented story of Mae Capone in the decades after her husband's death. The mansion where she covered the furniture in sheets and never climbed the stairs again. The diaries and love letters she burned so no one would ever read them. The hidden fortune everyone believed in, that never existed. It is also the story of their son, Sonny, who was pushed out of school, hauled into court over 3 dollars and 50 cents, and finally walked into a courthouse to give away the name Capone for good. We follow the lawsuit against The Untouchables, the grandchildren who paid the price, and the 2021 auction where the family finally sold what was left, down to the gun and the prison letter Al signed to "the son of my heart." 📝 Link to sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I...
