Warren Robert Hull, a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration student with Michael B. Druxman

Hats Off Books, 2004

On June 20, 1947, one of the most notorious gangsters of the 20th century, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, was murdered in the Beverly Hills mansion of his mistress, Virginia Hill. While there have been numerous theories in regard to who actually killed “the father of Las Vegas,” the fact remains that the Siegel murder case is still officially unsolved ... until now. The shroud of secrecy that had been in place over the intimate elements of this amazing story for more than half a century was lifted in 1996, when the son of a man connected to the killing made a dramatic deathbed confession to Warren R. Hull. In honoring the request to tell the world the secret behind the Siegel killing, Hull provides an incredible explanation as to who murdered Benjamin Siegel, and more importantly, how and why the murder was never solved by the police.
