synopsis
Bad decisions and deadly corruption plague a small Southern town in City Confidential: Ingleside, TX. Ingleside's population hovered only around 8,000 when Mark Crawford decided to run for mayor. It was 1988, and despite having no political experience, Crawford won easily. Townspeople say he was a good leader who interacted with the community while running his successful business. But when federal prosecutors began to hone in on some illegal operations including conspiracy, money laundering, and fraud, Crawford saw his cozy world start to crumble. In order to silence one of his accusers, Crawford murdered him. A&E documents the steps taken to jail this paranoid killer and the state's ongoing struggle to keep him there.
