Disappearing guys in the modern era wouldn't exactly be easier to get away with than just blasting them on the street imo in fact it might even be harder. You have to set up a meeting with the guy and that usually means phones and text messages. There are cameras on the street everywhere that could very well pick up the guy getting into your vehicle or walking into a building connected to you and never walking back out. And the bottom line is that the more people you have helping you commit a murder, the more guys you will eventually see on the stand testifying against you. The reason the mob stopped killing guys is that they can't get away with it anymore. Electronic surveillance is just too pervasive and the families are so penetrated by informants that almost every thing these guys do or say is known to the government. And when you look at Crea and Madonna you see that you can be convicted of a murder even if there's no evidence you played any role in it.
I agree to an extent. If the mob disappears someone who doesn’t have any friends outside of the mob and has nobody who genuinely cares enough to report them missing, then there’s a better chance at getting away with it. The reason why a hit in the semi-modern era, Anthony Seccafico, was flawless, mostly due to convenience & luck. Little Anthony worked a job in Manhattan, and he commuted there from a quiet bus stop on Staten Island. They had the perfect opportunity to surprise him off guard, and up until now they’ve avoided being caught. The Castellano kid who got clipped on July 4th 2010 in Howard Beach appears to be another successful mob hit, again due to convenience & good luck.
