Good stuff!

Lou Larasso's son came to my Garden State Gangland presentation at the Mob Museum back in 2018. I may have his info somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

I was going through an old folder on my computer and found a file stating that the car Frank Majuri drove to Apalachin was owned by a James Merlo of 35 Loomis St, Elizabeth. James/Jack/Jacob Merlo 1915-1992 was well connected.
-His step brother was member Joseph Carano
-His step-brother-in-law was Frank Majuri
-His son-in-law was Anthony DeMaio
-His cousin was Joseph Merlo Snr

Makes sense -- Michele and Giuseppe Merlo probably founded the Elizabeth branch of the DeCavalcante Family and the family as a whole is about as well-connected as it gets.

Did you find who James's biological father is?
