I'm not 100% sure on the Meldish case or how they got that. I might be wrong but I think the rat Pasqua III was crucial in getting it to a grand jury?
It was a weird sequence of events. It happened in 2013 , they locked Londonio up on weapons charges in Summer of 2015 (where it was incorrectly reported that he was a Bonnano solider) and while he was locked up, the Bronx DA charged him and Caldwell with the murder. Then 2 years later it was rolled in to the huge indictment that included essentially the entire Lucchese hierarchy and more. Pennisi didn't even flip until almost a full year after that.
If you also remember in like 2012 the Bonnano guy was shot on 111th street in damn neae broad daylight and no one had any idea who it was. Until 2017 when it was included in the indictment and Caldwell got popped for it.
The rats that have been made public re: the 2017 indictment were Robert Spinelli, Frank Pasqua III, and associate/drug dealer/construction worker Brian Vaughan. Evangelista came later and was only used against Londonio on the fake jail escape thing which was dropped
I'm thinking there must have been another rat. Londonio's EZ pass records and phone records put him in Harlem (where Caldwell lives) and the Bronx the night of the murder. But that's it? He was friends with Caldwell and his own parents live in the Bronx like a mile or less from the murder site. They must have had more than that. There really might be a good chance that Pasqua III and his dad were at the scene, which was unbelievable at first. What else do they have on that and the 111th street attempted murder? They never said if one of the guns from the supposed cache they caught Londonio and Maiorino with was the Meldish murder weapon. If it were I'm sure that would have came out?
