Wow. Ciotti murdered his own wife on orders from the family. That is wild. Someone needs to research that death
We already have, its's been discussed a couple of times here over the years (if you want to see those posts, run a search for Ciotti and his wife, Daryle [that's the correct spelling] Clark Ciotti). What's new here is that Nick C was told that this was a murder by Fecarotta.
As B posted about in this thread previously, after Daryle was found dead in 1974 of an apparent suicide from alcohol poisoning in the Ciotti's garage, her mother, Patricia Clark, became an FBI CI (Patricia also claimed that she herself had in the past been romantically involved with Giancana). Ciotti was known to have been violently abusive to Daryle. After the Seifert murder, Louie Eboli -- who was an in-law of Ciotti -- had told Ciotti to stash a getaway vehicle used in a hit that Ciotti and Eboli had both allegedly been involved with in his garage and the vehicle was discovered by Daryle. Ciotti and other outfit guys had become concerned that Daryle was going to run her mouth off to someone about the vehicle after she got drunk and allegedly talked too candidly about Ciotti to Joey DeVita, who of course went and told Eboli about the things that Daryle was saying. After this incident, Ciotti beat Daryle so badly that one of her eyes popped out. Apparently this wasn't enough to satisfy people, as a month later she was dead.
Nick C's account here in the excerpt from his 302 regarding what Fecarotta told him about the Seifert hit getaway vehicle car matches what Patricia Clark told the Feds that Daryle had said about the "hot" vehicle stashed in the Ciottis' garage, saying that is was used in the Seifert hit (she described it as a hit on a "man and his wife" at a "plastics plant", obviously Seifert's wife hadn't herself been harmed there but Patricia Clark wasn't herself party to these events) and that an offduty police officer had been injured in the incident also, which would align with Fecarotta's story about a police chase that involved a collision. Based on what Daryle told her mother, I'd suspect that Ciotti had been in the vehicle himself with Fecarotta, and perhaps Eboli as well. Patricia also said that Daryle had told her that apart from Eboli and Ciotti, a man named "Butch" had also been involved in the Seifert hit, presumably Petrocelli, and a fourth name that Patricia didn't recall.

Regarding Accardo having been directly involved, in some capacity, in the Giancana hit, we've of course also discussed this before. The idea that he was personally involved isn't at all far fetched, as Giancana was his compaesano and Accardo may well have sponsored him for membership. If so, apart from Accardo's role as consigliere at this time, he may very well have had a strong feeling of personal responsibility towards Giancana. I would also note that Nick C's account of what LaPietra told him about the matter doesn't confirm that Accardo was necessarily the shooter himself. At no point does the document state that Nick specifically related that Accardo was the actual shooter, just that he was "involved". It's worth emphasizing here that "doing work" in the mafia doesn't necessarily mean that one was the immediate assailant in a hit, but can also indicate that one played a supportive or secondary role related to the actual violence.
