Another twist...seems like the Genovese were involved in the murder of the alibi witness for the shooter
THE SON of the Police Department's authority on fingerprints has disappeared without a trace. Steve Aiello, 23, whose testimony helped free a man charged with killing a powerful mobster's son, was last seen leaving his father's Morris Park house in the Bronx. Police believe Aiello may have been kidnaped and murdered by Genovese mobsters seeking retribution. His father, Frank, one of the most highly regarded civilians at 1 Police Plaza, runs the NYPD's Bureau of Criminal Investigation. He is a friend of every detective boss in the department. If a bad guy has hands, senior police officials say, Frank Aiello will find the fingerprints. The department's organized crime investigators are hard at work trying to find Missing Person No. 7734, 5-foot-8, brown eyes and brown hair. The kid knew his share of guys. By the time Steve Aiello disappeared Sept. 11, he was well known to FBI mob watchers. According to law enforcement sources, the story may trace to an incident in which reputed Genovese soldier Patsy Parrello slapped Torrie LoCascio, the son of imprisoned Gambino underboss Frank LoCascio, in front of a Bronx social club. The Gambinos, apparently seeking revenge, hired Victor Mirdita, an Albanian who was friendly with LoCascio's former driver, the sources said. On April 26, 1993, Parrello's son Pasquale, 24, was shot to death. Police arrested and charged Mirdita with murder. He was caught at the scene with a gun. On the eve of the trial this summer, the defense found an alibi witness Steve Aiello. He testified without ever telling his father, and Mirdita was acquitted. Assistant District Attorney William Hrabsky believes Aiello perjured himself.
Interesting, good find.
