Pitera was the one who killed Willie Boy Johnson as a favor for Gotti, Sr. I believe he has a son out there.

[TallGuy19]

The gangi genovese capo is his cousin .

Are you sure? Some sources have them as cousins, while others have Gangi Jr. as Rosario Gangi's nephew.

[Super]

There is a list of pitera crew from Philip Carlo book the butcher.

[Super]

Remember in the book it said bruno indelicato got him involved with family business he was in frank linos crew and was close with spero. He sold drugs and robbed dealers not sure what else he was involved in had quite a few associates kicking up.

Philip Carlo's book was not much different from his other books, he exaggerates and possible makes stuff up to sell the book. The way he did the book shows him for what he is, a con man. He made Pitera think he was going to tel his side, then screwed him over totally.

Before anyone jumps up screaming, remember, if Pitera had ratted early, and blamed Gangi and others, Phillip Carlo's book would have been Gangi: Anatomy of a Butcher! and people would be talking about Gangi the way they talk about Pitera.

[Super]

If pietra was going to rat i doubt it would be on gangi. He could of ratted on lino spero the willie johnson hit etc I agree about his books .

Carlo had this obsession talking about Pitera having a high voice.

Did he actually interview Pitera for the book?

[Super]

I dont think so. Might of written but think tommy turned him down.

He sounded like Minnie Mouse.

You’ve heard him speak? There’s a tape recorded around of him in prison speaking to a lady that was doing like interviews about the prison system I think.

[Pogo The Clown]

No it was a joke. Evidently that book about him makes several references to his voice.

So how many bodies does this guy actually have on him? I saw the book in the library but I didn't grab it because I saw it was by the same guy who wrote the Iceman and Gaspipe books. Obviously he always had a rep as a killer but was the "serial killer" narrative around before the book came out?

I was going to send you the video of him speaking on a microphone, but it got deleted.
