the 1998 murder of Ralph Coppola

Post by NYNighthawk »

What ever happened to Ralph's widow and kids? Were they taken care of for life or just for a year or so? Ralph and his wife had 2 small kids and she gave birth to a boy a month after he disappeared. Who took care of them - did she have to go to owrk to make ends meet? That baby now has to be 25 years old. Did he go into the life?

If Barney was as close to Ralphie as they say I'd suspect he did...Who took over Ralph's crew after he got clipped?

When Coppola went missing, George Barone was told he answered to Ernie Muscarella now. It appears after Bellomo became acting boss, Serpico took over the crew, then Coppola when Serpico became acting boss, then Muscarella after Coppola was murdered, then Falcetti when Muscarella was put on the panel.

Thank you Chin...I don't know how I forgot they all came out the 116th Street crew...
