Outlaws & Gunslingers

Enjoy this bonus content of one of our other podcasts we do called According To Wikipedia. On the show, we take some of the most popular Wikipedia pages and read them so you don't have to! We know this isn't true crime related but we wanted to give a preview as we just launched a few weeks ago.
On this week's episode, we take a look at the Halloween page and see how it started and how it turned into the multi-billion dollar business it is today.

We take a look at two more bosses of the Bonanno Family in this episode. First up is Carmine Galante who seized control of the family after Rastelli went to prison in 1976 which led to the other mob bosses ordering a hit. His death picture is one of the most famous Mafia pictures out there. After Galante's death, the Commission appointed Salvatore "Sally Fruits" Farrugia as boss though little is known about him. Next up was Anthony "Old Man" Spero who ruled the family while Rastelli was in prison until Joseph Massino took over in 1991.

As we continue our deeper look into the Bonanno Family, we go back before Joe Bonanno and profile his predecessor Nicolo "Cola" Schiro. He became boss of what would become the Bonanno Family in 1912 and his claim to fame would be orchestrating the Good Killers murders where five of his men took out rivals in New York, New Jersey, and Detroit.

Next episode we will cover members more in depth starting with the family namesake, Joseph Bonanno.

After Phil Lombardo retired due to health issues in 1981, Vincent Gigante took over for him as boss. Gigante, known before this as the man who almost killed Frank Costello for Vito leads the family for the next 24 years up until his death in 2005. During this time he began wandering around the streets talking to himself feigning mental illness to avoid prosecution for over 20 years. This earned him the nickname "The Oddfather"
