Murder trials for the the Pittsburgh LaRocca family, Verilla Crew, aka. "The Family," that controlled Altoona PA.

In 1979, while Three Mile Island was leaking radiation into the air, The Verilla Crew that controlled Altoona PA, began a brutal clamp down on loose ends within the organization. Starting with the murder of John Clark at Mineral Point, Cambria County, then Scott Hileman was dumped in the Tipton reservoir. Other bodies would turn up around the same time (Francis Misitano, on Wopsy mountain Game Lands). Crew hitman Preston Ryan would shoot two people at the Buckhorn Inn.
