Veteran organized crime
reporter and author George Anastasia offers a piece at Bigtrial.net on the end
of former Philadelphia and South Jersey Cosa Nostra boss, Nicodemo "Little
Nicky" Scarfo..
Nicodemo (Little Nicky) checked
out quietly.
The remains of the former
Philadelphia mob boss were returned to the Philadelphia area shortly after he
died in a federal prison hospital in Butner, NC, on Friday, January 13. Scarfo
was 87 and had spent the last 30 years of his life behind bars. But details
about his burial and final resting place are a mystery.
No big time mob funeral for
the violent Mafia don. No FBI agents snapping pictures outside a funeral home
where wiseguys and wannabes line up to pay their final respects. No filigreed
coffin carried out of some cathedral while television cameras roll and
newspaper photographers snap front page pictures.
And usually reliable sources
in the underworld, and law enforcement, are keeping his final resting place a
secret from Gang Land. Or perhaps they don't have a clue. One unconfirmed
report is that Scarfo was cremated and that any memorial was strictly a small,
family affair.
When it comes to Scarfo,
family is an interesting word.
