Mob Slaying
The mob is believed to have executed Amato on September 20, 1980. Roy DeMeo, Anthony Gaggi, Joseph Testa, Frederick DiNome, Chris Rosenberg and Joseph Guglielmo were later charged with his disappearance and suspected murder, but no convictions were ever obtained. Although his remains have never been found, authorities suspected that his body was dismembered, wrapped in plastic garbage bags, placed in cardboard boxes and taken to the Fountain Avenue landfill in East New York, Brooklyn. The murder and disposal of Frank Amato earned Roy DeMeo and his crew great respect from Paul Castellano.

Famous quotes containing the words mob and/or slaying:
“Commerce has set the mark of selfishness,
The signet of its all-enslaving power,
Upon a shining ore, and called it gold:
Before whose image bow the vulgar great,
The vainly rich, the miserable proud,
The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings,
And with blind feelings reverence the power
That grinds them to the dust of misery.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“The great tragedy of science—the slaying of a beautiful theory by an ugly fact.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
