December 12th, 1989. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us this introductory segment on the unstoppable killing power of the mafia.
“The cops wanted this guy bad, but their manhunt came up empty. So law enforcement did the next best thing, they put tremendous heat on the mob…”
In what must be a television first, in studio are two mob affiliates one of whom brought his mother. We are presented with a backgrounder on the case of Gus Farace and other mafia killings. Did the mob pull the trigger after being pressured by law enforcement?
Michael Heart, a member of Murder Inc and his mom Shirley are at the other end of the stage from Michael Milan and William Roemer Jr, a former FBI agent who has tangled with the mob.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
