what a sick sob


On March 18, 1980, 12-year-old Frank Gotti, youngest son of John Gotti was run over and killed on his bicycle by neighbor John Favara whose children were friends with Frank Gotti.

Police found Favara was not to blame in the accident, which was officially ruled "accidental" and no charges were ever filed against him. However, in the months after the accident, the word "Murderer" was spray-painted onto Favara's car. On May 28, Victoria DiGiorgio Gotti, Frank's mother, attacked Favara with a metal baseball bat, sending him to the hospital. Favara decided not to press charges and planned to move out of Howard Beach. According to the FBI, on July 28, 1980, Favara was kidnapped and murdered by eight members of Gotti's crew while Gotti and his wife were out of town.

The New York Police Department was contacted days after Favara disappeared and the caller, who seemed to have an intimate knowledge of what had happened, claimed that Favara had been kidnapped by Gotti's henchmen and been held captive until Gotti returned from vacation. Then, despite Favara's pleas for mercy, John Gotti himself dismembered Favara with a chainsaw.

In January 2009, prosecutors claimed Charles Carneglia, an alleged mob soldier awaiting trial on five murders, dissolved Favara's remains in a drum of acid kept in Carneglia's basement.
