Vitale went to South Florida in the mid 70s. Mingled with the Colombo Florida crew. Was into the drug business. I don't think it was a Columbian drug hit. It has all the earmarks of a Little Dom Cataldo hit. Shot him ànd his wife with a .380 and then stabbed and slit their throats. iMO Persico ordered it and Dom Cataldo carried out the hit. His wife just happened to be wrong place wrong time and Dom wanted to make It look like a drug cartel hit.
