I believe Joe Coffey is the one that started that rumor. That John himself did it. But it's been verified that he was in Florida to have an alibi. Plus, I don't think anyone has even claimed that Gotti ever actually killed anyone personally, let alone chopping a guy chained to a radiator to death with a chainsaw. Ha. No doubt he gave the OK to have it done and knew when it was happening so he took a trip to FL while his goons carried it out.

Has Sammy ever talked about this on his podcast/YT channel? I know he talked about how John gave Willie Boy Johnson his word on this son's grave that he wouldn't be killed, but later on changed his mind and had him machine gunned to death.

. All Fair Points. Yes you’re correct Gotti did go to Florida to establish an alibi. The kidnapping/murder was done by his crew as well as RI mobster Richard Red Bird Gomes. As for Sammy he has kind of mentioned it because he says his son was also accidentally hit by a car so it sort of echoed back to this incident. However back on 1980 Gotti and Gravano didn’t have many dealings others than seeing each other once in a while at a wedding or at the Ravenite maybe. I think Willie Boy was involved with this too but yeah Gotti swearing on his dons grave meant nothing but Willie Bot was also pretty dumb to actually believe that
