According to my research, these are the guys who have been reported (law enforcement, indictments or newspapers) as made guys in St. Louis, with approximate age in parenthesis and supposed position (according to newspapers when Trupiano died):

Boss - Anthony "Nino" Parrino (76)
Underboss - Joseph "Joe" Cammarata (88)
Consigliere - Giacomo "Jack" Parrino(80) / Joseph "Joe" Pisciotta(88)

Frank Palazzolo (67)
Vincent "Vinny" Cammarata (59)
Fernando "Nando" Bartolotta (56)

I have not been able to verify anyone else rumored / speculated to have been made. There has been virtually zero media reports in the STL papers since Trupiano died.

There are a bunch of old East Side and Syrian guys running around still. But these were not LCN groups. As I said before, STL is unique in that there were 3 OC gangs that for the most part, peacefully shared the rackets.

Nando made the casino black book in Missouri back in 2009. Nothing was reported in the papers nor was any reason given:

The little prick is still a chubby POS. Nando was, and probably still is, crazy. He wanted to rob a Venture (similiar to Target) a few days before Christmas back in the day. He planned to walk in, wave a gun at a manager, have them open the safe, then walk out. Stoneking prevented from happening by tipping the cops (he was cooperating at the time) who parked a few cars out in front. Nando walked in and almost did anyway.


Best way to catch the smart ones? Get an idiot working for them.
