I've been scratching my head over why crime historians haven't discussed this article, even if to say that it's incorrect.

For 1970 standards, it was pretty detailed. You would figure that authors, like S. Raab and John Davis, would have included this story in their books. As it stands, there aren't many theories on why Dellacroce was passed over.

When I google the story, nothing comes up.

You shit-kicking, stinky, horse-manure-smelling motherfucker you! If you ever get out of line over there again, I'll smash your fucking head so hard you won't be able to get that cowboy hat on. You hear me? Fucking hick. -Nicky (Casino)
