There are still members being murdered, just not as much as in the past. There are also associates and soldiers that are missing but have not been declared dead. In the 70's and 80's members were being killed ever week which brought a lot of law enforcement scrutiny on the families. The families learned from this and prefer a more peaceful solution as to not bring heat on the family, if one can not be reached then they prefer that the body is not found, unless the victim is respected then the persons body will be found and have an open casket at the funeral. There are still personal beefs between mobsters where one of the mobsters will kill the other mobster without getting the ok from the family or families, but not as much as it was back in the 70's and 80's to where it will interfere with the mob making money and being able to keep their guys out on the street.

Does anyone know why James Donavan was killed? I heard he was sleeping with a capo's wife.
