One of my good friends grew up there and moved to the Philadelphia Area when he was 12 or 13 his grandmom is getting senile and will call the parents saying that there is black people outside her window

Wasn't one of the roadies for the Allman Brothers involved with the Dixie Mafia ? I think I've read that his involvement was a major reason as to why Greg left the band .

Also is there any current news about the so called Dixie Mafia ? Or has this crime network/alleged organization completely disappeared ?

They're still around according to Wikipedia but I haven't been able to find any present day news about them .

They were never really much of an organization. Dixie mafia or hillbilly mafia is just a term used to describe southern criminality. Much like the term mafia is used everywhere else i guess.

They are really not organized any more, and never really that organized to begin with. Really their "highlight" so to speak was from the time just before they killed Albert Patterson in Phenix City to right when they killed the judge and his wife in Biloxi in the 80's.

Like king said though, they were never much of an organization.

I think you mean Phenix City. Never heard of them being in Pell City.

As for botz saying I-95 in Alabama, we ain't close to I-95.

And for Milton McGregor it would surprise me if he wasn't connected to someone. He is back up and running now, he got a favorable ruling that if the Poarch Creek Indians could have machines then so could he.

Here's a recent article that deals with how Gregg Allman rubbed shoulders with the Dixie Mafia : http://gangsterreport.com/gregg-allman-t...sters-in-1970s/ Also here's the court case for the JC Hawkins trial : http://openjurist.org/571/f2d/880/united-states-v-elliott-j-c

I was under the impression that the Dixie Mafia in Macon was connected to the more famous one out of Biloxi , but there seems to be no connection .

Looks like this " Dixie Mafia " terms is definitely a catch all used to describe various crime networks based in the Southern US .

2a,

There was a strong connection between Georgia members and Biloxi. The hitman used for the Sherry murders came from Georgia. There was a couple of hitmen from Georgia that were used over the years. Towns like Macon was prime spots as they were small towns where they could use their power to get out of about anything. Much like Marcello with JFK, once they hit the Sherry's things went downhill and they never truly recovered and when Mr. Mike Gillich turned Fed that was the end for them. IIRC, Mr. Mike was the one that turned to Georgia after the first man turned down the hit on the Sherry's.

But yes the Dixie Mafia was a loosely affiliated group but there was some structure in there at one point. Nothing big and wide of course, but many knew who and where to go to get things done. Outside of Biloxi there was not much "tribute" going to anyone though it seems.

Yes I know John Ransom was out of Georgia , but I don't recall reading anything about there being a connection between the Macon bunch and the ones down in Biloxi . Then again it doesn't seem strange , since Little Henry did do lots of jobs in Georgia ( Atlanta in particular ) after all .
