So who were the people from STL then? An offshot of Chicago and 'the outfit'? Or a whole other branch/org?
They had links to Detroit: Vito Giannola was one of the bosses in St.Louis (there were also the Russo brothers and Carmelo Fresina), and his brothers were active in Detroit at the time. Later, some Kansas city representatives took over I think.
Thanks for the information both to you and the person who replied below. Are there any books that are about la famiglia in STL or Detroit?
