Burke was an evil sociopath and murderer with a chip on his shoulder.
And he was almost as big a drug addict as Hill, which is really saying something. He's a little before my time and I'm a Bronx guy, but I've heard from very reliable people that he was so fucked up on speed and booze that he'd go weeks without sleeping. And when that sleep deprived paranoia would set in, that's when people would start disappearing.
