Neither Michael Volpe or his car (Honda) was ever found. According to the article, Palermo went to jail for refusing to testify.
He ended up aggreeing to testify. He said, Accardo was retired,they were just friends, and they never talked business together.
He claimed to have a bad ticker and the feds were instructed to limit his interrogations to 15 min at a time.
I think they were just fishing with Palermo and decided to move on.
I never could understand why accardo had volpe clipped, unless in was in on the burglary, why else would accardo have him killed.
I thought the same thing, Binnie. Here's all I've heard: While testifying, Volpe admitted there had been a burglary. In Wayne Johnson's book, there is a brief statement saying the police believed Volpe helped the burglars. I believe the first reason is more plausible. Having worked for Accardo for decades, he surely would have known better than to cooperate with these burglars.
Also, Accardo's wife and daughter both testified they knew nothing about a burglary.
