Little Dom Cataldo... feared hitman and good moneymaker, in the late 1970s he started getting heavy into coke and getting more and more paranoid. Sal Polisi and Joe Dogs Iannuzzi both tell of a story he told where he was going to bury a body and he asked an associate for help, went upstate where he had previously buried dozens of other bodies, and while burying the body he and his associate, who's standing over the open grave, Dom asks him to check the victim's pockets for a wallet, ID and cash which he does and gives it to Dom. Dom thanks him and shoots him behind the head. He would tell this story to the guys and laugh like a maniac.

According to them Dom had whacked over two dozen people at the very least. He's also been suspected in whacking Gerard Pappa.


-I shot him a coupla' times.
-What's a couple?
-Hmm, more than a couple... Really I don't know the exact amount, maybe I shot him 10 times, 12 times?
-Maybe fifteen?
-Hmm, it could've been fifteen...
