As powerful as Carlo was back then, if a renegade group of guys decided to kidnap Manny and then go on the lam. There’s really not much u can do other than try to kill the remaining few who are around and even that would prove to be hard

ie according to one of the kidnappers (don’t think he was involved in the Manny one specifically) but Eddie Maloney in his book says Gotti & Ruggerio went around all the usual haunts hunting for the kidnappers

James McBratney was obviously set up meaning someone gave Gotti his whereabouts. The only real way of hunting those on the lam is through corrupt cops. But even that is hard since cops would have to rely on that person using their social security number etc. Example could be when Gaspipe sent his guys down to Florida I think it was.

They had info the guy was working at some
Club. The victim prob messed up by using his real name and details etc which was easily traced
