The son never knew who did it, he said so in earlier interviews. Since he has written the book, he has said "I'll go along with the Carlo Gambino theory." Which means he is just getting it off sources in books or online. I think Eboli had to be killed by others in the genovese Family. The original sources for it being Gambino were law enforcement leaking stories to friendly reporters to get talk going about Gambino.

Eboli's son seems to be a good man, I like how he comes off. It is a bit disappointing to see him just throw in the Gambino as killer story due to lack of any real knowledge, but he is old and did not know what else to say.


Does anyone have the outage of a file that used to be on MaryFarrell where Eboli is caught on tape in 1966 talking about how he thought people in a car outside a place he had been in were there to kill him? He laughed it off when telling the story, I think Mike Miranda was on of those he was speaking with.

Fat Tony version is more accurate and this goes back to when Vito picked Gerry Catena as his number 2 right before Genovese went to prison. There was a good chance that Vito would have been released in the early 1960s, but it would have exposed alot to the public records, and the bosses the commission was thinking it over, but the profaci war was going on, then Valachi happened and they said no way. To simplify the circumstances, this was all New Jersey faction. Frank Tieri, Carmine Zeccardi, with a few other capos were making beefs with Eboli, mainly about his brother Pat in the drug trade and Tommy favoring his brothers crew. But it was New Jersey that got Tommy Eboli killed. Mike Miranda voted against it and retired indisgust after it. Salerno was one of the few that Miranda stayed in contact when he moved Florida, and would not talk to the current administration members but relayed messages with Fat Tony, Richie possibly Ruggiero Boiardo, and Peter LaPlaca

didn't he also say his father and "Benny Squint" Lombardo were very close and came to his house every Sunday to meet for several hours and then after he was killed he never heard from him or saw him again?

That seems like a pretty likely suspect, he also said Chin never really addressed him or met with him again.

I think there's little doubt his killer came from inside the family

I think Lombardo may have been jealous of Eboli friendship with Chicago, Bufalino, and Angelo Bruno. That is a possibility. For Gigante, both him and Tommy lived in New Jersey, and Eboli was trying to gain influence on the Jersey docks, mainly Tony Pro territory, not only that but a couple of Eboli people were forcing his jukeboxes on some of Gigante friends who already had an understanding with Zeccardi. Tommy was stepping on a lot of toes in New Jersey and only know one sit-down that happened and dont know the details, most likely not good. More and likely there were other sit-downs.
