now onto the latest outfit crew to become defunct, the melrose park crew. there continues to be a debate as to if melrose park was its own separate crew from cicero, or a street crew working under the larger cicero crew. i am of the opinion that up to disappearance of anthony zizzo, melrose park was its own crew. after zizzo was gone it is assumed the cicero crew absorbed what was left of the crews territory and any associates/members of crew.

the melrose park crew

Capo
james marcello (1992-1995) -imprisoned apr.5 1995 : 12.5yrs

acting capo
alphonse tornabene (1993-1995) -promoted to Capo

Capo
alphonse tornabene (1995-2001) -promoted to acting boss after death of john monteleone. possible in this period before zizzo was released (jan 2001-0ct 2001) anthony chiaramonti was acting capo. with release of zizzo oct 2001 and murder of chiaramonti, best guess is that zizzo became full Capo only after nov 2001 murder of chiaramonti.

Capo
anthony zizzo (2001-2006) -disappeared aug.31 2006 and presumed to have been murdered.

so with operation family secrets arrest of most of melrose park crew in apr 2005, including james and michael marcello and disappearance in 2006 of zizzo the last member of any note of that crew left on street was alphonse tornabene. it is my belief that tornabene continued to function as an advisor on ruling council of outfit up until his may 2009 death.
