FWIW, some recent articles have mentioned that Mexican and South American OC groups are now capable of producing the classic 'Number Four" or white heroin, having obtained the neccesary know-how and lab. capabilities.

Wow. Lifes irony indeed.

As antimafia posted, the owner of the house Montagna was apparently fleeing from is one Jack Simpson, a 69 year old male known to police. As also mentioned in said article, the guy was arrested not in connection to the murder, but in relation to certain breaches of his parole for prior convictions. (It doesn't exactly say that in the article, but it's my assumptions)

Is there much known about this guy Simpson, what his convictions were, who he was connected/in with? A quick google search yeilded not much beyond the mention in relation to the Montagna hit.


(cough.)
