Lufthansa Robbery Crime Scene Murder: Bodies of Robert "Frenchy" McMahon and Joe Manri (Manriquez).
Holy crap!
Where Did you get this? Do you have more?
This is very rare.....never seen this.
These guys were left on corner of Schenectady Ave off Ave M. Just a few blocks from the Gemini Lounge.
Little bit of digging around. Ask and you shall receive. Maybe we can put a picture next to his Wikipedia Page Now.
Picture is of Frenchy McMahon in 1975.
Wow.... strange pic. Did not know either one of them but seen him once in real life. Dead in front of my House.
The car they were in was right across the street from my house, I walked out of my house on my way to school early that morning, lit a smoke and noticed a kid from down the next block looking in the car and then swiftly running back home. I crossed the street , peered into the drivers side of the car and saw two men who had obviously been whacked.
Ran back into my house and woke everyone who was not up and told them what was out there, we went back outside and several minutes later NYPD was shutting it down, asked my Mother if they could use the phone to set up a base and she said “ NO, Get the fuck out of my houseâ€. Someone had already let them in to use the phone once but she shut that down.
We had many friends and FAMILY on both sides of the LAW at the time and would never choose sides for good reasons.

Nice I got the pictures online and am 99% sure both are authentic of both men. The source is reliable.
I always wondered about the Lufthansa people and others around Burke/Hill. I have been digging for pictures and information of people like Angelo Sepe, Richard Eaton, and Marty Krugman. There are a few online, but I wanna see more. I have like one or two more I found recently as well.

Any chance of digging up a photo of Billy Batts? Or whatever his name was? Seems to be some questions around his identity. There's gotta be something out there on him.

I question the picture online about him. Only thing I can find are articles of him getting arrested in early 60s with Carmine Galante.

A while back Nick Pilleggi was on the Adam Carolla podcast and they were discussing Goodfellas and Casino. He said that Billy Batts was his real name and that he was one of the only made guys that had a mustache and beard. He also said the famous Jimmy "Two Times" "I'm gonna get the papers, get the papers" guy's nickname was actually Johnny "Echoes" but they couldn't get the OK to use it or the family didn't want it used for whatever reason. Like how Jimmy Burke's family wanted to get paid, so they changed the name to Conway. Don't know why the guy's family would object to it, it's not like he was a main character or he was portrayed in a negative light or anything. I know the official movie poster for Goodfellas has a generic mob guy dead on it beneath Henry/Jimmy/Tommy, but the guy looks an awful lot like Jimmy "two times". Ha.

I heard about Johnny Echoes, he is mentioned in the book wiseguy. Johnny Echoes LNU. Billy Batts real name was William Bentvena. Picture of Bentvena circulating online, do not know if that is really him or not.
