Join Denny Griffin, Andrew DiDonato and some very special guests this Sunday for a private screening of Surviving the Mob
From 1983 through 1997 Andrew DiDonato was a street soldier for the Nicky Corozzo faction of the Gambino organized crime family. During that time his criminal activities included burglary, robbery, drug dealing, counterfeiting, forgery, fraud, conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder. In 1996 he was one of two men assigned by Nick Corozzo to kill John Gotti Junior. However, before the murder could take place, Andrew, Corozzo and Gotti himself were arrested and jailed on unrelated charges.
Andrew became a government witness in 1997. His subsequent testimony placed a number of his former colleagues from the Gambino and other New York City crime families behind bars. He testified against Junior Gotti in his 2005 trial.
The 2 Reel Production Company of Henderson has filmed a documentary of Andrew’s life titled Surviving the Mob. You are cordially invited to attend the private screening of the film. You can view the teaser at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn8kUXUcoNU&feature=email

March 30 Show Update
On March 30, Kim Kolton and I will discuss the tragic case of the murder of Debi Whitlock. On March 25, 1988, the 32-year-old was murdered and then raped in her Modesto, California home. Initially Debi’s husband Harold was a suspect in his wife’s murder, but he was never charged.
Nine years passed without an arrest. But Debi’s mother, Jacque MacDonald, never lost hope that the case would eventually be solved. She pursued her own investigation into her daughter’s death, leaving no stone unturned. Her dedication was rewarded in 1997 with the arrest and conviction of the killer.
An account of the case titled No Room For Doubt was written by Debi’s step-daughter, Angela Dove, and was released last year. Kim and I will be joined by Jacque, Angela, and Lisa DeSantis of the Merced County Victim/Witness program, to discuss the Debi’s murder and its aftermath.

My New Book Deal
My newest book is another organized crime biography. This time I’m the co-author with a former Gambino crime family street soldier.
Surviving the Mob is the story of Andrew DiDonato, who was an associate of the Nicky Corozzo crew of the Gambino family from 1983 until becoming a government witness in 1997. It’s a fascinating look at how a criminal gang operates through the eyes of a street soldier. We’re shooting for a release date late this year.
