About Louie Milito Sammy The Bull Gravano and Louie Milito were very close friends...until Sammy Killed Louie... Read the TRUE STORY only here from his wife: Exclusively only on this website we have Sammy's version of Louie's murder & Lynda's comments for you... Please Read Below "He was convicted of five murders. You know who did it." Sammy The Bull Gravano's Side of Story Excerpts from Chapter 19, the book "Underboss" Sammy The Bull Gravano's Story of Life in the Mafia by Peter Maas: Chapter 19 "He's got to go, John said. "Louie Milito was a friend of mine, 'a friend of ours', but there came a time when Louie, who had helped me in a few hits had to be hit himself. "He was a good-looking guy", Sammy said. "A little taller then me. Stockier. Nobody went back more in the mob with than Louie. In the beginning, we were true street partners. Instead of talking about Sammy or Louie, people would say Sammy and Louie in the same breath. In those early days, Louie was much more successful than me with his car theft ring. He was well-off financially. I was a brokester. That didn't mean nothing to me. Good for him! "In the family, we did a lot of work together. Louie had put the .357 magnum against the head of Johnny Keys in that hit we did for Paul Castellano. He stood over the body of Frank Fiala and shot out his eyes in front of the Plaza Suite. Louie's kids called me Uncle Sammy. "I got made, in Toddo Aurellow's crew, before he did. Louie was still an associate with John Rizzo, the old-time soldier, who was also in Toddo's crew. Afterwards, Toddo told me Paul was looking to enlarge the family. I immediately suggested Louie as a candidate and asked him to talk to Rizzo. "Toddo took me with him to see Rizzo. We figured it was a sure thing. We both expected him to promote his own son as well as Louie. But when Toddo said the boss was looking for new candidates to be made, Rizzo said he had nothing but garbage around him. He wasn't interested in advancing anybody, not even his son. "I told Louie I would try to do something. Even thought I was made, I couldn't propose Louie myself because he was with Rizzo. I went to Toddo and explained that since Johnny Rizzo was a soldier under him, so, in reality, Louie was under him, too. Toddo said he thought I had a good point, and despite the chances of a beef from Rizzo, Toddo sponsored Louie directly to Paul. "After the induction ceremony, I took Louie right over to John Rizzo's club. You should've seen the look on Johnny's face when I introduced Louie to him as a friend of ours. He calmly shook Louie's hand and kissed him on the cheek. There was nothing else he could do. Louie was a made guy, just like him. And he knew me and Louie both had reputations of being stone killers. I didn't really enjoy going around Rizzo, but he left me no choice. Louie deserved to be made. "Now Louie and me were closer than ever. Besides the work we did together, I took him in on the partnership I had with Eddie Garafola in the painting company I set up, and Louie and I developed Gem steel. "The only problem was Eddie and Louie didn't like each other. Eddie was complaining that Louie never shared his financial success with me, so why should I do it for him? And Louie was saying Eddie was a schemer and liar, who didn't belong in Cosa Nostra. I knew about Eddie's faults, but he was married to my sister and I had to think about her and my nieces and nephews. Instinct told me Louie was right about Eddie. I didn't realize it was like the pot calling the kettle black. "It was after Fiala's murder, after I had been in all that trouble with Paul Castellano because the hit wasn't sanctioned, that Louie met me in the lounge of the Golden Gate in Brooklyn. He announced that he was breaking up our partnerships. "I was stunned. 'Let me ask you a question.' I said. 'Why?' And he said, 'Sammy, I just got my reasons.' Then he starts ranting that my brother-in-law is a swindler and a lying piece of shit. 'I advised you five times to kill him,' he said, 'and you don't want to do it.' So I assume the problem is Eddie. Fine, we'll break up. But I told him I'm not giving up Gem. At that time, I didn't have the legitimate consulting relationship with Joe Polito. We still have the kickback arrangement with him, but I was already thinking ahead. "What I didn't know is Louie had this business opportunity that he took to Tommy Bilotti, who in turn took him to Paul. At this meeting, Paul mouths off that he should have had Sammy killed over the Fiala situation. This was classic Paul - divide and conquer. Paul saw and seized opportunity to drive and wedge between us. The Fiala business was history. But Louie figured that it wasn't resolved in Paul's mind and panicked. He thought if Sammy's going to be killed, he'll be killed as well. He took Paul's word at face value. He don't know Paul well enough to know that Paul was just talking. Everybody in close contact with Paul knew his bark was worse than his bite. Sure, Paul was mad at me about the Fiala hit, but he wasn't going to kill me then or ever. "Then Louie went back to Paul again and told him he was completely separating himself from me. Louie wanted Paul to stop thinking of him and me as one person. Milito was no longer part of Gravano. And to prove it, he went secretly into partnership with Tommy Bilotti in Tommy's shylocking business. "I found all this out from Frankie DeCicco. DiB-Robert DiBernardo-told him. DiB was present at both meetings. Louie figured none of this would ever get out, because DiB was supposed to be tight with Paul. He didn't dream DiB would be our messenger on the Castellano hit. "Louie had got pinched for something and was away for a short time when we made our move against Paul and Tommy Bilotti. Frankie was steaming. Louie could have betrayed us if he wasn't in jail. He was playing both sides. As soon as Louie got out of jail, Frankie said he had to be killed. A guy like that was too devious. "I argued fro Louie's life. I asked Frankie, who was now our underboss, to let Louie come under me. After all, we had spared people before. I would tell Louie what we discovered. I would put him on the shelf. I tried to convince Frankie that we didn't have to kill him. But Frankie was adamant. Louie had to die. He had slapped us all in the face with double-dealing. Even if Paul's threat to kill me wasn't real, Louie didn't know it and he never tried to warn me. Then Frankie got blown up. "When Louie was back on the street, John Gotti called me in. What about the hit? It had already been sanctioned. I talked again for Louie, and John said I was the one Louie had double-crossed. If I wanted to spare him, he'd go along with it. But he cautioned me to keep a sharp eye on my so-called friend. "I read Louie the riot act and told him all that we knew. He never tried to deny anything. I said he was going to get a pass. But he didn't buy it. I was acting out of friendship, but Louie was looking for the angle. He would question all the people around him. He wanted to know everything and anything I might have said about him. Paranoia became his middle name. "He went to Tommy Bilotti's brother, Joe. After the Castellano hit, Joe Watts argued that we should kill Joe Bilotti becasue he was a danger to us. I had argued to John Gotti that I didn't think this was necessary. Joe Bilotti knew the life. I thought he would accept what had happened and become a good, loyal soldier, which he did. John said that if I met with him, and he decided to strike back, I could be the first to go. Did I still feel the same way? I said yes. Then Frankie DiCicco jumped in and told John that he felt like I did, and he would go along to the first meeting with Joe Bilotti. "So the meeting was arranged in a Brooklyn dinner. Joe was obviously nervous. I told him that our move was primarily against Paul, but that given his brother's relationship with Paul, his brother had to go, too, and I knew he would understand that. I pulled back my jacket and showed him the cannon I was carrying. I told Joe, 'You know me a lot of years. If we wanted you dead, do you think you'd be dead already?' He looked at me and nodded his head. I said, 'Joe, I give you my word that you got a pass. I'm gonna be your captain. Don't worry when I send for you. You're a friend of ours in good standing. If you need me to sit down for you, I will. You got a tough job. You have nine kids. Tommy had nine kids. You have eighteen kids to take care of.' And Joe's still alive today. "Anyway, now Louie goes to Joe and tells him they're in the same position, something has to be up. Joe said, 'No, no, we're not in any position. I'm still alive. I'm the proof. Sammy gives his word, you can bank on it.' "Then Louie made his big mistake. He must have been all fucked-up in his head. When I became consigliere, I appointed Big Lou Vallario captain of my crew. And now Louie Milito was going around bad-mouthing Big Lou and saying he should be captain. Unbelievable for him to even think I would consider it after his betrayals. This is a serious matter when a soldier is backbiting his captain. And John Gotti hears about it. We both discussed Milito. He's got to go, John said. John was concerned that Louie could snap anytime. He reminded me that he spared Louie's life once under certain conditions, which Louie wasn't abiding by. You couldn't predict what he'd do next. He was tough and dangerous. I was sick, but I had to agree with John. This time my mind and my gut won over my heart. "John decided that he wanted to avoid any appearance of a grudge hit. I wouldn't be given the contract, but I would be present. The hit officially went to John's brother Genie and his crew. Vallario would set up Louie. Joe Watts would get rid of the body. The date was a Tuesday, March 8, 1988. "Big Lou" called Milito to tell him John Gotti finally decided to kill "Johnny G," a guy everybody knew John hated. So Louie had no reason to doubt his captain's call. Big Lou said his crew was handling the hit, but Gene Gotti and myself would be there. "Louie Milito showed up at Big Louie's club in Bensonhurst close to seven p.m. When he came in, Big Louie was standing behind the service counter. Gene Gotti, one of his guys, Arnold Squiteiri, and myself were at a round table playing cards. John Carneglia was sitting on a leather couch watching TV. After saying hello, Milito went to the service counter for a cup of espresso. As he was telling Big Lou how much sugar to add to it, Carneglia got up from the couch and came up behind Milito with a .380 silencer. He put a quick shot into the back of Louie Milito's head. Louie fell faceup on the floor, Carneglia bent over him and shot him once under his chin. He was quite dead. "We put him in a body bag. Arnold and Carneglia went out to get their car. i had placed Eddie Garafola and Huck along two streets away from the club as lookouts. Everything was clear. Arnold and Carneglia drove off with the body bag in the trunk to bring it to Joe Watts. Big Lou, Eddie, and Huck cleaned up while I took a walk/talk with Genie. Then Genie went home. "Tuesday was when all my guys came to Tali's, every Tuesday night at eight p.m. Everybody knew it. The FBI knew it. They were always there. So I had the FBI for an alibi. But Milito's body was never found. "I made sure his wife had enough cash. I felt bad for her and the kids. They were why I had fought to keep him alive, even though her and Louie were getting close to a divorce. It cost me another twenty thousand to finish all the construction he was doing on his house. I told her that if she had any problems with anybody over anything, she should come immediately to me. Because sometimes there are assholes who will get their little brave pills because a guy is dead. "Even though the hit had to happen, I was really bothered by it. I liked Louie, and I loved his kids. John Gotti sensed that I was fucked-up over this hit. But he said, "This guy wasn't our friend. This was best for the family." "Louie wasn't no innocent. He was a made guy and a killer. He knew the rules, and he went against them. He had played a very dangerous game-and he lost." Thanks to Lynda and direction of her daughter, the families were able to make sure Sammy's money was distributed to them and not to him. Lynda's True Story about Louie's Murder & Comments on Sammy's book: As I read the chapter in Sammy’s book, "The Underboss", I wonder how come he gave Louie this whole chapter remarking how handsome he was, much handsomer than him. Anyone in the world is better looking than Sammy, this coming from his words. I am sure Peter Maas was just a tool but he’s dead so I can’t talk to him. Who knows why he wrote the book, of course. Sammy was not ‘made’ before Louie (read my book). Louie had to work on it to get Sammy accepted by Paul. I guess Paul did Louie a favor, a favor that killed 19 (that we know of) people. In that chapter they have Rizzo insulting people. Rizzo was not an insulting man and as far as John Rizzo Jr., Jay Rizzo (again read my book). His mother wanted her four sons to have nothing to do what the father was in. It was Rizzo who brought Louie in, not Toto. The LIES Sammy told in his book are so many, please! If you want to read The Underboss at this point be my guest and compare the lies. There are eight families who get royalties from the book, Sammy gets nothing. It will show you what a liar he is. He said he developed Gem Steel, NOT TRUE. It was Louie’s with the $60,000 from my condo in Florida that I sold, the Plaza Suite. Sammy used Louie, manipulated him to kill Fiala to keep the proceeds of the sale of the Plaza Suite (read my book p.396). When I read this it gets me sick. These were Louie’s friends, they would never put the bullet in his head. It would have gone another way first knowing Sammy’s M.O., one in the head and one under the chin. It’s the prosecutor who told me the only time Sammy shows any remorse is when he talks about his best friend, Louie Milito. Maybe before Sammy dies he will clean his soul by telling me what really happened. If not me someone who can tell me where is Louie’s body! Please let me close my eyes in peace. After Louie's Death: Deena watched for three days as three backhoes clawed the earth. "I felt like my insides were being ripped apart." She said. The body was never found. Where is Louie's body! (These memories haunt me, Louie is gone but not forgotten.) Deena is 28 now, a collage graduate expecting her first child. But she spent these last weeks in Laura Garofalo's cause. They worked from death certificates and phone directions. They left messages at last known numbers, last knows addresses and last known jobs for people who've never made themselves known. Some moved far away. A couple fell off into drug habits. Another can't talk to her kids. Deena kept calling. So did Laura. And in finding their fellowship, Laura found part of herself. A couple of weeks ago, she got a call from Pennsylvania. The woman's name was Shirley. On the evening of Aug. 5th, 1977, her son was on W. Eighth St. between Kings Highway and Highlawn Ave in Brooklyn. He was talking to a guy named Aida Candido, who'd had a fight with a guy named Sammy Gravano at a bar called Tallis. It was a drive-by Shotgun blast. Candido suffered a superficial wound. The deceased person's name was Alan Kaiser. He was big for his age, barely 10. He won a citywide art contest. For a brief while, his work could be seen at Brooklyn Museum. "Is this Laura Garofalo?" "Yes." "Well, my name is Shirley. My son is the Unidentified Male. Sammy blamed this murder on Louie, but hopefully one day I will prove differently. (Louie would have said something, like I am depressed something happened-I never heard about his.) I say you are innocent until found guilty and there is no evidence one way or another except Mr. Gravano's word, that's a joke. Lynda's Looking For a Closure: I have tried missing person John Walsh on A& E Bill Curtis Biography and anyone who listened and I get the same answer "We do not get involved with that kind of show". Well at this time I have known where to go but to depend on myself to try and find Louie before I die. So I might be able to go to a grave site like others. This is a part of American History and people should be told the truth. I think Louie would want it this way, and every daughter and husband no matter what the story is. When you disappear you disappear. I am sure Louie would do it for me. He would never stop looking. I am sure his friends would agree.the streets dont love you back
