Limitations on murder charges?
The 60 didn't look right to me, but I didn't check the maffs. Thanks.
She wasn’t murdered...
This DeGennaro scumbag needs to be tracked down and dealt with very harshly for his vicious attack, mentally, on this poor woman survivor...
What a creep!
Frank DeGennaro...she should have her son go talk to him.
What are favorites here for the Son of Sam films?
The Bronx Is Burning (2007) combined the Yankee pennant drive with the ongoing murders. John Turturro excellent as Billy Martin. Pretty good.
Spike Lee’s Summer of Sam (1999) was very good with an outstanding soundtrack. Background of the sleazy, dark underside of New York.
I was thinking I’m not 60 and I remember it.
She needs to toughen up - he only shot her 3x with a .44!
Leave that old woman alone! This unwanted encounter only stirs up all the terrible memories she has spent nearly 50 years trying to push back.
5X
I didn’t check, but I assumed it was 48 years. I vaguely remember the murders happening in 1977. But I suppose the first one was in 1976?
It should read Pistol Packing Mamma.
If one does a search on the subject, there is a pretty compelling case made, that these killings were committed by a satanic group. When the cops closed in on them, David Berkowitz took the fall, since it was his car that received the parking ticket, the night of the final murder, which was the biggest clue, to their identity.

It is interesting that Joe Savino had no problem remembering what he talked about on the phone in Nina’s restaurant with his mistress Rosiland (setting up a date for the following evening), but couldn’t remember ANYTHING he spoke about with Richard “Richie” Nacleario when he was interviewed by police. Anyone in law enforcement would find that contradiction highly suspicious. I’m sure the NYPD was aware of Naclerio’s numerous mob connections. He was part of Gennaro Crispino’s inner circle. He was involved with the Gambino gang’s kickback and money laundering operations in the NYC construction industry through Naclerio Contracting. It seems likely Joe Savino was calling Naclerio LATE at night from Nina’s to see if Naclerio had heard anything about any possible hits on himself or his family. Remember, two of Joe’s offices had already been attacked in the past according to the NYPD. It seems he had been angering some dangerous people, who were determined to send him increasingly serious warnings. And a close associate of Joe’s, _________, who was involved with the Lucchese crime family (and their narcotics trafficking) had a mob partner, Anthony Accetturo, who ran afoul of Lucchese bosses Vittorio Amuso and Anthony Casso when Accetturo was caught skimming funds. They put out a murder contract on both Accetturo and his WIFE. So wives were not off limits.

On 9 April 1976, at 11:00 pm as reported by the New York Times, Wendy Savino was shot in the parking lot at Nina’s restaurant in the Bronx. Wendy Savino and her husband, Joesph A. Savino Jr., took separate vehicles, he left before his wife, and following his departure, she was shot multiple times with a .32 caliber. Her injuries were significant, causing permanent damage to her face and one eye, but she fortunately survived the shooting.
Following the shooting, it was reported by multiple media sources that witnesses saw the shooter flee with other men: the Daily News, the Olympian, the Kansas City Star, the Lubbock-Avalanche Journal, the Springfield Ledger Press, just to name a few. At no time did the NYPD reach out of the media sources to ask for retractions or corrections related to the reported witness statements. Nina’s was on a highly trafficked road.
Due to her husband’s heated political campaign against a local democrat, Wendy Savino feared she might have been targeted, feared for her life, and subsequently moved out of the county to Brittan. When a grand jury was most likely called a few month later to possibly indict a suspect, which is suspected due to Wendy Savino being issued a subpoena, she refused questioning. Which begs the question: Who exactly was Joseph A. Savino Jr?. . .
Joseph A. Savino Jr. was a prior NYPD officer, was a partner at the Wakefield Detective Bureau, owned an insurance company, as well as other businesses, and was a Republican party councilman in the Bronx. Joseph A. Savino Jr. also has a well documented criminal record.
In Daniel Ilich’s “The Briefcase Man Volume II,” he writes about the shooting at Nina’s restaurant, noting it was well known that Joseph A. Savino Jr. was involved with the mafia. Ilich knew about Savino’s background because he had security clearance and purchased a restaurant of Joseph A. Savino Jr when he ran into trouble with the law in the late 60s.
Ilich writes Nina’s was a well-known hang out for the five families, the five borough district attorneys, politicians, and other influential people. It was a restaurant where long business meetings were held; large business transactions were taken care of with a simple handshake. Nina’s was owned by Joe Greco, Mike Greco’s twin brother. Mike owned Mike’s Deli in the Bronx, a popular establishment and was also involved in the filming of “A Bronx Tale” and “Six Degrees of Separation”. Nina’s was well known for a mobster that was found hanging on a meat hook in the kitchen. When Joe Greco was questioned by the police, he said he didn’t know who did it or how the body got there. Ilich writes this added to the mystique of Nina’s making it a popular dining destination. . .
The Wakefield Detective Bureau also wasn’t short of scandals. While a Secretary of State search for the Wakefield was completed, it appears the state of New York has purged the documents because no incorporation documents can be found. But, an appellate document was located on the bureau.
In the 50s, one partner, Calvello, was brought up on charges — sex with minors — appearing as though human trafficking possibly was involved. The girls traveled to New York from a Florida reformatory school when they were about 15-years old, were provided with makeup, clothes, and an apartment. . .
Patrick J. Twomey is the father-in-law of Richard Sperazza, one of David Berkowitz’s prior business associates. It has been established by witness statements that Richard Sperazza drove the get-away car when the Neto dog was shot. Richard Sperazza married Patrick J. Twomey’s daughter in the 90s, they all attended the same church, which begs the question: How long did Richard Sperazza and Patrick J. Twomey know one another?
Other scandals the Wakefield Detective Bureau has been involved in include the Donnie Brasco, Shah jewelry heist. The Wakefield Detective Bureau provided protective service for the Shah’s son, Reza Pavlavi.
In other news reports, it is stated that Joseph A. Savino’s office was burned down in a suspected arson two years before the shooting. And five weeks before the shooting, his office was vandalized. It is not clear whether the office was the Wakefield Detective Agency, his insurance office, or his political office.
Other Savino family scandals include Joseph A. Savino Jr’s father who was brought up on bribery charges for plastering contracts in the early 70s and his son, Joseph J. Savino, who was involved in the bribery of a mayoral election in NYC and was subsequently disbarred.
In the late 70s, shortly after Wendy Savino was shot, Joseph A. Savino Jr. and his parents filed a lawsuit against E.F. Hutton for fraud and failure of fiduciary duty. Over $300k. It appears based on this document alone that Joseph A. Savino was experiencing financial difficulties. There is also a latter lawsuit filed by American Transit Insurance for misappropriation of reinsurance premium payments, well over $500k, in the name of Joseph A. Savino Jr. It is unclear if this is the same Joseph A. Savino Jr., but the geographic region is the same and the lawsuit was also filed against two corporate entities that were controlled by him. The author attempted to gain access to the full appellate document, but the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, First Department only archives back to 2003 and it was not available on Westlaw. . .
Quite interesting. Thank you !
