Today I’m publishing Part Two of my three-part series on Henry “Boom Boom” Grecco and the Cleveland mob underworld. After disappearing on May 29, 1977, Grecco quickly became the focus of a murder investigation that led police from a bloodstained Toyota in Twinsburg to his remains in Hudson.
Part Two looks at the eyewitness who saw the aftermath of Grecco’s shooting, the evidence that led investigators to the culprit, and the falling out police believed had motivated the killing. By the end, however, a second and much larger explanation begins to emerge from FBI files.
Names and Places mentioned in Part Two: Henry “Boom Boom” Grecco, Nancy Spehar, John Nardi, James Paolucci, Dominick Bartone, Bob Cermak, Shorty Rivers, Andrew Vanyo, Joseph Bonarrigo, Allie Calabrese, Glenn Pauley, Kenneth Argie, Mario Durrant, Pasquale “Butchie” Cisternino, the Italian-American Citizens Club, Collinwood, and Guerino’s Restaurant.
Lastly, a warning that this post contains a black and white photo of human remains provided by the Cleveland Police Museum.
