Hey everyone, I’ve been delving into the case of John Costello, and one thing that's really been on my mind is the involvement of the DeMeo Crew. It's chilling to think about how deep their influence ran in Brooklyn back in the late 70s. It seems like John got caught up in something much bigger than himself, and the more I learn about the DeMeo Crew, the more I understand just how dangerous they were. I can only imagine how terrifying it must have been for John’s family to find out about his criminal ties and then to lose him in such a tragic way. It's a brutal reminder of how organized crime didn't just affect those directly involved in it but also cast a long shadow over their loved ones. In these kinds of cases, my thoughts often go out to the families who had to navigate not only their grief but also the fear and stigma attached to such violent crimes. Anyone else have thoughts on how organized crime impacted families emotionally during that era?

I've been thinking a lot about how terrifying it must have been for John Costello in those final moments. It's so sad to imagine someone so young getting involved with such dangerous people and paying with his life. The fact that he ended up in the trunk of his own car is chilling. I wonder about the people around him—did they know he was in deep with the DeMeo Crew? It's so tragic that fear can keep folks silent, and I can only imagine the agony his family must have gone through, wanting justice but knowing how powerful and ruthless those men were. It's such a stark example of how quickly things can turn south when you're involved with the wrong crowd. This case definitely underscores the fear and intimidation the DeMeo Crew wielded back then.
