Murder Mobile Tied to Old Mafia Family
Carlos Marcello died in 1993. A 1998 Ford pulled over for a traffic stop one night in early May in Old Metairie, a major part of the New Orleans Metropolitan Area, may have opened a can of worms for law enforcement officials in the region. That is because it seems to indicate a Mafia family, considered long dead, may in fact be quite active.The van, which had stolen license plates, was driven by two men, one of whom was the son of the former underboss of the Carlos Marcello family . When Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies pulled the van over, they quickly discovered a disturbing scene in back. They had stumbled upon a virtual killing machine.
