A retired FBI agent who handled a notorious mafia hitman and secret FBI informant in the 1960s will be featured on Biography Channel’s Mobsters next week, reports the Sarasota Patch.
Former agent Lindley “Lynn” DeVecchio will discuss the handling of Colombo crime family capo Gregory Scarpa, known as “The Grim Reaper” in New York.
The series captures DeVecchio’s 30-year relationship with Scarpa as an informant, according to the Sarasota Patch.
Scarpa was serving time for murder when he died of AIDS in 1994.
