New York Mob Hit Man Escapes Federal Custody, Officials Say (The New York Times)

With less than a year before he would likely be released, Dominic Taddeo did not return to a halfway house in Florida earlier this week, officials said.

“If you look back, he thinks big,” said Mr. Jenkins, recalling that Mr. Taddeo’s arrest on gun charges in the late 1980s was related to what federal prosecutors thought was a plot to break a Colombian drug lord out of an Illinois prison. In Western New York, that meant Buffalo, where the federal and local authorities battled the Magaddino crime family for decades. Those murders and attempts resulted in racketeering convictions, and a lengthy prison sentence.
