View all 8 ReflectionsIn doing some research on the 1957 attempted murder of Frank Costello by Vincent Gigante the name Charles Gagliodotto aka Chalootz came up. When he was 18 he was charged with the murder of Officer Sheehan as he investigated the robbery of a Jewish sacramental wine store. Gagliodotto became a prolific hit man for the Luciano and later Genovese family. He was reported to be barely five feet tall and sometimes dressed as a woman to get close to targets. In 1968 he murdered two fellow made men over an alleged debt and was himself murdered. RIP Officer Sheehan
