Anthony Buddy Luongo was 47 when he disappeared from Brooklyn in December 1986 after telling his wife he was going to a meeting there. At the time Luongo was a powerful captain in the Lucchese crime family and was reportedly being considered as a successor to imprisoned boss Anthony Tony Ducks Corallo. Luongo was a protégé of underboss Salvatore Tom Mix Santoro and associated with the family’s Bronx faction.

It is reported he was shot and killed in a Brooklyn home and his body was never recovered. No formal charges were filed for his death, though law enforcement were said to be certain of Amuso and Casso’s involvement.

Does anyone have memories of Luongo from Brooklyn in 1986 or information about where he might have been taken after that meeting?
