Michael Falco was 30 when he was murdered after years of petty crime in Troy, New York. He and childhood friend Gary Evans had worked together on burglaries and the sale of stolen goods. According to later accounts, Evans came to believe Falco was skimming a larger share; told by an associate, Timothy Rysedorph, Evans fashioned a makeshift silencer and shot Falco in the roommates’ Troy apartment.

Falco was treated as a missing person for years until Evans, after his 1998 apprehension, led investigators to the grave and the remains were recovered.

Evans died by suicide on August 14, 1998, when he escaped custody during transport and jumped from the Troy-Menands Bridge into the Hudson River, so he never faced trial for the murders. Does anyone have memories of Falco from Troy or information that could shed more light on his life before 1985?
