Frank Barracuda Frank Sindone, 52, was found shot to death and stuffed in plastic garbage bags in South Philadelphia on October 29, 1980. Reports say his body, with three gunshot wounds to the head, was discovered behind a shopping center or variety store only blocks from his home and described as fresh, indicating he had been killed shortly before being found.

Sindone was a loanshark and soldier tied to the Bruno crime family, known for illegal gambling and debt collection. His death came months after the March 21, 1980 assassination of boss Angelo Bruno; Sindone is described in accounts as one of the men aligned with consigliere Antonio Tony Bananas Caponigro in the plot against Bruno. The killing of Bruno was said to have taken place without approval from the Mafia Commission, and several alleged conspirators, including Caponigro and John Johnny Keys Simone, were killed in the subsequent retaliation.

If anyone knew Sindone or has information about his killing, please share what can help clarify what happened.
