Robert P. Matonis, known as Bobby, was 53 when he was killed in Harrison, New Jersey on October 17, 1997.

Later disclosures by an associate turned government informant, Pete the Crumb Caprio, implicated hitman Philip Philly Fay Casale in multiple murders, and Casale ultimately confessed to killing Matonis and another associate, Billy Shear. Casale was later sentenced to 20 years in prison in connection with his confessed crimes.

Anyone who knew Matonis, his movements in 1997, or who has information about the Harrison criminal scene at that time is asked to come forward.
