HW 56792 PG 92-226 It was noted by the women that there have been no unusual visitors at the aforementioned residence and no large congregations of people at any time. Mrs. LA ROCCA does not leave the house for any extended period of time and her metallic blue 1963 Olds-. mobile is usually driven by her husband, who prefers it to the Cadillac belonging to him. IL. Other Matters Relating to Personal History. and the: Current Welfare of LA ROCCA “And his Relatives: ns On November . 17, 1963, ROBERT JAMES FESSLER was interviewed at his residence by SA ROBERT A, VOEGE, He advised that his daughter still plans to go through with the divorce she filed against the adopted son of SEBASTIAN JOHN LA ROCCA,.and that she has moved back.into the FESSLER residence at RD. #2, Baden, Pa. He stated that by the same token, LA ROCCA has moved back into his father's home at Ingomar, Pa., and is still attending the Point Park Junior College in Pittsburgh where he ts pursuing a course in Business Administration. FESSLER ‘advised that his: daughter is not seek-' ine anything. unusual ,"'as far as financial remuneration is concerned, in this ‘divorce proceeding, but will be simply content to secure the divorce and a monthly sum for the care ‘of her child. He said that she is not bitter in any way, but that she has suffered from extreme mental cruelty. He added that the couple has been incompatible for some period. of, time and that he. believes that divorce is probably the best for all concerned. He added that he respects the wishes of his daughter in this regard. Docld: 323327644 Page 4 oe ere ae pe ne ee . >
HW 56792 PG 92-226 FESSLER advised that the home purchased and fur- nished by SEBASTIAN JOHN LA ROCCA for the couple in the North Hills section of Pittsburgh, which. is located on Guenevere Drive, has been sold by LA ROCCA, and that this sale ostensibly included some of the furniture and fixtures in the home in addition to the carpeting and drapes. He understands that the adopted son of LA ROCCA is endeavoring to transfer his junior college credits to a bona fide four year educational institution, and has applied at such places as the University of Miami, Duquesne University, the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh, and California State Teachers College in California, Pa. He has no idea what he wants to do in the future, but is being constantly badgered by his father who wants him to obtain a college degree. FESSLER person- ally helieves that the boy is not intelligent enough to. satisfactorily pass his grades in this regard. . FESSLER further ‘advised that his daughter is presently unemployed, but is seeking some king of employ- ment in the reception field so that she may be able to .. further support her young son and the elder FESSLERS with whom she. plans to live. He has gained the impression that she has been completely brainwashed by the LA ROCCA family and that she no longer has any respect for law enforcement authorities and the FBI in particular. He does not believe she would furnish any information whatsoever concerning her relation- ship with the adopted son of LA ROCCA or with any of the. members of the LA ROCCA family. He pointed out that she has been extremely evasive in answering questions that he has asked her and he believes an’ interview by the FBI would have a similar effect. He added that the elder LA ROCCA ‘has given his blessing to the divorce and feels that it is probably better for’ all concerned. i He understands that LA ROCCA has advised his adopted son to remarry as soon as he locates another girl - who is to his liking and that he will finance any obliga- tions brought about by his son's involvement with other women. -4 Docld: 323327644 Page 5

Va., as closed by Special Agents of the FBI during February,., 1963. TEEMER believed that he had enough money to carry him through the remainder of his life.
