MANOCCHIO in the Providence area for information concerning

his possible whereabouts.

Will maintain contact with sources concerning

location of subject:

ADMINISTRATIVE

The lengthy investigative period is noted, however

the case has been

kept in a pending status through

frequent contact with sources concerning location of

the subject.

As the Bureau is aware, most recent substantial

information concerning the location of subject MANOCCHIO

indicated that he was probably in France.

The Bureau

is

also aware of the fact that the Attorney General of the

State of Rhode Island is not eager to go to trial on the

subject MANOCCHIO for conspiracy to murder because the

witness for the State of Rhode Island is not as strong

a witness at this time as he was when the other co-con-

spirators were tried and convicted and the Attorney

General would prefer not to have to try subject MANOCCHIO

unless MANOCCHIO is located within the United States.

The Attorney General

of Rhode Island stated that he did

not desire to extradite MANOCCHIO from France.

The Bureau should note that the Boston Division

is continuing to maintain contact with informants and is

continuing to contact members of the subject's family in

an effort to learn the location of the subject MANOCCHIO.

On 8/19/74, BS I663-PC advised that ROBERT

• FAIRBROTHER, FRANK VENDITUOLI, ANTHONY SCIAVONE, ann

RUDOLPH SCIARRA, recently saw LOUIS MANOCCHIO.

On 9/12/74, JERRY DE LUCA (protect identity)

advised that he had heard that. MANOCCHIO had been buried

alive in Houlton, Maine. : DE LUCA advised that he had

heard that MANOCCHIO had been dead for over a year and

that an individual named MEROLLA and an individual named

BIANCO had been responsible for the death. of MANOCCHIO.
