by Phil Carlo
Philip Carlo was born and raised in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, where he earned a Ph.D. in the ways of the street. At the age of fourteen he witnessed a good friend being shot to death in broad daylight by a Colombo hit team and was himself shot in the forehead with a .22 in a gang war. Carlo escaped a life of crime by writing about it with unusual insight.
He is the author of the bestsellers The Night Stalker, about notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez and The Ice Man, about infamous Mafia contract killer Richard Kuklinski. His most recent publication, Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss examines the life of Anthony Casso, currently serving 13 consecutive life sentences in a federal prison. Diagnosed with ALS in 2006, Phil’s latest book Killers: An Odyssey into the world of Murder focuses on his experience with this deadly disease. Phil recently provided this 4 minute film clip for ALS WORLDWIDE.
