For Missy, who taught me how to love
THIS BOOK could not be written without the cooperation of the Manhattan District Attorneys office. My thanks to Robert Morgenthau, who allowed me full access to the Homicide Investigation Unit and never tried to influence what I wrote, and to Barbara Jones, whose counsel and trust were integral to the conception of this project.
Im also indebted to the members, past and present, of the Homicide Investigation Unit and to the many men and women who played a part in the Wild Cowboys case. Virtually all of them spoke to me without hesitation, and were unstinting with their time and their efforts to remember details, some of which were extremely painful. They include, but are not limited to: Jessica DeGrazia, William Hoyt, Ed Stancyzk, Walter Arsenault, Ellen Corcella, the Hon. Fernando Camacho, Dan Brownell, the Hon. Gregory Carro, Deborah Hickey, Luke Rettler, Steve Fitzgerald, Terry Quinn, Steve Michard, Jose Flores, Angel Garcia, Robert Tarwacki, Nixon Fredrick, Garry Dugan, Mark Tebbens, Pat Lafferty, Andrew Rosenzweig, Joe Pernice, Gerry Dimuro, Charles Rorke, Eddie Benitez, Kevin Bryant, Barry Kluger, Ed Freedenthal, Don Hill, Linda Nelson, Lori Grifa, the Hon. Leslie Crocker Snyder, Alex Calabrese, Teresa Matushaj, Rocco DeSantis, the CruzMorales family, and the Cargill family, whose wisdom and candor are nearly as great as the loss they suffered at the hands of the Cowboys.
I am further indebted to Ron Goldstock, Paul Schectman, Warren Murray, Charles Blakey, Arthur Eisenberg, Richard Emery, Gerald Lefcourt, Richard Esposito, William Bratton, John Maple, John Miller, Mike Giulian, and John Timoney for their valuable insight into the legal system and New Yorks law enforcement community.
On a personal note, my thanks to the many friends, family, and colleagues whose generous advice and support over the years led to the writing of this book, among them: Judith Daniels, Clay Felker, Richard Babcock, Peter Foges and Gully Wells, Anna, John Heilperin, Charles Bennett, Virginia White, Irik and Anne Marie Sevin, and the women in my life; my mother and daughters, Billie, Fiona, Sabrina, and Natasha Stone; my wife and love Pamela Balfour; and Elaine Kaufman, Dora Flowers and Alberta Brown.
Finally, my special thanks to my agent, Mark Reiter, without whose drive this book would still be an idea; to Linda Steinman, who worked tirelessly on the legal aspects of the manuscript; and to my editor, Roger Scholl, whose extraordinary craft and dedication are responsible for whatever good is contained in these pages.
