Episode 171: Philly Mob Associate Roger Vella

The Sit Down: A Crime History Podcast

Today we delve into the wild story of "Crazy" Roger Vella, a young South Philly kid who idolized Joey Merlino. In the end he became Joey's driver, got involved with his own dirt and tried to frame Joey and his friends. That would lead to betrayal like most mob stories. In the first 30 or so minutes of the show I talked about the recent brawl involving a Philly mobster last week and the fallout from it. I then answered some of your questions on the Mafia.

The biography starts at around 35 minutes, but I urge you to listen to the whole show!
