Amy Giordano: Married To The Mob, Not

Amy Giordano wasn't married to the mob, only perhaps being supported by it. Strange case. An infant turns up abandoned with a note in a Delaware parking lot. Time line

June 5: Voter registration card filled out, dated and signed by Amy Giordano.

June 7: Video surveillance from ShopRite supermarket in East Windsor shows Giordano, her married boyfriend, Rosario DiGirolamo, and their 11-month-old son, Michael, buying groceries.

June 8: Phone conversation between Giordano and her 6-year-old, who lives in New York City with the missing woman's ex-husband, her last known contact with anyone.

June 9: Michael DiGirolamo found abandoned, but unhurt, in the parking lot of a Newark, Del., hospital.

The baby's Father, who skipped to Milan and didn't return, despite having a return ticket, turns out to be married to another woman and living:

Monmouth County property records show Digirolamo and his family live in the previous home of the imprisoned consigliere, or second-in-command, of the DeCavalcantes, the New Jersey family whose members reportedly consider themselves to be the inspiration for the hit HBO series "The Sopranos."

A note left with the child was compelling. But did she write it? Seems a stretch to believe she'd leave her wallet and ID behind while driving to Delaware to abandon her child and take her own life. This one may end up filed under disorganized crime before it's over.

But she was last heard from June 8, when she talked by phone to her 6-year-old son who lives with her ex-husband in New York City. Her 11-month-old, Michael DiGirolamo, was discovered the next day in a hospital parking lot in Newark, Del., a handwritten note pinned to his diaper calling him "John Vincent" and saying his caregiver had no job or health insurance. "God have mercy on me," the anguished note read.

On June 18, her purse was found in the back of her bedroom closet in her third-floor walk-up, still containing her wallet and ID. It also contained a full pack of cigarettes; Giordano was a chain smoker.

"I can't connect all these dots and come up with a happy ending," said her landlord, Mike Vanderbeck. "The only way to connect the dots is to presuppose something bad happened to Amy."

Now the FBI and authorities in two states and Italy are involved in the case.
