For two days in a row people connected to the search for Connecticut homicide suspect Peter Manfredonia have used the media to deliver messages of support to the 23-year-old UConn senior.
Click here or here for those stories.
Press the play button as The Valley Indy speaks with retired NYPD Detective Sgt. Joseph L. Giacalone about the messaging being used to try to convince Manfredonia to turn himself in.
Giacalone is an adjunct professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
He was the executive officer of the 110th Precinct Detective Squad in Queens, the commanding officer of the Bronx Cold Case Squad, the director of the NYPD Homicide School, and the commanding officer of the Bronx Cold Case Squad.
He retired from the force in 2012.
Anyone with information on Manfredonia, such as his whereabouts or information about the cases, should call Connecticut State Police Troop C at 860 – 896-3200 or the FBI at 1 – 800-CALL FBI (225‑5324).
