Program Description

Event Details

Calling all true crime fans! Mike Vecchione, former Chief of the Rackets Division in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, rips the curtain back on the world of illegal body brokers. Mr. Vecchione investigated and prosecuted Dr. Michael Mastromarino, a well-to-do oral surgeon who made back-alley deals with funeral homes for tissue and bone of the recently deceased, which he in turn sold illegally to medical supply companies. Mr. Vecchione will share this and other stories about this gruesome and shadowy underworld. This event is brought to you by the LI Crime Expo.
