Mafia in central PA

When I lived in South Central PA, I remember being told the mob was big in Gallitzen, but when I tried to google it I only found the Mafia Groceries or hair stylist stores in Altoona.

But this 2003 story in the Altoona Times
gives some information about a hitman turned stool pigeon with information on the Verilla crime family of Altoona in the 1970's.

nah, probably no connection with the other abuse and corruption stuff, except for the part that the missing DA is supposed to have been thrown in a mineshaft with a couple other guys who were hits by the druggies.

the problem, of course is most of the stuff I google is about the low level arrests, not how the trade is run in the area.

but this article is about the Baltimore to Altoona drug network that is the link between the two missing DA's cited in a previous essay.
