Disappearance

Zizzo disappeared after leaving his home on August 31, 2006; he was last seen outside a Melrose Park restaurant where his car was found after a missing person's report was made by his wife.[3][4] He is presumed murdered,[5][6] although the FBI is also considering the possibility he went into hiding.[4]

Investigation

Theories on why Zizzo may have been targeted include fears he might testify against the Outfit as well as an ongoing feud with Capo Michael Sarno, whom he was supervising.[4][6][7]

At the time of his disappearance, law enforcement believed Zizzo was the underboss of the Chicago Outfit as he was third in command in the 1990s.[2] There is still a $10,000 reward in place for information leading authorities to Zizzo, dead or alive.[1] The FBI considers Joseph Andriacchi a prime suspect in the disappearance of Zizzo.[8]
