Did the suspect really call the police in the NB case and taunt them? Because I never heard anything about that in the media at the time or in the years that follow, and I can't find anything about it online anywhere in recent articles.
Do you have a link?

I can't provide a link because it's nothing that was published. You may hear about it in the documentary.

This is a strong possibility. More likely than not. Its what a sociopath would do.

That's what he's doing. I am waiting for her to confirm, but she no longer wants to be involved, which is understandable.

I just finished re-reading a April 23, 1986 Newsday article. It is a follow up story of a major drug arrest that was reported on February 9, 1986. But the April story is not about following up the characters in the February story it is about how the investigation changed from a apparently successful narcotics case to a case of corruption of the SCPD and DA.
The principal actor in those stories is one Harry Feingold. As I told you in earlier posts it was Harry that bought a house in Oak Beach in 2000 for $225K and 4 years later sold it to Robert Stricoff for $825K. Commonly used sites for estimated value of recently advertised houses put the value of the house Stricoff bought at 425K. Stricoff secured 2 mortgages with a total of 700K. That house was quickly listed as a place one could send their checks to if they wanted to support a future candidacy of Steve Bellone.
A lot of strange things just happen at Oak Beach?

Vernon Geberth wondered why LE did not "hit that community when the bodies were found". The above is the answer to that. And it so happens Leanne was at a party at the Feingold house on OB.

Here are heavily abbreviated versions of both articles (I'm deleting a lot here as they're long but trying to leave names and locations for further sleuthing):

It Was All in the Family; Harry Feingold led a drug ring that policesaid supplied thousands of customers. He did it with family help.: [NASSAU AND SUFFOLK Edition]
By Maureen O'Neill and Richard C. Firstman. Newsday, Combined editions; Long Island, N.Y.[Long Island, N.Y]09 Feb 1986: 07.
...
The three-mile chase ended a five-year-long pursuit by the police. Harry Feingold's arrest that March afternoon broke up what prosecutors said was the most extensive drug dealership ever uncovered in Suffolk County...
Within hours of Harry's capture, police arrested his wife, Joanne, and his brothers Marc, then 23, and Michael, then 28, all on charges that they had conspired to distribute cocaine. And in Florida, the Feingolds' father, Irving, a 57-year-old catering chef married to a Colombian woman, was accused of being his sons' supplier and was extradited to New York.
Before spring's end, they and 26 other people - including a chiropractor, a Long Island Rail Road engineer, a rock-band manager and the son of a local politician - would plead guilty to involvement in the operation. Harry, Irving and Marc Feingold would all be sentenced to terms in state prison...
"They're not bad people," said Evalynn Feingold, Harry's mother, who lives in West Islip with Michael, a minor figure in the case who pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and was the only one of her sons not sentenced to state prison. Standing over a stove preparing chicken cutlets on a recent night, she talked about Harry, now 30, and Marc. "Why does anyone sell drugs? Greed. They were taking an easy way of making a living."
What follows is an account of how Harry Feingold and some of his friends made a living....

Evalynn and Irving Feingold moved with their three sons from Brooklyn to Curtin Avenue, West Islip, in 1965...
Irving Feingold had been in the Navy and later drove a cab, but soon after marrying he entered the catering trade of his father-in-law...
Irving's work often took him and his wife to hotels in the Catskills, where he would cook and she would wait on tables. Sometimes the family traveled and worked together, in the Catskills and in Florida...

When his 15-year-old girlfriend moved with her family to California. Harry, 18, followed her and married her in Tijuana, and they returned to West Islip...Harry spent two years in the Navy, in California and the Far East. After leaving the service, he bought a delicatessen and employed his mother and two brothers. But like his marriage, which lasted only a few years, the deli didn't work out...

Marc graduated from West Islip in 1980 and attended Canton College in upstate New York, where he obtained a degree in business administration. It is also where he first used cocaine..
While Marc was at college, his oldest brother was establishing himself in the drug trade...
By this time, Harry had already been dealing both marijuana and cocaine from a New York source, according to detectives. The big boost in his business came after 1980, when Irving Feingold divorced his wife, moved permanently to Hialeah, Fla., and married a Colombian woman...
Harry, whose mother describes him with pride as "a natural businessman," developed a purchasing, production and marketing system no less efficient than that of a fast-food outlet. Police said it went like this:
Three times a month, Irving Feingold purchased 2 to 6 kilograms - 4.4 to 13.2 pounds - of pure cocaine from a Colombian importer he knew in South Florida. Harry would dispatch a courier, usually Raymond Ovetsky, an old friend who lived on Central Park South, on a night flight to Miami to pick up the shipment. Ovetsky, a rock-band manager known more commonly as Arlo (the acronym of his initials, RLO), would fly back the following morning with the cocaine.
At first, Harry kept the cocaine in a safe in his house on Wampum Lane. But after a burglary in 1982 - police believe that cocaine was taken - Harry decided to establish a warehouse. He talked to his oldest friend, Tommy Cahill, a New York City sanitation worker who lived with his wife and four children on Center Chicot Avenue. A deal was struck: Harry would keep his inventory in a locked attache case in a locked part of Cahill's basement, near his woodworking shop. He would also keep a triple-beam scale and a device to heat-seal bags. He would have unlimited access to the basement.
In return, Cahill, himself a cocaine user, would get $200 a month and free cocaine...
Feingold kept careful books...

There was Leigh McGunnigle, a young chiropractor from Brooklyn...He was sentenced to 60 days in jail and five years' probation.
There was Michael Lynch, 37, owner of a sporting-goods store who operated softball leagues... was sentenced to a 1-to-3-year term. There were Patrick Meade of Ocean Beach and James Marthen of Smithtown, both of whom worked in real estate. There was Frank Van Dyke, who lived in Manhattan, and Jay Jarboe of Oakdale, who was known as Jaybird. All pleaded guilty to attempted-conspiracy charges and were sentenced to brief terms in the Suffolk County jail...
Harry lived there with his second wife, Joanne, whom he had married in the summer of 1982. The house was on a cul de sac on Great South Bay, in a section called Magoun Landing..
Harry had a flamboyant lifestyle... He visited his circuit of bars, in West Islip and Manhattan, often arriving in a limousine. Sometimes, he played "celebrity bartender" at one of his hangouts, Grand Central Station in Bay Shore...
In Hialeah, meanwhile, Irving Feingold was apparently enjoying life as a drug middleman...
Marc Feingold's group, however, was more porous. And after police had spent four years on his brother's trail, their case began to move in the spring of 1984. They arrested someone who told narcotics detectives Coletto and McGovern that he had bought his cocaine from an auto-body worker named Brian Soltan, and that Soltan's source was Marc Feingold. The informant arranged a sale between Soltan and an undercover detective. When the three met, the detective said later, Soltan told him that he had to go get the cocaine. The informant prompted him: "You gotta go to Feingold's?"...
In August, 1984, Harry needed someone to make a pickup, and Billy Bagdanoff needed a manifold for his Dodge Charger. Bagdanoff, 18, was a local teenager who did landscaping at Harry's house. When Feingoldoffered him $500 to pick up a package in Miami, he accepted...


1/8U.S. Probes Handling of Drug Case 1/4By Robert E. Kessler andRex Smith Federal investigators are seeking records of a major1985 Suffolk narcotics case as part of an ongoing probe of alleged: [NASSAU AND SUFFOLK Edition]
Newsday, Combined editions; Long Island, N.Y. [Long Island, N.Y]23 Apr 1986: 07.
Federal authorities were drawn to the case, according to sources familiar with the investigation, by allegations of selective prosecution and improper use of telephone wiretaps, including the possible erasure of wiretap tapes.
Legal sources said the move represents a significant widening of the federal probe. "This is not what we would consider to be a logical progression of their investigation from what they've been given already," said a Suffolk law-enforcement official.
In addition to Harry Feingold, 30 others pleaded guilty to involvement in the drug ring...
But in papers filed with State Supreme Court Justice George F.X. McInerney last summer - before all of the defendants avoided trials through plea-bargain agreements - defense lawyers complained about investigative techniques used by police and prosecutors.
The documents allege what Marvin Zevin of Mineola, the lawyer for Harry Feingold, referred to in other court papers as "discrepancies on the tapes." Bruce Sikora of Bay Shore, the lawyer for Feingold's wife, Joanne, contended in court papers that "one tape was entirely blank" when the tapes were turned over to defense lawyers in July.
The papers also note, "It was a representative of the district attorney's office who first stated that a relative, friend or acquaintance of a member of the Suffolk County district attorney's office was allegedly involved with the crimes charged" in the Feingold case...
But Henry attacked rumors linking anyone in his office, the police or their families to the case. "It's a fiction," he said in a telephone interview...
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Cunningham said that the material being subpoenaed is needed for the "ongoing federal investigation into law enforcement in Suffolk County - an investigation that was initiated at the request of the Suffolk district attorney." He declined further comment.
Henry said his office would cooperate and would ask that any records sealed by court order be opened to the FBI...
The FBI and the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern New York district began probing Suffolk law-enforcement last month amid allegations that two narcotics detectives were skimming cocaine seized in narcotics raids for their own use. It was later alleged that records were altered so the son of Chief of Detectives John Gallagher could receive preferential treatment in the courts after being arrested on a cocaine charge.

 
Harry Feingold went to prison for drug dealing. He became a *advertiser censored* king after his release. It was about that time the residents of OB said " welcome to the neighborhood."
 
What I found very interesting about the above stories is they started off with a bang and ended up as a mystery.
You had Feingold and Family arrested by the Suffolk DA office that was then led by Ray Perini. This was supposed to be a good thing – it turned into a fiasco. After the apparent successful arrests and convictions of the Feingold Family and another 30 or so individuals one would think it was great work by the SCPD and DA. But it appears it didn’t end that way. What appears to have happened is the FEDS stepped looking for corruption on the part of the PD and DA.
If my information is correct the FEDS took over from SCPD/DA and put Harry in a federal prison. This may have been the beginning of the call for the NYS SIC investigation that has Perini pretty much as the leading character in that 197 page document.
During this time little Stevie, Bobby, and Richie Boy are all growing up in the same neighborhood in Islip. Steve and Bobby were such good friends they both joined the Army together after they graduated from college.
Harry’s brother Marc seems to have opened a business on Higbie Lane., Islip right next to the liquor store owned and operated by the Brewer family.
Harry gets out of jail and it appears he changes his primary occupation to that of a movie producer. He is involved with adult movies. He had a lot of his new found business on the Internet showing off his stable of gals, including, Russian Brides. In 2000, Harry officially returns to LI and buys a house on Oak Beach. Keeps it for four years and sells it to Bellone’s buddy Bobby in a financial transaction that looks HIGHLY suspicious. The first thing Bobby and Steve appear to do is to list the new house as an address where you can send checks to Friends of Steve Bellone.
IMO: ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO SUFFOLK COUNTY CORRUPT POLITICS.
 
Many times there is a translation required to understand the true story. Chief Gallagher's son was not a drug dealer he was an informant. The IA boss clipped for soliciting prostitute is not a sex fiend he was conducting secret investigation unbeknownst to others. And of course Burke's story wasn't a home invasion or unlawful imprisonment it was a love story. Why was Lt. Murphy a murder suspect well the possiblities are endless.
 
This may not actually be the case, Leanne picked out a different house in OB then the one Feingold owned.

Is there anything to suggest there was only one party? Whoever organised it may have experience of organising others.

Whats this about LH seeing bisset a week before his possible suicide? I say possible because with spota and burke running things like the russian kgb, theres no doubt they would clip bisset and bob lanieri if somehow they became a threat to their house of cards.. somethings very fishy about the bisset/lanieri suicides. Especially if they were connected with burke and his peeps.

anxiety killer said.they had proof of this, yes please. i'd love to see it. thank you.
 
Would you like proof? I can provide!

Yes, anxiety killer, I'd love the proof.

What is the significance of LH going to a wedding with Bissette one week before the suicide of Bissette?

Im missing that point there.
Who's wedding was it and do you know where it was? was it at....like....oh say.....The Oheka Castle?
or anything of significance.

you very well might be onto something.

thank you.

I'll have to black out the phone numbers so there is no modsnip. His number is public though on his website, so I don't want to violate any rules. But hold on.
