I'd like to see the whole pic!

I found a bit more information doing searches and asking someone who has some experience in covering this type of story. I can't give out too much that would identify me or him.
The Monahans lived in Montreal and were prominent, but somewhat sketchy.
Carol got shot dead with her boyfriend Ricciardi, her sister overdosed on coke provided by gangster Ernie Nittolo, associated with the Irish Mob.
Two other siblings, brothers, don't know their names. I may be able to find out.
Her husband, Harvey McClintock lives in Florida and is in Real Estate.
