A MURDER PLOT: Single mother Lee Ann Armanini worked as a bartender in a strip joint in Long Island when she got pregnant by Paul Riedel, owner of a health club in Arnityville, Long Island. In 1998, Paul did the right thing and married her. After an unhappy marriage Lee Ann left Riedel in 2000. She moved to Florida and took up with a mob-connected hood named Ralph "Rocco" Salierno. Together, with the help of Lee Ann's lesbian mother, they plotted Riedel's murder in order to get his money and ownership of the health club. . .
A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY: But Salierno murdered the wrong man - Alexander Algeri, Riedel's lifelong friend and business partner who bore an uncanny resemblance to Riedel and even drove the same kind of vehicle, a Ford Explorer.
