Dietl's lifelong friendship with Rich La Cassa (Mike McGlone) helps. The ranking cappo of one of the biggest organized crime families in the country. Richie gives Bo access to the names and addresses he need to solve the crime. This connection also puts Sietl under suspicion of the OCB and FBI agent Jean Devlin.
