Bob Cooley, the Rat of All Time

Bob cooley was pummelled in the press. He had hoped, perhaps naively, that his dirty past and other shortcomings would be eclipsed by the good he'd done. Bob wasn't the only one navigating this mess. His brother, joe cooley, was a police officer at the time. Denis says his bigger concern was, now that bob had vanished, that the mob might exact retribution on him and his family.
