The Genesis of a Deadly Plot
The origins of the Sarasota Assassination Society can be traced back to the seedy underbelly of organized crime in Florida. The group's mastermind was William "Bill" Crocker, a shady businessman with a criminal past. Crocker, driven by greed and a desire to eliminate his rivals, devised a cunning plan to consolidate his power in the Sarasota area.
Crocker recruited a motley crew of accomplices, including Robert "Deacon" Jones, a former Green Beret and hitman, and John "Big John" Rosasco, a burly ex-cop. Together, they formed the Sarasota Assassination Society, a secretive organization dedicated to carrying out Crocker's deadly orders.
A Trail of Murder and Mystery
The first victim of the Sarasota Assassination Society was Gerald "Jerry" Umen, a wealthy businessman who had crossed Crocker's path. Umen was gunned down in his own home in 1981, the first in a string of assassinations that would plague Sarasota for years to come.
As the body count rose, the Sarasota Police Department struggled to uncover the identities of the killers. The victims were seemingly unrelated, and the motives behind their murders remained shrouded in mystery. However, the meticulous nature of the crimes and the use of silencers suggested the involvement of professional hitmen.
The Investigation Unravels
Despite the secrecy surrounding the Sarasota Assassination Society, rumors of their existence began to circulate. An anonymous tip led the police to a safe deposit box belonging to Crocker, which contained a chilling list of potential targets. Among the names were several key figures in Sarasota's business and political circles.
The investigation gained momentum as the police pieced together the puzzle. Wiretaps, undercover surveillance, and witness testimonies revealed the scope of the Sarasota Assassination Society's deadly operations. Crocker, Jones, and Rosasco were identified as the ringleaders of the organization.
The Trial and Aftermath
In 1985, Crocker, Jones, and Rosasco were brought to trial for conspiracy to commit murder. The trial captivated the nation, exposing the twisted minds behind the Sarasota Assassination Society. The jury found the trio guilty, and they were sentenced to life in prison.
The trial and the subsequent convictions brought closure to the string of assassinations that had terrorized Sarasota. However, the legacy of the Sarasota Assassination Society lingered, leaving an enduring scar on the city's history.
A City Haunted by Its Past
Today, Sarasota is a thriving and peaceful city, yet the shadows of the past still linger. The memories of the Sarasota Assassination Society serve as a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface of paradise. The story of their deadly plot continues to fascinate true crime enthusiasts, a testament to the enduring power of greed, murder, and the enduring resilience of the human spirit.
