Former Contractor Who Set Up Quadruple Homicide Sentenced To Prison
The Orange County businessman helped Briarcliff cop-turned-drug-dealer Nick Tartaglione get to an associate he thought had cheated him.

I moved to Ossining from Maryland many years ago and am still amazed at the system of government in New York. After 20 years I moved up the river to Croton-on-Hudson (a community I covered for The Journal News back in the day), then in 2014 I moved to Carmel, and now I live in Mahopac. I skewed Brown University's four-year completion stats by taking a semester off to find myself. I spend my spare time studying theology, which amuses my family and friends. I sing in the Hudson Chorale. Reach me at lanning.taliaferro@patch.com
