SCRANTON, Pa. It s been 40 years since Scranton School Board President Tommy Genova was killed in the parking lot of the district administration building.
He was 44 years old and left behind a wife and four young children.
All these years later, his murder remains a mystery.
His daughter Lori Macciocco remembers January 26, 1981, like it was yesterday. One minute, I was playing Atari that I got for Christmas and watching Little House on the Prairie that came on on Monday night, I kissed my father goodbye, and then the next minute I m kissing him on the operating table of a hospital. Cold. Dead, Macciocco said.
