Theresa Ferrara
Theresa Ferrara (September 5, 1951 – February 10, 1979) was an Italian-American born in the Five Towns area of Long Island, New York. She worked with Lucchese crime family associates, and eventually became an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Ferrara was a distant relative of New Orleans crime family boss Carlos Marcello. As a young woman, Ferrara moved from Long Island to Ozone Park, Queens to pursue a career as a fashion model or actress.

With her natural blonde hair and deep suntan, Ferrara soon attracted the attention of Lucchese mob associate Tommy DeSimone. In 1972, Ferrara and the married DeSimone started an affair. Ferrara started frequenting mob hangouts such as Robert's Lounge in South Ozone Park, Queens, New York and later Henry Hill's The Suite in Queens. Around this time, Ferrara became a drug dealer, dealing small quantities of cocaine and quaaludes to DeSimone and other Lucchese mobsters. Ferrara also opened a mob-funded beauty salon in Bellmore, Long Island. Ferrara soon started dealing cocaine out of the salon itself. In summer 1977, Ferrara was arrested after selling drugs to an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agent. Faced with a lengthy jail sentence, Ferrara became a cooperating witness for the authorities. Ferrara also ran a crew of rip-off artists, including Stevie Weiss, Louie Galino, and two others. They would rob people who were in Ferrara's line of work, successful hair cutters who owned large money-making hair salons. The NYPD turned a blind eye to this, as they were told by the FBI to "leave it alone:" Ferrara was feeding them information on underworld activities and was therefore untouchable.
In 1978, Ferrara and mob associate Richard Eaton allegedly conspired to swindle the Lucchese family out of $250,000 worth of cocaine from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Ferrara and Eaton were also suspected of stealing a fair portion of money taken during the famous Lufthansa heist at John F. Kennedy Airport in Queens. None of this was ever proven by the FBI. However, in early 1979, Ferrara moved out of her downscale duplex in Queens into a thousand-dollar-a-month apartment that was in the prestigious North Shore Towers in Great Neck.
