Hey its me! Look, you never told me I was going to be the go-to guy for the press. I had to talk to some guy from The Times. I don't think it went too good. I'm not a talker, I don't like it.

Phone-in orders
April 13, 2008

- Frank Notaro expresses anxiety in the April 1 voicemail, regarding an interview he did with The Gotham Times's James Levine.
- On April 6, Notaro voiced his disapproval of the new ad on Ccfabg.org.
- Notaro's voicemail was discovered and accessed, revealing three messages on April 9. From that information and Notaro's bank statement, it can be assumed that Notaro planned to take his entire family out of Gotham and into hiding. Glenn Barhyte had been trying to meet with Notaro via email and managed to secure a meeting on April 9 on the Liberty Ferry. However, Notaro did not show up out of fear.
- In desperation and fear for the safety of his family, Notaro planned to confront Candoloro at Rossi's Deli, but after Notaro's partner Cisneros was killed (along with his entire family) in a car bomb recorded on the April 13 voicemail, he snaps and takes hostages.
