So at what point does Joey Ippolito become an informant in this case?

So what's really interesting is Joey's, you know, he comes back, he comes to L.A., opens the restaurant after getting out of that 1980s prison stint, becomes friendly with all these folks.

And then he gets busted again, this time in L.A. in 92 is when he's arrested.

And then late 93, he's convicted and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.

He's sent to a minimum security facility in Pensacola, Florida.

And then he escaped prison there in May of 1994, a few weeks before the murders.

He's on the lam for a year and several months, and he's picked up in New York in 1995.

What happened with this story and this apparent evidence? Yeah.
