Here's something interesting. I'm re-read Lucky Luciano's semi-autobiography. He told most of his life's story to an author, shortly before he died. There is absolutely no mention, I mean nothing at all, about Thelma Todd. He doesn't even talk about being in California around that time. He certainly doesn't talk about Thelma Todd being his girlfriend. So, it's got me thinking either he never was involved with Thelma Todd, or he conveniently chose not to mention her, because of the implications involved. Which is possible. Luciano swears up and down in this book, that after he was arrested for selling drugs as a teenager, he never sold them again. So, there could be some omissions in his life's story, he chose to leave out.
I still don't believe Thelma Todd's death was a mob hit. Not their style. If they whacked her, they would've made sure to hide the body. Plus, I'm still convinced that mob men just didn't kill females back then. They may have done some evil things, but they did have a certain "code" to follow, back then.
