Over the course of four decades, the SFPD refused to let the victim's family access any evidence related to this case. Inspector Frank Falzon, the lead detective, lied to the family about key facts and never revealed the prime suspect’s true identity. More than 50 years after the murder, the SFPD continues to obfuscate and cover up the truth. They refuse to run DNA tests on physical evidence, answer any questions from the family, or respond to the media.
The suspect, Eugene Richard Imbrogno, Jr., a known mafia associate, and likely an FBI confidential informant, was never confronted about numerous lies told to detectives, including his whereabouts at the time of the murder.
Eyewitnesses were never brought in for a police lineup or to see if they could pick Imbrogno out of an array of photographs (as is customary). And worse still, Imbrogno was allowed to intimidate witnesses with no repercussions–he even smashed one of Andy's roommates in the face with a golf club, fracturing his skull (no charges were filed).
