“I found out she was in Philadelphia. She was supposed to go from Philadelphia to Florida, back home. She didn’t take that flight,” the sister told NBC News, adding that police had found recordings of DiDonato staying at a Las. Vegas hotel late last week.
“And then we found out she was in Vegas. We didn’t believe it was true because we didn’t know anyone who knew she would be in Vegas. We didn’t know she knew anyone in Vegas .”
DiDonato, a cousin of murdered gangster Frank “Frankie Flowers” D’Alfonso, appeared on Season 5 of “Mob Wives,” which aired on VH1 from 2011 to 2016.
