Mr. Kaplan's most gripping testimony, however, was the account in which he told how Mr. Eppolito, 57, and Mr. Caracappa, 64, had taken part in the contract killings of Israel Greenwald, a Long Island diamond dealer. In 1986, he said, he hired the two detectives to murder Mr. Greenwald, having learned of them through Mr. Eppolito's cousin Frank Santora Jr., whom he had met in prison. The two detectives stopped their victim on the highway, took him to a parking garage, bound his hands, and stuffed a bag over his head, Mr. Kaplan said. Then, the witness added, Mr. Santora put a pair of bullets in his head.
