Much of the furniture remains in tact and Gotti’s suit shirts are still hanging in his bedroom. There is also abandoned classic cars that were covered in overgrown weeds and a kids playground that’s become rusted over and enmeshed in tall grass. At one point, Kyle stumbled across a secret room hidden behind a bookshelf. He finds shirts on coat hangers and piles of clothes and photos hidden in there, including a card written by Gotti’s daughter Victoria. “I can’t stress enough just how cool that was. If this whole entire house isn’t cool enough, we came across literally Gotti’s secret room. “Maybe it was used as a closet… [It’s behind] a perfectly normal bookcase. We noticed some hinges and we saw this swing so we knew there was something that drags along the floor.” Gotti was jailed in 1992 and sentenced to life in prison without parole after being charged with five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, illegal gambling, extortion, and loansharking.
