Joseph Bonanno’s position weakened during the 1960s after deaths and shifting alliances within the Mafia Commission strengthened rival bosses Carlo Gambino and Thomas Lucchese. Following the collapse of a plot against them, Bonanno disappeared in 1964 while facing a Commission hearing and a grand jury subpoena. He returned in 1966, claiming that he had been kidnapped.
