• One tactic of parental alienation child abuse [done by narcissistic mothers] is … "changing the child’s name so that there’s no association with the other parent."

Canadian rapist-murderer Colonel Russ Williams seems to have undergone a similar name change after his mother divorced his father, but later reverted back.

But the all-American image Ducey projects, one which helped him win the primary and may help him win the general election,belies a family tree that includes two generations of his mother's family's involvement in organized crime.

 

According to newspaper accounts and public records from various court and congressional hearings, four of Ducey's relatives in an Italian-American family called Scott (anglicized from Scotti) were involved in illegal gambling in Ohio.

 

Family members ran after-hours gambling clubs and participated in bookmaking, numbers-running, extortion, loan-sharking, and other lucrative illicit activities from the 1920s through the 1980s.

 

The candidate's maternal grandfather, William Scott (a.k.a. Bill Scotti), was a convicted bookmaker who partnered with members of the Detroit mob.

 

His son Billy Scott, Ducey's uncle, was a high-profile sports bookmaker in Toledo who did time in federal prison in Arizona before fleeing to the Caribbean island of Antigua, where he became an online gambling kingpin.

 

Uncle Billy returned to the United States in 2012 to plead guilty in federal court to international money laundering and illegal Internet wagering.

 

Ducey's great uncle Tony Paul Scott (a.k.a. Neufio Scott), his grandfather's brother, was among Toledo's "most legendary racketeers" and one of the "elders of the loosely knit Toledo crime family," according to the Toledo Blade, the city's daily newspaper.

 

During his long life, Tony Paul was arrested numerous times, incarcerated for illegal gambling and highway robbery, and eventually stripped of his U.S. citizenship, though he was allowed to remain in this country until his death in 1993.

 

These sins of the state treasurer's fascinating bloodline have remained unknown to the general public. Until now.

 

Both public records and Ducey's family's digital footprint have been helpful in understanding the candidate's relation to a world that sometimes resembles Once Upon a Time in America or The Sopranos, depending on the generation involved.

 

A 1963 marriage certificate from Ohio's Lucas County, of which Toledo is the county seat, records that at age 19, Madeline Scott, Ducey's mother and the daughter of William and Madeline Scott, wed Douglas Roscoe, who refers to Ducey on Facebook as the "next AZ Governor, my son Doug Ducey."

 

It's one of several of Roscoe's Facebook references to Ducey and other members of Ducey's family.

 

According to this, Roscoe is Ducey's cop father, and he identifies himself online as having formerly been with the Toledo Police Department.

 

Contacted by The Center for Investigative Reporting for this story, the TPD confirmed that Doug Roscoe served as an officer there for about 12 years, from October 1965 to April 1977.

 

Ironically, during that period, Ducey's grandfather, grandmother, and uncle Roscoe's in-laws were under investigation by various law enforcement agencies.
