Rossi’s life included a troubled childhood, legal battles, and attempts to manipulate the legal system.
Corey Lamoureux, a local bartender, said, “You never really believed what was coming out of his mouth.”
“The boss gave him the nickname (Three Question Nick) because he became so annoying. He’d sit there and ask so many questions that our boss said, ‘Listen, you can ask three questions; if you ask a fourth I’m throwing you out’.”
Rossi’s ex-wife, Kathryn Heckendorn, said, “He broke me down and we got married without telling anybody.”
“It was the first day he hit me, right after we were married.”
“[I would be] put down verbally [and told] just how stupid, dumb I was. If I didn’t act that way, I wouldn’t have to get hurt,” she continued.
The judge that granted the divorce also accused Rossi of “gross neglect of duty and cruelty”.
Mary Grebinksi said, “I saw his dark eyes behind his dark rimmed glasses and they were void of any emotion, any human feeling, it was like looking into something dead.”
Lamoureux said, “We had found out about his first conviction because one of our friends was a police officer.”
The bartender recalled another patron speaking to Rossi on the phone.
“He owed [him] a lot of money and had made promises to pay him. And then we all got the call that he was dead,” said Lamoureux.
