Goodfella' Henry Hill says jail saved his life". Today.com. Associated Press. December 1, 2005. Archived from the original on April 25, 2017 . Retrieved October 29, 2007. Hill was first arrested when he was 16; his arrest record is one of the few official documents which used his real name. [11] Hill and Lenny, Vario's equally underage son, attempted to use a stolen credit card to buy snow tires for Tuddy's wife's car. When Hill and Lenny returned to Tuddy's, two police detectives apprehended Hill. During a rough interrogation, Hill gave his name and nothing else; Vario's attorney later facilitated his release on bail. While a suspended sentence resulted, Hill's refusal to talk earned him the respect of both Vario and Burke. Burke, in particular, saw great potential in Hill.

After just two months in Omaha, the Hills were on the move again: changing their names and re-inventing their past once more. Their next stop was Independence, Ky., surrounded by tobacco fields and horses. The population: 8,000. Still, there were those close to Anders who voiced their doubts about her sudden infatuation with Hill, with salon owner Vivian Walsh, who owned the space where Anders rented a chair, warning that there was 'something kind of creepy about him'.

After Bentvena was beaten and presumed killed, DeSimone, Burke, and Hill placed his body in the trunk of Hill's car for transport. They stopped at DeSimone's mother's house to fetch a shovel and lime. They started to hear sounds from the trunk, and when they realized that Bentvena was still alive, DeSimone and Burke stopped the car and beat him to death with the shovel and a tire iron.
