Boston Man Fights for DNA Samples to Prove He Is Al Capone's Grandson
A Boston real estate investor believes so strongly that his grandfather was a famous Chicago gangster that he legally changed his last name to Capone six months ago.
Christopher Capone on Thursday laid the legal groundwork to get DNA samples that he hopes will prove Al Capone is his grandfather.
Capone, formerly Christopher Knight, has tried without success to obtain DNA samples from known male descendants of the man known as "Scarface."
But the 37-year-old says if he's not able to do so, he may request exhumation of the mobster's remains from Mount Carmel Catholic Cemetery in the Chicago suburb of Hillside.
