Going Undercover for My Son

Doreen Giuliano is a New York mother who went to staggering lengths to try to get her son out of jail. Her story involves a false identity, hot pants, and an operation she called The Sting. The crime that started it all happened in October 2003. A 19-year-old college football star called Mark Fisher was found shot dead on a street in Brooklyn early one morning. He had been at a party nearby hosted by 20-year-old John Giuca - who was arrested, along with a teenage friend, Antonio Russo. Both were found guilty of murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. John Giuca’s mother, Doreen Giuliano, just couldn’t believe it. Image: mystery woman Credit: joegolb/Getty Images
