Henry Hill’s Second Act: Living a Double Life in the Midwest

Welcome to Omaha, Mr. and Mrs. Hill

He still wore his expensive suits and shiny loafers, but he had nowhere to go except to the store for milk. The Hills weren’t given a choice of where to live, so they ended up in Omaha, Nebraska. He was a fish out of water but wanting to feel like himself, Hill took his family out to dinner on their first evening there at an Omaha-based chain called Godfather’s Pizza. Take that, middle America.

“It was like another country,” Henry later said. And Hill didn’t just bring along his wife and kids; he tried to take two of his mistresses into protection, too. He had a few cover stories under his belt, about how he worked for the government (not so far from the truth).
