ORLANDO, FL. A man convicted of kidnapping a West Milford woman was shot and killed during an attempted robbery in Florida on Jan. 12. The bank robbers, who held four people hostage during the botched heist, also successfully held up the same bank in November. The bank is located a half-mile from Walt Disney World, Osceola County sheriff’s officials said. Investigators said longtime business partners, Gaetano Alessandrello, 50, and Amanda Lynn Moeller, 26, took four bank employees hostage two weeks ago. Three hostages were released as the standoff progressed through the afternoon and early evening, but the fourth wasn’t freed until, after a ten-hour stand-off, Alessandrello was shot by a sniper. The couple made off with $38,000 after robbing the same bank at gunpoint on Nov. 16. Moeller confessed to the November heist and was being jailed without bail, sheriff’s spokeswoman Twis Lizasuain said. In 1979, Alessandrello was sentenced to eight years in federal prison after he was convicted of kidnapping a Joan Dedrick, a West Milford resident. He and four others held her for a $217,000 ransom. After he was released from prison, Alessandrello, or “Tano” as friends called him, opened Tano’s pizzeria in Bloomingburg, N.Y., a small town in the about 45 miles north of West Milford. That’s where he met Moeller, according to some of his neighbors. Records show Moeller worked with Alessandrello at Empire Commercial Cleaning Services, a new business he opened that specialized in cleaning vacation rentals near Disney. Some of the 10-hour standoff was broadcast live on Florida television.
