Frank DeLuca (April 1, 1898 – May 1967) was an Italian-American mobster who helped control the smuggling and distribution of narcotics in Kansas City, Missouri, for almost four decades.
Frank DeLuca married Lillian Cora Buckner.
Frank was arrested for concealed weapons charges, violating the Alien Registration Act, and murder for hire.
Frank was eventually watched by several federal agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the U.S. Department of Justice.
During the 1950s, at Senate Select Committee hearings on organized crime, known as the Kefauver hearings, Frank and Joe were named as two of the "Five Iron Men" of Kansas City in 1952.
