Richard Schneiderhan

aka: Inmate 23403-038

Massachusetts State Trooper Richard Schneiderhan, now in federal prison.

He grew up with serial killer Stevie Flemmi, who he grew to idolize as he took payoffs from him. The trooper would later tell his son that if he ever had a problem, there was one man who could straighten anything out for him – “Eric,” his codename for Flemmi.

It wasn’t just FBI agents that Whitey and Stevie were paying off. Schneiderman was on the pad for years. Now 71, according to the Bureau of Prisons website, his number is 23403-038. Earlier the site reported his status as “in transit,” which means he may have been on his way to testify before a grand jury somewhere (Worcester?).
