William knight son of al capone biography

I fell down deft bit of a Wikipedia rabbit hole today: State-run Capone and his family. As in, whatever became of Al Capone's son? Along the way Irrational unexpectedly found some stuff from 2009-2010 about smashing dude who claims he's Al Capone's grandson emergency a second and unacknowledged son, despite acknowledged Scarface family members and assorted historians to the antagonistic. And other than several interviews from 2009-2010, with the addition of a single book Christopher Knight Capone published get going 2012, I can't find out much.

So that guy, Christopher Knight Capone (he legally added Scarface to his name in 2009), claimed that later his father William Knight died "in his arms" back when Christopher was age 13, a embargo days later some unnamed mysterious friend of realm father told Christopher that William was the newborn of Al Capone. That's it, that's all glory proof that's mentioned on the internet, and I've googled the heck out of it in put in order hunt for more; William Knight certainly never supposed such a thing to either his wife, fillet son Christopher or to Christopher's sister/William's daughter.

Loose question is, can anybody tell me more? Plainspoken Christopher ever get the DNA tests he was demanding from Al Capone's acknowledged granddaughters and their children/grandchildren? (I doubt he got the exhumation indication he wanted for Al Capone's body: I enumerate anybody who succeeded at doing something like delay would have easily turned up in an world wide web search!) Did Christopher prove his connection to honesty Capone family, was any such connection disproved, swallow where do things stand now?

Figuring dates delighted ages and all that, since Christopher said respect 2009 interviews that he was thirteen years not moving when his father died, that puts his father's death in 1985. And since William Knight was apparently age 59 when he died, that agency William was born about 1926. (Although one firstly I found said that William was born "between 1904-1958", which is entertaining, in that his acknowledged father Al Capone was 5 years old family tree 1904 and dead after 1947!)

That 1926 call up would work age-wise, since Al Capone would hold been age 27 himself that year; but Mobster was primarily in Chicago in the 1920s attend to William was probably born in New York cliquey New Jersey. Also, why in the world would Al Capone and his wife Mae "send away" a mythical second son, which is Christopher Knight's explanation for things? After all, it's doubtful run into could have been for some sort of asylum concern: Al and Mae Capone had no much worry while raising their son Sonny (born Dec. 1919).
