Anthony Abetemarco is a retired Detective in the New York City Police Department. He currently works as an Investigator for the New York County District Attorney's Office. He is now regularly seen working with Erin Reagan.

Biography

Abetemarco is a native New Yorker. He is of Italian descent and unabashedly loves to eat. He has a habit of speaking in double negatives, a trait which often confuses Erin. Fiercely loyal to his family, Abetemarco landed himself in trouble when he used excessive force against a man. He suspected the man took advantage of his mother's Alzheimer's to access her financial information.

Abetemarco's father, known as "Tony the Bat", was a gangster, or a "bookie" as he said. Abetemarco revealed his father abandoned him at five. He discovered his identity when he was thirteen years old. He was later surprised to learn that his father had another son, Leo Stutz, conceived from when his mother owed Abetemarco Sr. a debt. Leo was aware of their relation and hung out with the oblivious Abetemarco until they meet again as adults and their relationship was proven through a DNA test. Through his brother, he has twin niece and nephew.

Abetemarco's cousin, Joey Ruscoli is a known felon who often brings grief into his life but Abetemarco still cares for him. When Joey got in trouble with the mob, Abetemarco stepped in and used his position to force the head to give his cousin a job to have him work off his debt. He did this both to protect him and teach him a lesson, promising that he'd come by to check on him until the debt is cleared.[1]

Relationships

Abetemarco is divorced. However, he and his ex-wife, Vivian Abetemarco, take care of their daughter Sophia Abetemarco together, implying they share custody.

He works extremely well with Erin. The two of them share personal information about each other.

Abetemarco is viewed in a favorable light by the Reagan family, especially by Francis Xavier Reagan, though Abetemarco and Daniel Reagan do not view themselves in a favorable light. Abetemarco says he doesn't like Danny, often saying to Erin, "Your brother hates my guts." However, Abetemarco is willing to work with Danny whenever it is necessary, and they have been seen getting along at the Reagan family Sunday dinner.[2]
