Another Darkel mission was rumoured to have involved killing [[Donald Love]] by flying a [[Dodo|plane]] into the [[Love Media]] building. Rockstar has, however, confirmed that rumour to be false as well, claiming the Dodo was never meant to be able to fly in the first place.<ref>[http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/19981/grand-theft-auto-iii-your-questions-answered-part-two-911-the-gh.html <nowiki>[Top Story]</nowiki> Grand Theft Auto III: Your Questions Answered – Part Two (9/11, The “Ghost Town”, The Dodo and Other Mysteries)], Rockstargames.com</ref>
-Darkel was&nbsp;voiced by Bill Fiore.
+Despite being taken out, Darkel remains listed in the GTA III manual credits and the character texture remains in the game's data files. A group of [[tramps]] with [[Molotov Cocktail|molotovs]] can be found in the tunnel that connects [[8-Ball]]'s [[8-Ball Autos|bomb shop]] in [[Harwood]] to the rear of the [[Supa Save!]] in [[Portland View]], supposedly remnants of Darkel's "gang" - a [[Liberty Tree]] [[Strange Tramps Seen All Over Liberty City|article]] also alludes to a rise in tramp-related assaults. Darkel was supposedly meant to live underneath the [[Callahan Bridge]], where he would give the player missions.
