Body of reputed mobster found in N.J. car trunk
2005-12-07
NEW YORK --A body found last week in the trunk of a car parked behind a New Jersey diner has been identified as a mobster who vanished during his waterfront corruption trial, authorities said Wednesday. Lawrence Ricci, a reputed Genovese family capo last seen on Oct. 7, was shot in the back of head and in the back, authorities said.
Went old-school on him
His badly decomposed body was identified through dental records.
"Yeah, it's da capo all right. I'd recognize dat molar anywhere."
Ricci was acquitted in federal court in Brooklyn after he disappeared. The 60-year-old had been accused of steering a dockworkers' union contract to a mob-connected pharmaceutical company.
It's got everything, dead capo in the trunk, crooked dockworker unions, legendary crime families, New Jersey
His body was discovered Nov. 30 in a car parked outside the Huck Finn Diner in Union, N.J.
"He's dead, Huck"

#8  Someday, long after we're all long dead, someone's going to dig into the connections between the Democrats and the mob -- through the union bosses -- and a whole hell of a lot of US history is going to make a lot more sense.

#5  I guess that's one clever way to hide a meth operation.

Let's you take the tax deductions for expenses, too, while laundering the profits.
