'Mafia remains' unearthed in NYC

BBC news

Investigators have been digging at the site since early October

Investigators in New York believe they have unearthed the remains of two mafia captains killed by rivals in 1981.

Bones and belongings buried in marshy wasteland in New York's Queens borough appear to belong to Dominick Trinchera and Philip Giaccone, sources said.

The two men were killed at the height of a power struggle within the Bonanno crime family, court hearings revealed.

Bonanno clan boss Joseph Massino was convicted of several counts of murder and racketeering earlier this year.

4. Jeez, I always thought that they dumped the remains

in New Jersey. Couldn't these guys afford the toll. Now they've gone and stunk up the whole place.

8. Well, the Mythbusters

busted the myth that Hoffa is under Giants stadium. At least to their satisfaction.

He's probably buried in some swampy area of Michigan.
