I doubt Henry Gafforio would have been wearing a $600 gold watch.
Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race, so technically I suppose there's no ambiguity. They think he's a white man of probable Hispanic ethnicity.
The stuff about the time of death is weird.
I know that, but I'm used to it saying white/hispanic or black/hispanic, at least in terms of a UID.
I saw "Latino/Hispanic" (I'd seen another place calling him simply "white") and I thought those two terms were basically the same. Kind of like Irish/Caucasian or Thai/Asian or Nigerian/Black.
Like Giarrizzo. He may look a little "ethnic," but he isn't Hispanic or Latino. "Italian" isn't a category like Latino AND Hispanic are.

Definitely '80s jacket, since they have the manufacturing date down. Gotta think about the bell bottoms, that seems off for the '80s. The fancy watch makes me think he was probably someone who cared about his clothes.
Something about the Italian appearance, the jacket and the watch make me think....I get the feeling this guy could have been some type of mob hit and just thrown out of a car in the middle of the night type of thing.
PLAINVIEW, N.Y. (CBS) @ Police are using modern technology to solve the ultimate cold case. Investigators were actually able to reconstruct the face of the victim whose remains
may have been buried for more than 20 years.
It was March 2004 when state troopers responded to a car crash on the Northern State Parkway in Plainview. It was there rescuers stumbled
onto bones unearthed in a shallow grave. Now, through the wonders of modern science, those skeletal remains believed buried for 27 years,
now have a face.

Doing some more research I also came across some information on Roosevelt Raceway having Mob Ties this info is from a trial in 1974
This is a blurb from the article where they mention bribing the jockeys or as they were called at this racetrack the Harness Race Drivers.
The attempt to eliminate one or more horses from consideration in the "superfecta" betting formed the basis of the conspiracy exposed at the trial. Bribery of harness race drivers was the means by which the conspiracy was implemented.
