If you add in the whole CIA-Mob thing in Cuba, Giancana had plenty of reasons to hate Kennedy. Likewise, the CIA had reason to work with the Mob to eliminate Kennedy. Since Giancana knew everything and there was a fear that he would finally testify before the Church Committee, there was ample...

I have read a few things recently regarding mob boss Sam Giancana. His potential role in all of this is intriguing. Also, I believe that he made statements about being involved in the assassination of JFK. Further, given that Giancana was murdered just before he was to testify before a committee...

I was looking at the description of the clothing again. I assume that a Forensic Anthropologist, or someone with similar training, made the estimated height and weight determination. However, by comparison, I sometimes wear pants with a 30 inseam ( depending on the brand but usually longer) I am...

Ok. I did not realize that he married before JC. I n just over three years he is married two more times and a son dies. Maybe wife number four didn't want kids? When I mentioned being clear of criminal activity, I meant that I wonder if he was still actively participating in said activity or was...

So, by February-ish 1972 WC had been married and divorced twice ( not including his marriage to JC) ? That does seem odd. 6 months until he remarried does seem a bit soon. I wonder if he ever collected on JC's life insurance? Is it odd that a convicted felon would report stolen guns to the...

I have hiked the same trail and surrounding areas. I have often thought of places that Siegfried could be during these walks. Now my interest is up and I may go back soon. In know there is a pond nearby and the remnants of an old structures across the creek.

I am assuming that Rachel Domas was found off the Columbia trail. If you look at the most likely path of travel from WMC High School to he home street, she would have encountered the Columbia Trail approximately 1000 feet from Siegfried Woelki's disappearance and a half mile at most from the...

I see what you are saying with the last paragraphs. When I first read about the child dying a couple years later, I thought that a bit concerning. However, it could be just an unfortunate coincidence. I do not see an issue with a father requesting payment on an insurance policy. If the policy...

The one idea that struck me was; suppose there was someone living semi-locally that was an all around bad guy, not afraid to resort to crime when the need or mood struck. Very likely not the case but I am curious if the backgrounds of the locals were ever looked into closely (even years later).

I wonder if that fireplace poker is still in an evidence locker somewhere and could be tested for DNA? I wonder if they ever established a time of death? Lastly, this location would be mere steps away from where Siegfried Woelki disappeared in 1984. Not saying there is a connection. Just that...

This quite close to my house actually. However, I don't think I have ever heard about this. I am guessing the original house was demoed to make room for Palmer Park.

The question that pops into mind first is that one article mentions 23 shell casings found at the scene, I wonder if that is correct? There were 12 entry wounds to the victims, so where were the other shots? I wonder if they determined that all shots came from the same gun? I did not see that...

I would imagine, after 45+ years any ties would be long forgotten. If the "boys" were teenagers in 1980, they would be 60-65 years old now and their parents in their 80s-90s. It would seem that, if there existed evidence to charge, someone would have done so in recent years.

It was stated earlier in the threads that Trudy claimed to be talking to a"20 year old" male. Fisher is at the correct age in 1996. I almost wish I had not read the last article. The uncle asks why it took so long however, I wonder if the father disclosed his drug dealings and suggested drug...

You have kinda hit the nail on the head for me. Also, how many times do we hear of someone trying to hire a hitman only to have that person go straight to the cops? The hirer ends up pitching the hit scheme to an undercover officer. How often, even in mob hits, did they pull it off flawlessly...
