I tried to figure out how long the building the body was found in had been vacant and what it had been used for historically, but the building is not registered in any of the municipal databases. The address where the body was found is 120-08 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY and is a former factory based on the zoning (Factory - Light Manufacturing). Based on my knowledge of NYC architecture, the building is almost certainly pre-war (meaning it was built before WWII).

Michael James DeMaria - #MP19729
Missing From: New York, NY
Date of Last Contact: April 14, 1976
Missing Age: 28
Height: 5'11" (71 inches)
Race/Ethnicity: White/Caucasian
Circumstances: Missing from 1976, last seen leaving his building. (Per his
WS thread, Michael was arrested for armed robbery in 1973 and operated a parking lot in Manhattan's Little Italy -- IMO his location and occupation makes it highly likely Michael was either involved with or was known by those in organized crime. Michael's parking lot was located just 2 blocks away from the Ravenite Social Club, which served as the headquarters of the Gambino crime family in the 70s and 80s)

Gaetano Richard Vallese - #MP9244
Missing From: Fishkill, NY
Date of Last Contact: May 14, 1979
Missing Age: 34
Height: 5'8" (68 inches)
Race/Ethnicity: White/Caucasian
Circumstances: Vallese was last seen at 8:30 p.m. on May 14, 1979. He was driving out of New York City on the New York State Thruway at the time. He has never been heard from again.
He was reported missing by his estranged wife after he didn't come to pick up their daughters as scheduled. Nothing was missing from his home, and his blue 1977 Chevrolet was found at his home on Smithtown Road in Fishkill, New York on May 23.
Vallese may have been involved in organized crime in New York City in 1979. Authorities would like to talk to Teddy Cohen, an associate of his from the Bronx. They've never been able to locate Cohen and believe the name could be an alias.
Authorities stated they could find no evidence of foul play in Vallese's disappearance and it's possible he went into hiding, possibly in a witness protection program. His case remains unsolved. (per

in-depth New York Times article, Isidore was a diamond dealer who is believed to have been murdered by two mob-affiliated retired NYPD detectives, Louis J.

In 2005, a body discovered under the concrete floor of a garage in Brooklyn was believed to be Isidore but Isidore is still listed as missing.)
