It was unlikely the killer or killers would ever be found.

There was little doubt in anyone's mind that this killing had been a professional hit, and that the body was meant to be discovered. There was also a New York magazine, according to reporters Gene Mustain and Jerry Capeci in Murder Machine, which featured a cover story on dealing drugs. In the back seat was a wire that apparently had been attached to a recorder, but the recorder was gone. According to his son, who later claimed the car, papers from the gloves used by crime scene technicians were dumped into the blood, as if the criminalists had used the once-fine car as a trash can. In all, the man had been shot seven times and he lay in a pool of frozen blood. A bullet hole went right through his now-solid hand, and an examination later indicated an execution-style killing, with a bullet hole behind each ear. His black leather jacket was wrapped around his head like a turban and his torso was frozen to the spare tire. His body had frozen into rigor mortis and the cold January temperatures had kept it rigidly in place, with one hand defensively over the face. Then they popped the trunk and found something they didn't expect: a chandelier.īeneath the chandelier was the dead body of a heavyset, dark-haired man, 40ish, who appeared to have been shot several times. Forensic analysts allowed the car to warm up inside for two hours before starting their examination. One officer jumped up and down and on the rear bumper, and from the way the car rocked, he decided that the trunk was empty, so they towed it to a police garage. The car appeared to be empty, although there were dark stains on the seats. By now they were aware of a missing persons report on a man from the area, filed by his wife, and this car fit the description of the one they were seeking. Yet no one came, so the club manager asked police to have another look. They assumed that the owner would eventually come to collect it. The police had already been there once, and upon determining that the car had not been reported stolen, had left it where it was. On a cold blustery morning, January 18, 1983, a businessman called the police once again to report a maroon Cadillac that had been left in the parking lot of the Varnas Boat Club in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York.
