I know the owner, I'm not sure he's the sole owner. I'm not sure if he was there all the way back in the 80s.

Police were seen this week digging and searching for a body, believed to be buried under the parking lot of a Los Gatos strip mall and which dates back to a cold case homicide.
The search began Monday afternoon, witnesses said, and resumed on Tuesday, with a large police pressence and K-9 units sniffing out a possible scent.
On Tuesday morning, there was a tent set up outside of Gardino’s Italian Restaurant on Santa Cruz Avenue. The actual digging site is behind the Site for Sore Eyes store front.
The site looked well established, with a police car, a white truck, chairs, mounds of dirt and plenty of Lowe's buckets on hand.
Sgt. Enrique Garcia would not say what case the San Jose Police Department’s Homicide Unit was following up on, only that it was a "cold case homicide" in the 100 block of N. Santa Cruz Avenue in Los Gatos. He said he is not sharing anything else to "protect the integrity of the active investigation."
A law enforcement source told KTVU the case dated back to the 1980s.
Neighbor Carol Sandman said that the possibility of finding someone murdered underground was hard to digest.
Her children went to school nearby and "to think that something nefarious happened a few steps away is very concerning."
I know the owner, I'm not sure he's the sole owner. I'm not sure if he was there all the way back in the 80s.
I have an alibi.
Why is a strip mall called “the cat”?
Ping. Don’t suppose you’d know anything about this.
If they haven’t done it already, they should be using ground-penetrating radar (GPR). It’s how they found King Richard III in the Leicester parking lot.
I wish posters would make clear what country or state is being talked of. Is this USA? CA? TX? NM? AZ? lots of places likely have areas called Los gatos.
and no i don’t want to have to click links to find it out.
Should be great for business....
Gardinos’ Italian,,,
.
I see a pattern.
Los Gatos which borders the city of San Jose which is where I live. Los Gatos is ritzy and high end.
Bay Area CA NW of San Jose.
Idyllic little town in the Santa Cruz foothills. At least thats how I remember it from the 70’s.
Lol
That’s ethnic profiling :-)
I think I ate there back in the 90’s.
It wasn’t me...honest!
Jimmy Hoffa?........................
The Irishman said Jimmy’s body went to a Detroit crematory 30 minutes after he shot him. Credible? Hard to say.
jimmy hoffa
Heard that his body was stuffed into a 55 gallon drum, sealed in concrete, and then taken by boat to somewhere near the Bahamas and dropped in thousands of feet of water................
That sounds a bit like what happened to Richie Aprile in the Sopranos....
Because it’s in Los Gatos. ....the cats
