“ One man left who knows a lot about some of that and that is Red Wemette. He is on Youtube and tells of the activities of the Outfit”.

And maybe Harry Reid.

“Reid served as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission from 1977 to 1981. When Jack Gordon offered Reid a $12,000 bribe to get approval of new games for casinos, Reid brought in the FBI to tape Gordon’s bribery attempt and arrest him. After FBI agents interrupted the transaction, as prearranged, Reid lost his temper and attempted to choke Gordon, saying “You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me!” before agents stopped him. Gordon was convicted in 1979 and sentenced to six months in prison. Reid presided over the 1979 hearing that refused to issue a gaming license to casino operator Frank Rosenthal because of his ties to organized crime groups such as the Chicago Outfit and particularly his close personal association with mobster Anthony Spilotro. Reid later stated that “Rosenthal was the only person that I was ever afraid of.”” Wikipedia

This is so surprising that a drying up lake near a city controlled by mobsters would yield this number of dead bodies. I would have expected dozens.
