Some people don't just die—they completely cease to exist. And the Mafia perfected this dark art.
This documentary investigates five legendary mobsters and connected figures who vanished without a trace, leaving behind nothing but theories, rumors, and decades of dead-end investigations. We're reconstructing their final movements, examining the methods used to erase them, and exploring why their bodies have never been recovered.
You'll discover what really happened in the parking lot where Jimmy Hoffa was last seen alive. The truth behind the "suicide" of the witness who fell from a sixth-floor window while surrounded by police guards. Why Tommy DeSimone—the real-life inspiration for Goodfellas' Tommy DeVito—never survived his making ceremony. The fatal words spoken in a Brooklyn restaurant that sealed Mimi Scialo's doom. And how three mob captains walked into a social club meeting and walked into oblivion.
This investigation draws from FBI case files, sealed grand jury testimony, deathbed confessions, and informant accounts provided after the vanishers themselves were dead. Every disappearance examined. Every theory evaluated. Every mystery confronted.
For the complete cinematic exploration of organized crime's darkest chapters, explore our 100-episode master series on the main channel, Global Mafia Universe. Link in description.

July 30th, 1975.
0:03
A parking lot outside the Machu's Red
0:05
Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township,
0:07
Michigan. A maroon Mercury Marquus sat
0:10
empty, its engines still warm. Inside,
0:13
the keys remained in the ignition.
0:16
A halfeaten lunch waited on a nearby
0:18
table, and Jimmy Hoffa, the most
0:20
powerful labor leader in American
0:22
history, had simply ceased to exist. 49
0:26
years later, despite over $und00 million
0:28
in investigation costs, his body has
0:31
never been found. Here's the
0:33
uncomfortable truth that every federal
0:35
agent eventually admits. Some people are
0:38
too powerful to arrest, too.
0:43
Too dangerous to let live, and too
0:45
valuable to leave a body behind.
0:48
The mafia didn't just kill these men,
0:51
they erased them. every trace, every
0:54
witness, every molecule of evidence.
0:57
They turned living, breathing human
0:59
beings into nothing more than whispered
1:01
legends and unanswered questions. What
1:04
makes a perfect disappearance? Consider
1:07
the mathematics of murder. A body
1:10
creates evidence, DNA,
1:13
dental records, fiber transfers,
1:16
bullet. A body gives investigators
1:19
something to work with, but a vanishing
1:22
act that creates only theories.
1:25
Speculation.
1:27
Decades of dead end leads the consume
1:29
resources without producing convictions.
1:32
The mob discovered something that
1:33
governments spend billions trying to
1:36
achieve. How to make someone simply stop
1:38
existing. These weren't random hits
1:40
conducted by amateurs. These were
1:42
orchestrated erasers performed by
1:45
specialists who treated disappearance as
1:47
a craft. They developed methods so
1:49
effective that bodies from the 1970s
1:51
still haven't surfaced. They created
1:53
alibis so airtight that known killers
1:56
walked free for decades. They understood
1:58
that the perfect crime isn't one you get
2:00
away with. It's one that nobody can
2:03
prove ever happened. The men we're about
2:05
to examine represent the apex of this
2:07
dark art. Labor leaders and mob
2:10
captains, witnesses and wildcards,
2:12
connected men who threatened the wrong
2:14
people and paid a price so complete that
2:16
even their bones became mysteries. Each
2:19
disappearance tells a story about power,
2:22
betrayal, and the terrifying efficiency
2:24
of organized crime at its peak. What
2:27
happened to them? Where are they buried?
2:30
Who gave the oars? These questions have
2:33
haunted investigators, journalists, and
2:36
family members for decades.
2:39
Some theories have emerged. Some
2:41
confessions have been extracted, but
2:43
absolute certainty remains elusive.
2:46
Today, we're opening the vault. These
2:49
are the secrets they thought were buried
2:50
forever. What you're about to hear draws
2:53
from FBI investigative files spanning
2:55
five decades. It comes from sealed grand
2:57
jury testimonies that prosecutors fought
3:00
to keep classified. It comes from
3:02
deathbed confessions that contradicted
3:04
official conclusions. And it comes from
3:06
mob informants who waited until their
3:08
protectors were dead before speaking the
3:10
truth. Five legendary disappearances.
3:13
Five men who walked into the shadow
3:15
world of organized crime and never
3:17
walked out. Five mysteries that
3:20
represent the mob's most successful
3:21
vanishing acts. Each one builds toward a
3:24
disturbing conclusion about how
3:26
completely a human being can be. erased
3:29
when the right people decide they need
3:31
to go. Some of these men were monsters
3:33
themselves, architects of violence who
3:36
met appropriately violent ends. Others
3:38
were simply in the wrong place at the
3:40
wrong moment. Their fates sealed by
3:43
conversations they never heard. All of
3:45
them share one thing in common. Their
3:48
bodies have never been recovered. Their
3:50
true fates remain unconfirmed. And the
3:53
men who made them disappear took those
3:55
secrets to their own graves. The deeper
3:57
we dig, the more we understand why these
4:00
mysteries persist. The disappearers
4:03
protected each other. They eliminated
4:05
witnesses systematically. They created
4:07
false trails that led investigators in
4:09
circles for years. They understood that
4:12
time was their ally. Every year that
4:14
passed made evidence harder to find,
4:16
witnesses harder to locate, and memories
4:19
harder to trust. Start with the most
4:21
famous vanishing act in American
4:24
criminal history. the one that defined
4:26
what a mob disappearance could achieve.
4:29
First up, the man whose name became
4:31
synonymous with missing persons. July
4:34
30th, 1975 started like any other summer
4:37
Wednesday for Jimmy Hoffa. He left his
4:39
modest lakehouse in Lake Orion, Michigan
4:42
around noon, telling his wife Josephine
4:45
he had a meeting scheduled for 2:00. His
4:47
destination was the Machu's Red Fox, an
4:50
upscale restaurant in nearby Bloomfield
4:52
Township. His meeting was supposed to
4:54
settle an old dispute with Anthony
4:56
Provenzano, a New Jersey Teamsters
4:58
official and captain in the Genevese
5:00
crime family. Hawa and Tony Pro had
5:03
history. They'd served time together at
5:05
Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary in the
5:07
late 1960s, where their friendship had
5:09
curdled into hatred over a pension
5:11
dispute. Now, with Hawa pushing to
5:13
reclaim the Teamsters's presidency, he'd
5:16
been forced to resign. He needed to make
5:18
peace with the mob figures who
5:20
controlled the union's future. or so he
5:23
believed. At 2:15 p.m., Hawa called his
5:27
wife from a pay phone outside the
5:29
restaurant. He was irritated his meeting
5:32
partners hadn't shown. Tony Pro and Tony
5:35
Jack were supposed to be here. E
5:37
referring to Provenzano and Anthony
5:40
Jackalani, a Detroit mob captain who'd
5:42
supposedly brokered the city. Josephine
5:44
told him to come home.
5:47
Instead, Hawa waited. At 2:45 p.m., a
5:51
witness saw Hawa climb into the back
5:53
seat of a maroon Mercury. The car left
5:56
the parking lot and merged into traffic.
5:58
James Riddlehoffa was never seen again.
6:01
The investigation that followed became
6:02
the largest missing person's case in FBI
6:05
history. Agents interviewed over 200
6:07
witnesses. They tested soil at dozens of
6:10
suspected burial sites. They examined
6:12
rumors that Hoffer's body was intombed
6:14
in Giant Stadium, dissolved in a fat
6:17
rendering plant, crushed in a car
6:19
compactor, or buried beneath a horse
6:21
farm in Michigan. Nothing panned out.
6:24
Every lead hit a wall. Here's what
6:26
investigators eventually pieced
6:28
together. Tony Pro never intended to
6:30
attend any meeting. Neither did Tony
6:32
Jack. The entire sitdown was a setup
6:36
designed to lure Hawa to a location
6:37
where he could be grabbed by
6:39
professionals. The Maroon Mercury
6:41
belonged to Chucky O'Brien, Hoff's
6:43
foster son and longtime associate, who
6:46
initially denied involvement before
6:48
witnesses placed him driving the
6:49
vehicle. The actual kill team likely
6:52
included the Andreta brothers, Thomas
6:54
and Steven, both Provenzano associates
6:56
with documented violence in their
6:58
backgrounds. Forensic investigators
7:00
later found Hawa's hair and skin cells
7:02
in O'Brien's car, proving the labor
7:04
leader had been inside, despite
7:06
O'Brien's denials, but without a body.
7:09
Prosecutors couldn't bring murder
7:10
charges. Frank Shiran, a Hawa associate
7:14
and mob hitman, confessed to the killing
7:16
in 2004, 3 years before his death.
7:20
According to Shiran, he shot Hawa inside
7:22
a house on Detroit's west side within
7:24
minutes of his arrival. The body was
7:26
then transported to a funeral home for
7:28
cremation. Other theories suggest burial
7:31
at a horse farm, disposal at a waste
7:34
management facility, or shipment to New
7:36
Jersey for elimination by Provenzano's
7:39
crew. 50 years of searching have
7:41
produced nothing definitive.
7:43
Every confession conflicts with other
7:45
confessions. Every burial site yields
7:48
nothing but dirt and disappointment. The
7:50
perfect disappearance remains perfect
7:52
because nobody who knows the truth has
7:54
ever provided testimony that could be
7:56
verified. But that's nothing compared to
7:58
what comes next. Coming in at number
8:01
four, The Witness who never made it to
8:04
the stand. November 12th, 1941, the Half
8:08
Moon Hotel in Coney Island, Brooklyn. On
8:11
the sixth floor, behind a locked door,
8:14
surrounded by six police officers
8:16
assigned to protect him around the
8:17
clock. A reels waited to testify. His
8:20
testimony would destroy Murder
8:22
Incorporated. His words would send mob
8:25
bosses to the electric chair and before
8:27
sunrise he would be dead. Abe kid twists
8:30
knew everything. As a founding member of
8:32
Murder Incorporated, the enforcement arm
8:34
that handled contract killings for the
8:36
National Crime Syndicate. He had
8:38
personally participated in over 11
8:40
murders. More importantly, he could
8:43
connect those murders to the men who
8:45
ordered them. His cooperation had
8:47
already produced death sentences for
8:49
Three Murder, Inc.
8:52
associates. His upcoming testimony
8:54
promised to reach much higher. Alberta
8:57
Nastasia, the Lord High executioner of
8:59
the mob, was Realiza's primary target.
9:01
The testimony Reels prepared would
9:03
directly link Anastasia to multiple
9:06
contract killings. Beyond Anastasia,
9:09
Reels could implicate Lep Kabu Halter,
9:12
the only mob boss ever executed by the
9:14
federal government. His value as a
9:16
witness was incalculable. His danger to
9:19
the mob was existential. The night of
9:22
November 11th proceeded normally. Guards
9:25
checked on reels regularly throughout
9:26
the evening. He played cards. He joked
9:30
with officers. He went to bed in his
9:32
locked room with no indication anything
9:34
was wrong. Six armed men stood between
9:37
him and anyone who might want him dead.
9:39
At 7:10 a.m. on November Rey's's body
9:42
was discovered on the second floor roof
9:44
extension of the hotel directly below
9:47
his sixth floor window. He was wearing
9:49
only his pants and undershirt. Two bed
9:51
sheets and a length of wire were found
9:53
knotted together extending from his
9:55
window. The official ruling reals had
9:58
attempted to escape or play a prank and
10:01
had accidentally fallen to his death.
10:03
Nobody believed it. The mathematics of
10:07
his death never added up. Reels was 41
10:10
ft above the point where his body
10:12
landed. The makeshift rope measured only
10:15
16 ft. Even at full extension, he would
10:18
have been 25 ft in the air with nothing
10:20
to grab. Why would a man under 24-hour
10:22
protection attempt to escape from the
10:24
people protecting him? Where was he
10:26
planning to go in his undershirt? Here's
10:28
what sealed court records eventually
10:30
revealed. At least one of the six guards
10:33
assigned to protect Reels was on the
10:35
mob's payroll. Captain Frank BS,
10:38
commander of the police detail, later
10:40
became the subject of corruption
10:42
investigations that went nowhere. The
10:44
locked door to Relly's's room showed no
10:46
signs of forced entry because someone
10:49
with a key had opened it from inside.
10:51
The method was elegant. Reels was almost
10:54
certainly thrown from the window,
10:56
possibly unconscious or already dead
10:58
with the fake escape rope staged
11:00
afterward. The guard's testimony was
11:02
coordinated to match the accidental
11:04
death narrative, and without an
11:06
eyewitness willing to contradict them,
11:08
the story held. Prosecutors had to drop
11:10
their case against Anastasia. Without
11:12
reals, they lacked the testimony needed
11:15
for conviction, and Anastasia walked
11:17
free for another 16 years until his own
11:20
murder in 1,957.
11:23
The Canary, who could sing but couldn't
11:26
fly, took his secrets to a sidewalk
11:28
grave. And the men who should have
11:30
protected him walked away with fat
11:32
envelopes and sealed lips. The deeper
11:34
you go, the darker it gets. Number three
11:37
takes us to the real story behind
11:39
Hollywood's most celebrated mob movie.
11:42
January 1979.
11:44
Tommy Dammani missed a meeting. He
11:46
should never have missed. For years, the
11:49
young Lucazi associate had been building
11:51
a reputation for violence that impressed
11:53
his bosses and terrified everyone else.
11:55
He killed with enthusiasm. He robbed
11:58
with skill. He generated hundreds of
12:00
thousands in illegal income for the
12:02
family. And then he simply vanished. The
12:05
real Tommy Disimone bore little
12:07
resemblance to Joe Pesky's Oscar-winning
12:10
portrayal in He stood 6'2, weighed over
12:14
200 lb, and possessed the kind of
12:17
cold-blooded aggression that made
12:18
experienced killers uncomfortable.
12:21
By 23, he had committed his first
12:24
murder. By 28, he had lost count. His
12:27
problems started with Billy Bats. On
12:30
June 11th, 1970, Dimimony walked into
12:33
Robert's lounge in Queens and
12:35
encountered William Deine, a maid member
12:37
of the Gambino family who had just been
12:40
released from prison. Bats made comments
12:42
about Dimon's past as a shoe shine boy.
12:45
Dimony responded by beating him to death
12:47
with the help of Jimmy Burke. Killing a
12:49
maid member without authorization
12:51
violated the most fundamental rule of
12:53
mafia governance. Dimony was an
12:56
associate, not a maidman, which meant he
12:58
had killed someone who outranked him by
13:00
multiple levels. The Gambino family
13:03
demanded justice. For years, the Luces
13:06
family deflected, promising that
13:08
Dissimony would make restitution.
13:10
Everyone knew what restitution meant.
13:13
Dimmon's execution was delayed because
13:15
he remained useful. His role in the
13:17
December 11th, 1978 Lufanza heist at JFK
13:21
airport generated over $5 million for
13:23
the various families involved as long as
13:25
he kept producing. His protection
13:28
continued, but witnesses were starting
13:30
to disappear after Lufanza killed by
13:32
Jimmy Burke to prevent them from
13:34
talking. Dimony himself had participated
13:36
in several of these murders. Here's the
13:38
hidden truth about Tommy's
13:40
disappearance. He didn't just vanish
13:42
because of Billy Bats. He vanished
13:45
because he had killed too many people
13:46
connected to Loft. The FBI was closing
13:49
in. Prosecutors were assembling cases.
13:52
Every living participant in the heist
13:54
represented potential testimony.
13:56
Dissimony knew enough to send a dozen
13:58
men to prison for life. That made him a
14:01
liability. In January 1979, Dissimony
14:04
was told he was finally getting made.
14:07
After years of working as an associate,
14:09
he would take the oath and become an
14:10
official member of the Lucasy family. He
14:12
dressed for the occasion and drove to
14:15
meet his sponsors. He was never seen
14:17
again. His body has never been found.
14:21
Theories place him in a Brooklyn
14:22
basement under the Belt Parkway in a New
14:25
Jersey landfill. Henry Hill, the
14:28
informant who brought down the Burke
14:30
crew, testified that Disone was shot in
14:33
the head moments after arriving at his
14:34
making ceremony. The men he trusted to
14:37
honor him had been planning his murder
14:39
for months. And this is where things get
14:41
truly dangerous. Landing at number two,
14:43
the drunk who signed his own death
14:45
warrant over dinner. September 1974,
14:48
a crowded restaurant in South Brooklyn.
14:51
Dominic Mimi Shallow had been drinking
14:53
heavily all afternoon, working himself
14:55
into the kind of belligerent stuper that
14:57
had become his tra. As a soldier in the
14:59
Columbbo crime family, Shallow had
15:01
connections that usually protected him
15:03
from consequences. Tonight, those
15:06
connections would kill him. Joe Columbo
15:08
sat at a corner table surrounded by
15:11
associates and family members. The boss
15:13
of the Columbbo family had been shot
15:15
three times at an Italian-American Unity
15:17
Day rally in 1971 and had never fully
15:20
recovered. He struggled to speak. He
15:23
could barely move without assistance,
15:26
but he remained the official head of the
15:27
family and public disrespect toward him
15:30
remained a capital offense. Shallow
15:32
stumbled toward Columbbo's table, drink
15:35
in hand, voice rising above the
15:38
restaurant chatter. Witnesses disagreed
15:40
on exactly what he said, but multiple
15:42
accounts confirmed the general thrust.
15:45
He called Columbo a vegetable. He mocked
15:47
his inability to speak. He suggested the
15:49
family needed leadership from someone
15:51
who could still function. He did this in
15:54
front of Columbbo's men, his friends,
15:56
and dozens of civilians who would
15:59
remember every word. The room went
16:01
quiet. Men at Columbbo's table stood.
16:04
Shallow's own associates tried to pull
16:06
him away. Recognizing what he couldn't
16:08
see through his alcoholic haze. He was
16:11
already dead. The only question was
16:14
timing. Shallow left the restaurant
16:16
under his own power. Still oblivious to
16:18
the magnitude of his mistake. He climbed
16:21
into a car with men he considered
16:23
friends. That car drove into the night
16:26
and Dominic Shallow was never seen
16:28
again. Here's what FBI informants later
16:31
revealed about that evening. Shalo was
16:33
driven to a location in South Brooklyn,
16:35
possibly a warehouse or basement
16:37
controlled by the family. He was beaten
16:39
severely, both as punishment and as a
16:42
message to anyone else who might
16:44
considered disrespecting the boss. Then
16:46
he was killed and disposed of using
16:48
methods refined through decades of
16:50
practice. The theories about his
16:52
disposal vary. Some informants claimed
16:54
he was buried in concrete at a
16:56
construction site. Others suggested
16:58
dismemberment and distribution across
17:00
multiple locations. The Gemini method,
17:03
perfected by Roy Deio's crew in the same
17:05
era, involved draining bodies of blood
17:08
in a bathtub before cutting them into
17:10
pieces for separate disposal. Whatever
17:12
technique was used on Shalo, it worked
17:14
perfectly. His disappearance sent
17:17
exactly the message it was designed to
17:19
send. Joe Columbo might have been
17:21
diminished, but the family's enforcement
17:23
remained fully functional. disrespect
17:26
would be punished with eraser. Shallow's
17:28
fate became an underworld legend. A
17:31
cautionary tale repeated in social clubs
17:33
and backrooms four years afterward.
17:36
What comes next? Even the FBI couldn't
17:39
believe it. Position one belongs to the
17:41
night the Banano family ate itself. May
17:44
5th, 1981. A Brooklyn social club on
17:48
13th Avenue. Three Banano family
17:50
captains arrived for what they believed
17:52
was a meeting to resolve an internal
17:54
dispute. Alfan Sony Red Indelicato
17:58
Dominic Big Trinera and Philip Philly
18:01
Luki Jooni represented the old guard of
18:04
the family. Men who opposed the
18:07
leadership of Philip Rustelli and his
18:09
allies. What they walked into was an
18:11
ambush. The Banano family had been in
18:13
chaos for years. The Donnie Barasco
18:15
infiltration, which would be exposed 3
18:18
months later, had already destabilized
18:20
the organization. Rustellis faction and
18:22
the Indelicato faction had been
18:24
maneuvering for control. Each side
18:27
knowing that compromise was impossible.
18:29
Only one group would survive. The
18:31
meeting was supposed to discuss peace
18:33
terms. Indelicato Trinera and Jaconei
18:36
arrived together. A gesture of
18:38
solidarity that also made them easier to
18:40
kill. Inside the club, Joseph Msino,
18:44
Salvatore Vital, and others waited with
18:47
weapons ready. As soon as the three
18:49
captains were inside and the doors were
18:51
locked, the shooting started. What
18:54
happened next combined systematic
18:56
execution with methodical disappearance.
18:59
The bodies were wrapped in plastic. They
19:01
were loaded into vehicles. They were
19:04
transported to a burial site that had
19:07
been prepared in advance. and they
19:09
vanished so completely that even the FBI
19:11
couldn't confirm they were dead for over
19:13
two decades. Here's the hidden truth
19:16
about the three Kappos hit. It almost
19:18
went wrong. Sunny Red in Indelicato was
19:21
wounded in the initial gunfire but
19:23
managed to fight back, grabbing a weapon
19:25
and returning fire before being
19:27
overwhelmed. The struggle was more
19:29
intense than planned. Blood spattered
19:32
walls and floors. Evidence accumulated
19:35
despite the killer's preparation, but
19:37
they had time to clean and they used it.
19:39
The burial site remained secret until
19:42
2004 when construction workers in Ozone
19:45
Park discovered skeletal remains in a
19:47
vacant lot. DNA testing confirmed the
19:50
identities in Drencher and Jukoni buried
19:54
together for 23 years while their
19:56
families wandered and investigators
19:58
searched. Joseph Msino, who had
20:01
orchestrated the hit, eventually became
20:03
the first boss of a New York family to
20:05
turn government witness. His 2005
20:08
testimony provided details of the murder
20:10
that corroborated physical evidence at
20:12
the scene. He described the planning,
20:14
the execution, and the disposal with
20:17
clinical precision. He confirmed what
20:19
everyone had suspected, but nobody could
20:22
prove. The three Kappo's case
20:24
demonstrates both the success and the
20:26
limits of mob disappearance techniques.
20:28
For 23 years, the vanishing was perfect.
20:31
Three made members of a major crime
20:33
family had been erased from existence.
20:35
Their bodies lay under a parking lot
20:37
while investigators chased leads across
20:39
the country. Only luck and betrayal
20:42
eventually exposed the truth. What these
20:44
five disappearances revealed together is
20:46
a methodology refined over decades. The
20:49
mob didn't stumble into effective body
20:51
disposal. They developed it
20:53
systematically, learning from mistakes,
20:56
adapting to forensic advances,
20:58
protecting the knowledge from generation
21:00
to generation. Consider the common
21:03
elements. Trusted associates lured
21:05
victims to controlled locations. Kill
21:07
teams operated with prior planning and
21:10
role assignments. Disposal methods
21:12
prioritized complete elimination over
21:14
convenience. Witnesses were either
21:16
eliminated or bound by mutual criminal
21:19
liability. Time became an ally, eroding
21:22
evidence while memories faded. The men
21:24
who disappeared understood this system.
21:27
Many of them had used it themselves
21:28
against others. They walked into traps
21:31
believing they were protected by the
21:32
same rules they had exploited. Their
21:35
vanishings carry a certain dark justice.
21:37
They were erased by methods they helped
21:39
pe. But the families left behind
21:42
experienced no justice. Josephine Hawa
21:45
died in 1980 without ever learning what
21:47
happened to her husband. Tommy
21:49
Desimoon's relatives still wait for
21:51
confirmation of what they already know.
21:53
The children of the three Capos spent
21:55
their youth imagining scenarios that
21:57
ranged from secret exile to violent
22:00
death. The perfect disappearance creates
22:03
pain that never fully heals. Some
22:05
mysteries remain genuinely unresolved.
22:08
Hoffa's exact burial location has never
22:10
been confirmed despite multiple
22:12
confessions.
22:13
The disposal methods used on Xolo remain
22:16
speculation. The complete network that
22:18
facilitated Relly's's murder was never
22:20
exposed for every answer the informants
22:23
provided. Three questions remain. The
22:26
mob's vanishing techniques have largely
22:28
died with the men who perfected them.
22:30
Today's organized crime operates
22:32
differently with DNA evidence and cell
22:34
phone tracking making complete
22:36
disappearance nearly impossible. The era
22:38
of perfect erasers has passed. But the
22:41
bodies from that era still lie in their
22:43
hidden graves. monuments to a craft that
22:45
made human beings simply stop existing.
22:48
Their stories serve as reminders of what
22:50
organized crime achieved at its apex.
22:52
Not just the murders, which were common
22:54
enough, but the complete elimination of
22:56
evidence that made prosecution
22:58
impossible. The psychological terror
23:01
inflicted on potential witnesses who saw
23:03
what happened to those who talked. The
23:05
demonstration of power so absolute that
23:07
even death couldn't be confirmed. The
23:09
vault has been opened. The vanishing
23:12
acts have been examined, but somewhere
23:15
in basement floors and vacant lots and
23:17
places, no investigator has thought to
23:20
look. The final evidence waits. It waits
23:23
for construction crews with shovels. It
23:25
waits for informants with guilty. It
23:28
waits for time to reveal what the
23:29
killers worked so hard to hide. If you
