FBI Finds Human Remains in Long Island Dig

2008_10_fbidig.jpgAfter days of digging and only finding dog bones, a source tells Newsday that the FBI seems to have found human remains buried in East Farmingdale, Long Island yesterday afternoon. The FBI has been at the industrial complex ever since a tipster said three bodies were buried there and, by last evening, "FBI agents were chopping down tree branches so a large set of floodlights could illuminate the baseball diamond-sized dig area through the evening." The Daily News reports that agents think the remains are of former Colombo underboss William (Wild Bill) Cutolo--"the corpse was found in a tarp cocoon - the traditional way mob hit men dispose of their kills - with shoe-clad feet sticking out."
