Who killed Momo? NBC examines the murder of Chicago Mob Chef – NBC Chicago

“Who Tötung Momo” is the last family secret of the Chicago outfit.

NBC 5 examines, dug in one case that was resting and collects dust. We once spoke to men inside the mob and those who examined Sam Giancana's assassination from the outside. We searched law enforcement files, photos and laboratory reports and asked the police, prosecutors and mob characters to determine who has scored Chicago's biggest goals.

In Chicago there were more than 1,400 mob murders in Chicago.

Almost all of them have left unresolved.

Officially, this number corresponds to the murder of the malignant outfit legend Giancana. His mob moniker “Momo” is short for Mooney, also known as crazy.

“Giancana was a very influential person in the outfit,” said Douglas Depodesta, who is responsible for the FBI Chicago.

“He led the outfit from the late 50s to the mid -1970s. He was with one of the McGuire sisters.

Fifty years ago, in the spring of 1975, Momo was in his house in West Vorstadt -Oak Park and lived in a basement apartment. Police photos of Giancana's actual residence – and what would become a crime scene – have never been shown publicly before.

There are framed illustrations of circus clowns that decorate its office wall and a stand-up bag cup on site that the depot for its cigar stolates. And there is this hardline house phone, in which the 67-year-old Giancana Crime managed Syndicate business.

He had just returned from the gallbladder surgery in Houston, and some friends were over to welcome him at home.

A photo shows how Chicago Police Detective has monitored the gangster bungalow, confirmed by a police report we received. But NBC Chicago Sources say what the report is not in the dead of the night.

Before 11 p.m. there was a visitor to someone who was familiar with Giancana apparently enough to allow a cellar staircase.

The hoodlum began to make a late -evening snack. Giancana stood above this pan, sizzling sausage and escarole with beans when his house guest fired a shot from this silencer, 22-caliber pistol directly into the back of Giancana's head. And then after the Mobster collapsed, six other shots in his mouth and symbolize the golden rule of the outfit: You shouldn't talk.

“Whoever it was, was professional enough to know that they wanted to make sure he didn't survive,” said the Reformed Chicago Mobster Frank Calabrese, Jr.

Calabrese Jr. has MOB -DNA in the blood. His father Frank “The Breeze” Calabrese, Sr., was a Chicago criminal boss and an outfit -hitman.

In 1975, when Giancana testified in front of the US intelligence agency, some syndicate insiders may have been nervous about whether he canceled his vow from Omerta or secret and were too meaningful about relationships between the mob and the central secret service agency. Motif enough for murder.

“The world of chicago outfit and organized crime is a dirty, evil little world,” said the mobologist John Binder, who said that 50 years ago, numerous murder -suspect in the MOB hit, but never enough evidence of law enforcement.

“There are different claims about different people, credible claims to a certain extent, more or less about who may have killed Giancana,” said Binder, who wrote a book about the mob in 2003, “The Chicago outfit.”

“I think the most likely version of events is that it was Butch Blasi,” said Binder. “He was there that night. There was a small party in Gancana's house. Contains two outfit people: Blasi and Chuck English.”

Chuckie English was a chicago outfit boss boss, who would be murdered later for a decade. He was never charged and not Dominic “Butch” Blasi, Giancana's long -time bodyguard and Wheelman.

All over the country, in the Mob Museum in Las Vegas, where Sam Giancana is a prominent face on the wall, said Outfit expert Jeff Schumacher that the death of Momos Detective from day one.

“There are suspects. There are theories. But they know that it will be quite difficult at this time,” said Schumacher, Vice President of Museum Exhibitions and Programs.

In part two of “Who Tötung Momo” we go to the Giancana Police files. NBC Chicago will visit the evidence again, follow the weapon, check who appeared in the dead of the night and revealed the man's name that has done it.

Who pulled the deduction? And why is this man never charged?
