Who killed Chicago MOB boss Sam Giancana? Hitman finally exposes – NBC Chicago

“Who Tötung Momo” has been one of Chicago's nervous crime questions for five decades, since the wild death of the hoodlum at the end of spring in 1975.

The identity of Sam Gancana's murderer has long been considered the greatest hit by the Chicago outfit in a city that was known for its bloodthirsty gangsters and ruthless butchers.

When NBC Chicago examined the mob's last family secret, our team found that the identity of Giancana's assassin was no secret in some circles.

Federation investigators say that Giancana's murderer was exposed a long time ago.

June 19, 1975 was unusually hot and sticky, and shortly before 11 p.m. Chicago Mob Magnat Sam Giancana had just allowed a guest in the cellar kitchen in his house in Oak Park under a moon -bright sky.

When Giancana fried a late-evening sausage snack, the visitor shot him in his head several times. Giancana was dead on the floor.

The responsible FBI Special agent of Chicago, Douglas Depodesta, said that the agency “absolutely” sees Giancana's murder as an unresolved open case.

“It looks like it is that we are always looking for information from the public so that we can track,” said Depodesta.

It is a similar approach in the police headquarters of the West Suburban Oak Park police. Giancana's investigation file No. 75-07161 is not public because the case is still officially unsolved.

NBC Chicago has received copies of police recordings from an external source that reveals that the weapon with which Giancana was killed was bought in South Florida. The .22 pistol was one of a couple who was bought in a Miami weapon business at the same time. One pistol was used to carry out a Milwaukee Mobster, and the other was used on the Chicago outfit -ikon Sam Giancana.

“This is an open examination, so I can't speak to the details of this case,” said the FBI's Depodesta.

NBC Investigates asked Depodesta: “But do you think the office knows how it happened?”

His answer: “No,” the office does not know.

But 1,750 miles west in Las Vegas is the case closed for the federal witness Frank Calabrese Jr., who says that Giancana's murderer has been known to the investigators and federal prosecutors for decades.

The Chicago Mob Defector spoke about its earlier life in the outfit every day in the Mob Museum in Vegas, a place where Giancana's mug has an outstanding position from a time when he and the chicago outfit checked casinos for decades.

“You know there are many of these mob secures that we will probably never solve, and the Giancana One is definitely at the top of the list,” said museum director and mob expert Geoff Schumacher.

Calabrese claims There is no secret.

His Chicago MOB boss Frank Sr. and the Chicago Mob -Hitman -onkel Nick gave the answer to those who killed Momo Giancana years ago.

“My information that I got verbally from my father was that Tony Accardo Sam Giancana. My father said it was Tony who killed him,” said Calabres, Jr.

Tony Accardo, also known as Anthony Accardo, was referred to with JB or Joe Batters because of his preference for baseball sleepers.

At that time nobody exceeded the 66-year-old Accardo in the chicago outfit. A mob legend like Giancana on his death would have needed the personal approval of Accardo. But Giancana was actually killed by Accardo, said Mob Hitman Nick Calabrese in an FBI interview newly received by NBC 5 research work.

The FBI interview report concludes: “Accardo, the nickname JB, was involved in the murder of Giancana.” And then the reports quote a mob boss with the words: “You are never too old to work like JB.”

But there is more. The Momo murder weapon was found in a forest protection area on the side of the road, which is located between Giancana's house and Accardo's house in the river forest.

The FBI had the accardo house in 1975. Records received from our team document and go from the Accardo House and reveal that one of the chapo's cars before Giancana was covered and then returned home.

“He goes to Sam's house alone and you will talk about the upcoming hearing commission of the Senate …”, recalled Calabrese, Jr.

Mobwatchers suggest that Accardo, Al Capones of a one-time bodyguard and driver, was concerned that Giancana was a loose cannon and could possibly spill mob secret to the US Senate Committee that conjured him up.

Calabrese Jr. focuses on the fear that Giancana sown in Accardo and his bosses of the outfits. “Sam was the one who could really get Tony in great difficulties.”

Thirty years after Giancana had been murdered, Calabrese Jr. and his assassin-Erwecker Nick became state witnesses in an undercover examination by FBI, which is known as Operation Family Secrets.

Based on their information, the prosecutors solved 18 outfit murders and convicted more than a dozen large mob number in Chicago.

However, NBC 5 Investigates was announced by four top federal investigators who worked on the Fallmark case that the government had actually solved 30 mob murders, including Giancana. The consensus of law enforcement is that Tony Accardo Giancana killed.

FBI records say that Giancana's murderer is never pursued by criminal law because he is dead. Anthony Accardo died of natural reasons in 1992. He was 86 years old. Giancana and Accardo's last resting places are not far apart in West Suburban Hillside.

According to the outfit expert, the two mob legends only tolerated themselves. Until his death, Tony Accardo booted that he had never spent a night in prison. Some Mobwatchers believe when Accardo Sam Giancana killed, this was an action that ensured that he would never do it.

Conclusion: Sam Giancana was murdered by a man with the means, the motif and the opportunity.

Anthony Accardo's means were known. According to federal investigators, he never turned away from the order of executions or gave a personal hand in outfit murders. His parade of violent crime went back to Valentine's Day in 1929 until Accardo was in the machine gun team and Al Capones carried out marching commands in a warehouse of the Clark Street.

Accardo had motifs. He was fueled by lifelong resentment with Giancana, and he feared that Giancana was a loose cannon that could do it in handcuffs and then land behind bars.

And Accardo had chances. He was one of the few people who could knock on Giancana's door before midnight and open them.

Why did he personally do it and not hand over the goal to a downfall? Mobologists suspect that Accardo did not entrust anyone in 1975 to do it, and wanted to guarantee that the goal would not come back to him … by keeping it secret.

A 50-year secret … now exposed.
