Say Nothin to Nobody

When other people go out for a walk in a wooded area, they do it for excercise and the calming peace of a cloudless sky. When we go out for in a wooded area, we know our subconscious is kind of hoping to happen upon human bones. The construction crew that discovered skeletal remains in the DuPage County Forest Preserve may have been digging a sewer, but they really hit the jackpot for creep-outs everywhere: mob bones.

The remains they found have been identified as a former "alleged" mobster, Robert Charles "Bobby" Cruz, who has been missing since 1997. Now the FBI is investigating the case on the basis that the unclothed remains found wrapped in carpet and tarp "may" be linked to organized crime. Other clues that there was foul play include his "execution-style" killing, a broken shoulder and a lack of three fingers.

What is even more TV drama about this case is that two other bodies were dug up in 1988 in the very same spot. Oh yeah, and that the very same spot is not too far from another reputed mobster. The police and the FBI will investigate like they do, and the world will keep on turning and everything, of course. For us, though, we've at least realized that we may have watched Martin Scorsese movies for about 129 hours too many over the course of our lives and, well, we need to get a grip.
