The Tie That Binds

Patrolman John McGill was walking his Long Island City beat in Queens, New York when he passed a cleaning and dying business at about six-fifteen in the morning. As he passed he noticed what appeared to be large package of laundry. When he passed the establishment forty-five minutes earlier it wasn't there. Assuming that it was a package for the cleaning business, he walked up to investigate. Instead of laundry he found the trussed up body of Angelo Marino.

Crowds gather where Marino's body was found

Police claimed that Marino, 38, with an arrest in 1928 for felonious assault, was a small time racketeer from Manhattan's East Side. Marino had been bound up with clothesline and death was due to a rope wrapped around the victim's neck. Authorities believed that the murder was committed in Manhattan and then the corpse was driven over the bridge and dumped.
