Are the Feds Looking Into Other Unsolved Chicago Mob Related Murders?

John Kass reports on the fallout from yesterday's Family Secrets Mob Trial in Chicago:

And I wonder -- and I'm sure the Outfit is wondering -- where the feds go from here? Do they keep pushing on the old murders? Or do they begin to finally focus on the connection between local politics and the Outfit?

I don't know. But I do know there are other unsolved slayings of recent vintage.

Though 18 are on their way to being resolved, here are a few unsolved deaths.

One of these isn't even called a murder. It's called an accident. A Chinatown accident in Will County.

Nick LoCoco, 64, an Outfit bookie and retired City Hall hack -- also indicted in the City Hall Hired Truck scandal -- died in November 2004.

LoCoco died of a crushed skull while taking a horseback ride during football season. How odd. I'm not a gambler, but I've never heard of a bookie deciding to take a horsey-back ride on a Sunday afternoon between NFL games. But LoCoco apparently did, and he died for it.

No word yet from Mayor Daley on this one.How does a Mob bookie get to be in such a high up position in Chicago government?
