FBI agents searching for evidence of a 30-year-old mob murder said they found possible human remains in a New York home once occupied by a famous gangster, the Associated Press reports.
The Queens house was once home to James Burke, a Lucchese crime family associate known as “Jimmy the Gent” and who inspired the character Jimmy Conway in the movie “Goodfellas.”
The FBI didn’t divulge details but said agents have gathered evidence that may be related to the decades-old murder.
Burke, who masterminded a nearly $6 million robbery at New York’s Kennedy Airport, died in Jail in 1996.
The home that was searched is still owned by Burke’s wife, the AP wrote.
