BONES UNEARTHED IN B'KLYN IN PROBE OF 'MOB COPS'

April 2, 2005 -- Human remains and clothing were dug up yesterday in a Brooklyn parking lot as part of the investigation into two retired rogue detectives accused of having worked for the mob, officials said.
Nine bones, including what appears to be a shoulder bone, were unearthed at 2232 Nostrand Ave. in Flatbush, an FBI spokesman said.
The feds used hand trucks to move crate loads of material out of several sheds on the lot — which is used by Brooklyn College — over the past two days.
The remains were found after FBI agents started digging Wednesday after an informant led them to the scene in a case where retired detectives Louis Eppolito, 56, and Stephen Caracappa, 63, had taken part in a racketeering conspiracy with mobsters.
The two men were indicted last month in connection with eight murders ordered by Luchese kingpin Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso.
The feds have been looking for the remains of a mob-connected Hasidic diamond dealer murdered in the late 1980s.
The gem man and a second dealer had been laundering mob money through Europe. They were killed after the Luchese crime family suspected them of turning into informants.
The bones will be sent to the city Medical Examiner's Office to confirm that they are human.
Eppolito, who retired in 1990, and Caracappa, who retired in 1992, are being held in Las Vegas and are expected to be returned to New York as early as next week to face charges

B'klyn dig
turns up bones
Saturday, April 2nd, 2005
Investigators looking for the remains of a diamond dealer allegedly whacked by two mobbed-up cops unearthed what appeared to be human bones and clothing in Brooklyn yesterday, a law enforcement source said.
The medical examiner's office will evaluate the evidence. Digging will continue at the site, a row of garages at a Flatbush parking lot, authorities said.
An informant told investigators that a missing Hasidic gem merchant who reportedly was laundering drug money for the Luchese crime family was slain by alleged Mafia cops Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa and buried in a garage at the Triple P lot on Nostrand Ave.
The retired detectives are charged with having a role in eight murders, but not in the diamond dealer's death.
FBI agents, Drug Enforcement Administration agents and city cops found the bones in the third garage they searched.

Feds dig in Brooklyn looking for bodies
Search of site in Midwood is connected to arrest of two former detectives accused of working as mob informants, sources say

April 1, 2005
Federal officials began digging in Brooklyn yesterday for possible human remains related to the arrest of two former detectives accused of being mob moles, law enforcement sources said.
The all-day search off Nostrand Avenue in Midwood was scheduled to resume today after officials failed to come up with any evidence yesterday related to the case of ex-Dets. Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, said a federal official who asked not to be identified.
Neighbors in the vicinity of a parking garage at 2232 Nostrand Ave. said the activity began at 5 a.m. yesterday. Police crime scene detectives were on the scene through the afternoon, the neighbors said.
Caracappa and Eppolito were indicted last month on charges that they acted as informants for mob kingpin Anthony Casso, former acting boss of the Luchese crime family, between 1986 and 1992.
Investigators charged that Eppolito and Caracappa not only gave Casso information to track down several people who were eventually slain, but also carried out one kidnapping and killed another man, Gambino crime captain Edward Lino, in November 1992.
The kidnapping victim was James Hydell, an associate of the Gambino crime family, according to the indictment. Hydell, whose body has not been found, was allegedly kidnapped by Eppolito and Caracappa in September 1986 and delivered to Casso. The indictment said Casso, after forcing Hydell to reveal the identity of people involved in a failed plot to kill the Luchese boss, then killed Hydell.
However, one law enforcement official did not believe the remains being sought were those of Hydell, but couldn't elaborate. WNBC-TV reported that police officers were sifting through the ground looking for the remains of a Hasidic diamond dealer.
Eppolito, who left the force in February 1990, and Caracappa, who finished his career with the NYPD in November 1992, are being held without bail in Las Vegas. They are expected to be returned to Brooklyn next week to stand trial.
The key informant against the former cops has been convicted narcotics trafficker Burton Kaplan, who had been serving a 27-year federal sentence.
Officials with the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn would not comment about the reports of the dig.
