[snip] Authorities originally believed as many as six murder victims were buried in the lot in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including Luchese family associates Joseph Spione and Thomas DeSimone, plus John Favara, a Queens furniture store manager who they say was killed because he accidentally ran over the 12-year-old son of former Gambino mob boss John Gotti.
DeSimone, from Queens, was reported missing in January 1979; he is suspected of being part of a Lufthansa Airlines cargo heist in 1978.
However, investigators did not find any of their remains during the excavation.
"Our belief is that we've found whatever it is to be found there," FBI spokesman Jim Margolin said.
