Title: Why is a mobster buried in a Vatican church?

This article definitely took a turn for the weird. There's a mobster who was killed in the 90s buried in an Opus Dei tomb. Thing is, some authorities suspect that a teenager may be buried with him. Several suspects are mentioned in the article, but I swear this is something out of some whodunit novel.

Wow...that almost reads like a parody. Known gangster buried in Vatican, possibly interred with underage boy.

A criminal buried in the Vatican? Sounds like a standard day to me.

Someone call Dan Brown, we have the material for his next novel.

Maybe he can work in reptilians this time.

While truth is often stranger than fiction, and going with the assumption that the rumors of this story are accurate, how did the body of that murdered girl end up in the grave years after she was supposedly dumped in a cement truck (and presumably encased in cement)?

This practice is known as professional courtesy.

This is a weird one. I can accept the possibility of the Mobster...but one of his victims buried with him?
