best_know_for: Gennaro J. “Jay” Angiulo was an American mobster who rose to the position of underboss in the Patriarca crime family of New England under Raymond L. S. Patriarca. He and his brothers oversaw the Boston, Massachusetts faction of the Patriarca family from 1963 to 1986. Angiulo rose from humble beginnings to become a key player in the Mafia, overseeing racketeering, gambling, loansharking, murder and other illicit operations in the region. His influence peaked in the 1960s and '70s, but his criminal empire began to crumble in the 1980s when the FBI, aided by informants like Whitey Bulger, planted listening devices in his headquarters. These recordings led to his 1986 conviction on racketeering and other charges, resulting in a lengthy prison sentence. After serving 17 years, Angiulo was released in 2007 due to health issues. He died on August 29, 2009, at the age of 90, and is considered the last significant Mafia boss in Boston’s history. You can visit grave of mobster Gennaro Angiulo at Holy Cross Cemetery in Malden, Massachusetts.

popular name: Martha Moxley

date_of_death: October 30, 1975

age: 15

cause_of_death: Homicide by blunt trauma

claim_to_fame: Crime and their Victims

best_know_for: Martha Moxley was a 15-year-old American high school student from Greenwich, Connecticut, who was murdered in 1975. Moxley was last seen alive spending time at the home of the Skakel family, across the street from her home in Belle Haven. Michael Skakel, also aged 15 at the time, was convicted in 2002 of murdering Moxley and was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. What we do know: On Oct. 31, 1975, the body of Martha Moxley was found under a pine tree at the edge of her family’s property, diagonally across from the Skakel home in the Greenwich enclave of Belle Haven. She had been beaten about the head 15 times with a #6 Toney Penna woman's model golf club with such savagery that the golf club shattered in the attack. She was also stabbed through the neck with the shaft. Police found two of the golf club’s pieces nearby. The third—part of the handle and shaft—was never recovered. Despite the conviction of Michael Skakel not once, but twice he was subsequently released from prison 2013 after a judge ruled a third trial would not justified given the passage of time and many witnesses have since died. What we can say with nearly 100% certainty is that Michael and/or his older brother Tommy, with the possible assistance of their cousin Jimmy Terrien—all of them nephews of Ethel Kennedy—murdered Moxley. Proving once again that there are two justice systems - one for the rich and one for everyone else. Today Michael Skakel is a free man who is believed to be living in Florida while his brother Tommy lives in Massachusetts.
