Skeletal remains were recently found in a barrel at Lake Mead. We wonder if this murder dates from the mob days of Las Vegas. The M.O. is certainly reminiscent of a mafia killing, but there are multiple means by which this unfortunate individual may have ended up in a barrel outside of Las Vegas. Needless to say, we’ll be following the developments in this case as the investigation proceeds.
