Favara’s Fate Found?

I wonder if you have to take that to the recycler, or can you just dump it down the drain? 

It’s been one of the last unsolved mysteries from the gangland career of John Gotti.

Whatever happened to the neighbor who accidentally ran over and killed the mobster’s 12-year-old son Frankie — and then vanished?

The answer may be found in Brooklyn court papers filed this week by federal prosecutors.

They say 51-year-old John Favara was shot to death on orders of the outraged Gambino crime family boss — and his body was dissolved in a vat of acid.

Prosecutors say a cooperating witness has fingered a 62-year-old former mobster as the perpetrator in the 1980 affair. Charles Carneglia, an alleged mob soldier awaiting trial on five murders, made sure there was no body to be found by dissolving Favara’s remains with flesh-eating acid, which he kept by the drum in his basement, a government witness testified.

Hopefully his family can rest easier.  It’s gruesome knowledge, but sometimes it’s still better to know.
