Bodies of Mafia murder victims 'rising' from lake they were dumped in due to global warming

When the Mafia in Las Vegas wanted to dispose of a murdered body, then the deep waters of Lake Mead were the ideal spot - with the body often stuffed into a steel drum.
Known as a "Chicago overcoat", that and a pair of "concrete shoes" were enough to guarantee the corpse would never see light again.

The victim’s gunshot wound and “Chicago overcoat” barrel container indicate a Mob whack.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Homicide Lieutenant Ray Spencer said the type of trainers on the body dated the killing to the late 1970s or early 80s.
He added: “The water level has dropped so much over the last 30 to 40 years that, where the person was located, if a person were to drop the barrel in the water and it sinks, you are never going to find it unless the water level drops.
"The barrel did not move. It was not like the barrel washed up.”
Lake Mead, and the building of the Hoover Dam which formed it, became synonymous with the disposal of bodies in Las Vegas from the 1930s onwards.
Las Vegas history professor Michael Green, 57, thinks the body is by no means the last that will emerge.
He told the Mirror: “With water levels declining, it’s very possible we’re going to have some very interesting things surface.
