Recent Information
On August 19, 2005, authorities revealed that they had received notes left by Stella Ferrucci-Good, who died at age 91. The writings identified a location near West Eighth Street in Coney Island, Brooklyn, at the current site of the New York Aquarium, where the woman claimed the judge was buried under the boardwalk. Moreover, the notes identified Crater's killers as NYPD officers Charles Burns (also bodyguard of Abe Reles of Murder, Inc.) and Burns's brother Frank, a cab driver.
Police reported that no records had been found to indicate that skeletal remains were discovered at that site when it was excavated in the 1950s. Richard J. Tofel, the author of Vanishing Point: The Disappearance of Judge Crater and the New York He Left Behind, expressed skepticism of Ferrucci-Good's account.
