Strange disappearance may finally be solved 75 years later
And they don't have to dig up the end zones in Giants Stadiumto do it!

Police may be on the brink of finally finding the remains of Judge Joseph Crater - and possibly solving the most enduring mystery in New York City history, investigators said yesterday.

A letter probably penned more than half a century ago has pinpointed a spot under the Coney Island boardwalk where Crater - allegedly offed by mobster Frank Costello - is buried, they said. Investigators who have examined erosion records think they've zeroed in on where Crater's remains may be, but they haven't said when digging will start.
