Identity of Man Solved, now to find his Killers…

Skeletal remains of a man were found on April 8th, 1985, by a driver traveling person driving on Interstate 195 in the town of Fairhaven, Massachusetts (USA). Thirty Eight years later, DNA tests would reveal that he was named Keith Olson a 27 year old man from Cranston, Rhode Island who had gone missing in 1981. There are strong suspicions that Olson was killed by the ex-romantic partner of a woman he was currently dating. That man was named John Broccoli, who also went by the name Michael Corleone. Law Enforcement believe that at least two people were involved in Olson’s murder. One has to wonder if one of several mob guys in Rhode Island well known to Rhode Island Authorities could have been involved as well.

IF you have any information about Olson’s disappearance and murder, please call Detective AnnMarie Robertson at (855)-627-6583.

Major Development in Murder of Rhode Island Mob Enforcer?

hanrahan1Kevin Hanrahan was a feared man.  He would beat people up, rob drug dealers, and kill for Organized Crime. It is no secret that Hanrahan has been a suspect in several unsolved murders in Southwestern New England.  Most notably the unsolved killing of Raymond “Slick” Vecchio in 1982.  Ten years later after that infamous hit,  Hanrahan left a restaurant in the Federal Hill section of Providence and some unknown persons shot the tough guy in the face, as he was approaching his car.   Thirty years later, there are rumblings that former high level members of the New England Mafia ordered his killing.

Former New England Mafia Captain Robert Deluca pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder in the case of Hanrahan but the actual gunmen have never been apprehended by law enforcement.
