A tip of the hat (but alas, no other prize) to the reader who provides the first correct answer to this question out of Chicago mob lore:

Steve I believe he was one of the guys killed in the St. Valentines Day Massacre, I'm very interested to see how it ties into the family secrets case is someone involved in the case a relative of his?
STEVE WARMBIR NOTES: We have a winner. Tip of the hat and kudos to seasonalshop for the quickest, correct answer. Nice work. Thanks to all those who played.
In terms of the connection to the Family Secrets case, not a bad guess on a relative, but incorrect.
Look for a blog post later in the day for the connection.
Damn. I knew that one! Should have logged on earlier. If I remember correctly he was an optometrist who liked the thrill of hanging around mobsters. Another (perhaps) innocent victim was a mechanic. The mechanic's dog was the only survivor.
