April 2, 2005 -- Human remains and clothing were dug up yesterday in a Brooklyn parking lot as part of the investigation into two retired rogue detectives accused of having worked for the mob, officials said.
Nine bones, including what appears to be a shoulder bone, were unearthed at 2232 Nostrand Ave. in Flatbush, an FBI spokesman said.

The feds used hand trucks to move crate loads of material out of several sheds on the lot — which is used by Brooklyn College — over the past two days.

The remains were found after FBI agents started digging Wednesday after an informant led them to the scene in a case where retired detectives Louis Eppolito, 56, and Stephen Caracappa, 63, had taken part in a racketeering conspiracy with mobsters.

The two men were indicted last month in connection with eight murders ordered by Luchese kingpin Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso.

The feds have been looking for the remains of a mob-connected Hasidic diamond dealer murdered in the late 1980s.


The gem man and a second dealer had been laundering mob money through Europe. They were killed after the Luchese crime family suspected them of turning into informants.



The bones will be sent to the city Medical Examiner's Office to confirm that they are human.

Eppolito, who retired in 1990, and Caracappa, who retired in 1992, are being held in Las Vegas and are expected to be returned to New York as early as next week to face charges
