Edward Anthony Buccieri, 52, was found dead on May 12, 1975, in the parking lot of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Employed there as a floorman since 1967 and known as Marty, he was inside his vehicle with five gunshot wounds to the head.

Wayne Donald Horton, then 25, confessed to the killing, saying he intended to rob Buccieri and shot him when Buccieri resisted; Horton was convicted and received life without parole. Later allegations complicated that account. Frank Lefty Rosenthal, described as an FBI informant with ties to organized crime, reported the murder was a contract hit ordered by the Chicago Outfit because Buccieri had been pressuring casino owner Allen Glick for money. Rosenthal named Anthony Spilotro, Joey Hansen, and Paul Schiro as the triggermen, but no charges were brought against those individuals, and the official circumstances remain unresolved.

Are there readers who remember Buccieri at Caesars Palace or have information about the events of May 1975?
