I remember this story--

The corpse of John Gotti's Howard Beach neighbor - murdered after he accidentally killed the gangster's 12-year-old son in a traffic accident - was dissolved in a barrel of acid, an informant says.

John Favara's grisly fate is disclosed in court papers filed Tuesday in the upcoming racketeering trial of reputed Gambino soldier Charles (Charlie Canig) Carneglia.

He has long been suspected of getting rid of Favara's body after the father of two was shot in March 1980 on orders of the late Gambino crime boss. Favara's body has never been found.

Carneglia told a Gambino family associate, who is a government witness, that he disposed of the body by putting it in a barrel of acid, Assistant Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Roger Burlingame said.

1. I couldn't believe when A&E(?) had that show on with Victoria Gotti and her spawn-

they all seemed like a herd of very spoiled thugs. What a role model for an all American family.

2. The neighbor should have sold his house and moved away.

I think Gotti was pissed off that the guy stayed in the neighborhood and Gotti had to see him every day.
