And for whatever reason, Teamsters members were known to frequent Eagle River. So landing there, of all places for his restaurant, a bit of a flag later on once they got hip on the area. Flag number two was George's side gig flying planes between there and Cicero.

I don't know. This Dorfman was Alan Dorfman, a prominent figure in Chicago's organized crime circuits, and particularly the Teamsters Union. And here's where things start to get weird. Three years prior, in 1983, Dorfman was murdered in what many have come to believe was an effort to keep him from talking to authorities about the Teamsters' illegal activities. His case has never been solved.

Unfortunately, if George's murder was a mob hit, the investigation probably wouldn't get much further. The mob notoriously has a code of silence which bars them from cooperating with authorities. And it scares off anyone on the outside who might want to offer a tip. I mean, even George's family is wary of going down this road.
