George Jares (6 of Clubs, Wisconsin)

Investigators looked into Linda's boyfriend, but they couldn't link him to the crime. He was also in Cicero at the time of the shooting. So though Linda did have a motive with the marriage troubles and the fact that she was the sole beneficiary of George's estate, investigators just didn't have nearly enough to conclusively say Linda orchestrated the hit on her husband.

In order to charge someone for hiring a hit, prosecutors don't necessarily need to know the identity of the hitman. But without that, they need rock-solid evidence against the solicitor, like recorded conversations or bank transfers, none of which could be found in Linda's case. So maybe she wasn't the solicitor. I mean, after all, she wasn't the only shady figure that police had come across.

George never necessarily told his family he was connected to mob activities, but some of his actions led them to assume it may have been the case. You see, Eagle River had some mob ties, notably in connection with the Teamsters Labor Union. Starting in the 60s, the Teamsters Union got famously tied up with organized crime.

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.

And what's more, Dorfman was shot eight times in the head with a .22 caliber pistol as he was walking in a parking lot, which sounded to investigators a lot like how George had been killed.

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.
