Body of kidnapped Italian boy found near New Orleans
Police found the headless body of Walter Lamana, seven or eight, two miles inland from the city in a swamp. A confession by Ignazio Campigelano led to accusations against four Italian suspects, including two women, with motives tied to ransom. Authorities fear violence amid unrest in the Italian quarter near Elk Place.
