Slaying of Former Banker Ties to Chicago Syndicate
Police seek clues in the slaying of Marcus attested by a note implicating Marcus with Giancana and a Chicago crime network. A $150,000 loan noted on a receipt found in Marcus’s pocket ties the victim to alleged syndicate dealings. Cash and checks found on Marcus exceed $1,600, with a $100,000 payment recorded to apply on mortgage for River Road Motel, a known syndicate hub. The motive appears financial rather than robbery, and investigators will pursue Marcus’s previous dealings with gamblers and mob associates. The case remains under police probe as more evidence is reviewed.
