Just about every publication lists three or four names associated with Sam Giancana's murder. I don't feel a need to list the names because everybody's heard them. There will probably never be a clear- cut answer.

One matter that is very troubling is the follow-up investigation, or the absence of an investigation. Since muder is not a federal offense, the responsibility to investigate fell to local authorities. NOT SO. Giancana's was testifying as a federal witness whether he liked it or not. Federal authorities had every legal right to look into this murder. There was what I would call a cursory investigation and not much more. Some leaders in congress called for a "complete and total" investigation. Never happened.

The follow-up investigation of Giancana took on the smell of a seven day old gutted sea bass. The same can be said for the murder of Johnny Roselli.
