2. The Lufthansa Heist Remains Unsolved
The legendary Lufthansa heist, dramatically recreated in Goodfellas, actually happened in December 1978 at JFK Airport. The crew made off with more than $5 million in cash and nearly $1 million in jewelry—worth over $20 million today. Despite intensive investigations, the bulk of the money was never recovered, and several key players vanished under mysterious circumstances. To this day, the case remains one of America’s greatest unsolved crimes, shrouded in secrecy and speculation. [Source]
