Louis J. Eppolito Eppolito
A 56-year-old man with a 20-year-old secret told it in public for the first time how, in 1986, he dug a five-foot-deep hole, dumped in a dead man he believed that two detectives, Louis J. Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, had just helped kill. Mr. Franzone told the jury in Federal District Court in Brooklyn that he watched as Mr. Eppolito's cousin and Mr. Caracappa marched their victim toward a garage then came out without him. They took him to the lot, where the witness said he saw Mr. Eppolito in a parked car as Mr. Santora and someone in a trench coat who looked like Mr. Caracappa led the jeweler to the garage, from which he never returned.
