Bizarre Mysteries That Remain Unsolved to This Day

The Murder of Bugsy Siegel

This notorious gangster helped to create the Las Vegas Strip. His body was found riddled with bullets, leading people to believe that he had been whacked by mob boss Meyer Lansky for spending too much on his Flamingo resort. However, recently, the family of a now-deceased Slavic truck driver claimed that he killed Siegel to stop him from... murdering the husband of the woman he was sleeping with. A complicated legacy, indeed.
