Federal authorities do not believe they will find more bodies at a reputed mob graveyard in Queens where the FBI recently discovered the remains of two Bonanno crime-family bosses who disappeared two decades ago, The Post has learned.
Sources said the FBI will turn off their bulldozers and backhoes and halt digging at an industrial Ozone Park lot as early as tomorrow after a grisly 2 1/2-week search for alleged murder victims.
Sources said the bodies being sought included John Favara, a Queens man who accidentally ran over and killed one of John Gotti’s sons in 1980 – and then vanished.
Two mob turncoats, including Sal Vitale, the former Bonanno underboss, told the feds they could find as many as 20 bodies at the lot. The FBI has recovered what they believe are the remains of Dominick “Big Trin” Trinchera and Philip “Philly Lucky” Giaccone, who were allegedly murdered at the behest of former Bonanno chieftain Joseph Massino in 1981 as part of an internal power struggle.
“We think that’s it at the lot,” one source said, explaining the FBI has dug up most of the lot with heavy equipment.
“One day more, two at the most, and unless something is found, that will be the end,” another source added.
