Chicago hold over LV was so strong they even had the lake pulling hits for them.

A guy on a non-mob board I read made a living betting sports in Las Vegas decades ago and he's convinced a lot of these Lake Mead bodies are suicides as he knew a lot of gamblers who made it known they were killing themselves only to disappear. I guess Mead was an obvious place to do it. Just his anecdotal belief.

The only one I'm fairly certain was a mob hit is the man in a barrel. Most (or all) of the others were probably drownings.

Any list of missing people to narrow down who that person in a barrel is?

I've seen a list of around five people who went missing during the heyday of mob power in Vegas. Scott Burnstein might have a Gangsterreport article on it with names of potential victims.

They didn't pay their shylocks. That's why they disappeared.
