Goodfellas Showed the Couple Shot in the Car. Their Bodies Were Never Found

Goodfellas showed Johnny Roastbeef and his wife shot dead in a pink Cadillac. The real couple were Louis and Joanna Cafora, and what actually happened to them was never put on screen. On March 8, 1979, they got into their Cadillac in Queens and were never seen again. According to Henry Hill's sworn testimony, the car and everything inside it went into an industrial compactor at a Brooklyn scrapyard. Their bodies have never been found. This is the real story behind one of the most chilling scenes in Goodfellas: the Lufthansa heist, Jimmy Burke's one rule for the men around him, the custom Cadillac that broke it, and the seven months in which nine people connected to the robbery died or disappeared. Louis Cafora had shared a prison cell with Burke. He knew exactly what happened to people who created problems. He ordered the car anyway. And he told his wife everything.
