#HMMM... The 60-year-old murder mystery is still unsolved and still open by the #YonkersPoliceDepartment....
YONKERS HISTORY: Former Teamsters Local 456 President #JohnAcropolis, who was shot to death in Yonkers in August 1952.
Acropolis was orphaned at age three and raised in a series of charitable institutions.
He attended Colgate University where he played on the basketball team.
Acropolis became interested in union issues while working as a truck driver during summer break from college.
He joined Local 456 and was first elected as a union officer in the early 1940s.
After becoming president of Local 456, Acropolis challenged the The Genovese crime family over its control of certain garbage carting contracts in the suburbs of New York City.
He expanded the size of his local to more than 2,000 members. Acropolis was killed in 1952 by an unknown assailant who fired two bullets into his head.
The case has not been solved.
BUT, BUT, BUT.... In October, 2008, the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the Yonkers, New York Police Department, demanding access to the department's file on the investigation into the death of Acropolis.
LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE: The City of Yonkers fought the lawsuit, claiming that because the #YonkersPD investigation was still technically active, the #YPD case file was not subject to Freedom of Information laws.....
