Workers find ‘skull’ encased in concrete at Boston pier, sparking mob hit fears

Construction workers at a Boston pier were shocked last week when they discovered what appeared to be a human skull encased in concrete. The discovery was made while workers were sawing into a concrete portion of the pier, with photos showing the distinct shape of a human skull protruding from the broken material.

The find sparked speculation that the victim of a mob hit, possibly linked to notorious mobster Whitey Bulger, had been uncovered. The workers, who were taken aback by the discovery, immediately contacted the police. The apparent skull was bagged and sent to a medical examiner for analysis, leading to hopes of solving a cold case or opening a new investigation.

Former Massachusetts state trooper Todd McGhee commented on the discovery, suggesting a possible connection to organized crime due to the remote location chosen to conceal the skull. Given Boston’s history of organized crime and notorious figures like Whitey Bulger, the theory of a mob hit was not far-fetched.

However, the intrigue surrounding the discovery was short-lived. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner announced that the skull was actually fake, leaving investigators puzzled about how it ended up encased in concrete at the pier. The mystery remains unsolved, with no further information available about any ongoing investigation into the incident.

The discovery of the fake skull at the Boston pier serves as a reminder of the city’s rich history of organized crime and the enduring fascination with unsolved mysteries. While the initial speculation of a mob hit was proven to be false, the incident has left many wondering about the true origins of the fake skull and how it came to be encased in concrete at the pier.
