Summary:  The inside story of the largest unrecovered cash theft in history, a crime that has baffled law enforcement for decades. On December 11, 1978, a daring armed robbery occurred at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, a cash haul of six million dollars. The perpetrators were never apprehended and thirteen people connected to the crime were murdered in homicides that, like the crime itself, remain unsolved to this day. The heist was planned by Jimmy Burke, an associate of the Lucchese crime family, and carried out by several associates. One of those involved in the sensational burglary, Henry Hill, who passed away in 2012, in collaboration with Daniel Simone, describes the robbery with never-before-unveiled details, particulars only known to an insider. In 2013, this story flared up again when five reputed gangsters were charged in connection to the robbery. Legal proceedings for the newly arrested suspects will unfold over the next year, continuing to keep the Lufthansa Airlines heist in the news. Henry Hill, Jr. (1943 - 2012) was a New York City mobster, associated with the Lucchese crime family. In 1980, he became an FBI informant and his testimony helped secure fifty convictions, including that of mob capo Paul Vario and Jimmy Burke on multiple charges. Hill's life story was adapted by Martin Scorsese into the 1990 film Goodfellas, in which Hill was portrayed by Ray Liotta. Genre:  True crime. Other authors:  Simone, Daniel.
