Cops: Female Mafia Informant Dissolved In Acid

Woman allegedly slain by former partner; family angry she cooperated with Italian authorities

A mafia informant who disappeared nearly a year ago was tortured and her body dissolved in acid by her former partner and other family members angry that she had cooperated with authorities, Italian police said Monday.

The woman, 35-year old Lea Garofalo, was forced onto a truck carrying 50 liters of acid, interrogated by her abductors and later killed in a field near Milan in the night between Nov. 24 and Nov. 25, 2009, investigators told reporters.

Four people were arrested and another two, including Garofalo's former partner, Carlo Cosco, were served arrest warrants while already in jail.

How can you fit a body into only 50 liters of liquid? That's maybe 12 gallons. But I'm not volunteering to try it out.
