The date was June 20,
1947. Benjamin “Bugsy”
Siegel sat in the living
room of the home he shared
with Virginia Hill in Beverly
Hills. Late that night, Siegel was
shot several times and died
on the couch as he read the
newspaper.
Siegel had recently opened
the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas
and his associates suspected he
was skimming money. However,
many theories exist as to why he
was murdered. Had he been
involved in a love triangle between
Virginia Hill and another
mobster? Or had he upset the
wrong people involved in the race
wire? There were so many motives
involved, the police captain
in Beverly Hills said: “So many
people wanted to kill him that we
don’t know where to start looking."
The Mob Museum will host a
panel discussion on the life and
death of Bugsy Siegel on Tuesday,
March 24, 2015, at 7 p.m. with
Larry Gragg, professor and author
on Siegel’s life, and Warren Hull,
filmmaker and historian. The Mob
Museum's Geoff Shumacher will
moderate the discussion on the
various theories surrounding the
circumstances of Siegel's death.

Money about the T-men, the

bottom of some of the most
high-profile cases and put
away notorious mobsters,

kidnapping.
