Lufthansa heist
The Lufthansa heist was a robbery at John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 11, 1978. An estimated $5 million in cash ($ million today) and $875,000 in jewelry ($ million today) were stolen, making it the largest cash robbery committed on American soil at the time. The robbery was the subject of two television films, ''The 10 Million Dollar Getaway'' and ''The Big Heist'', and is a key plot element in the 1990 film ''Goodfellas''. In July 2015, Rowman and Littlefield published a book titled ''The Lufthansa Heist'' which tells the story of the crime. It was co-authored by Henry Hill. The heist's magnitude made it one of the longest-investigated crimes in the United States: for over 35 years after it happened, the latest arrest associated with it was made in 2014.〔The Guardian, (Alleged mobster Vincent Asaro charged over 1978 'Goodfellas' airport heist ), retrieved on 12 Oct 2015〕
==Planning==
The heist was planned by Jimmy Burke, an associate of the Lucchese crime family, and carried out by several associates. The plot began when bookmaker Martin Krugman told Henry Hill (an associate of Jimmy Burke's) about millions of dollars in untraceable money: American currency flown in once a month from monetary exchanges for military servicemen and tourists in West Germany. The currency would arrive via Lufthansa and was then stored in a vault at Kennedy Airport. The information had come from Louis Werner, a worker at the airport who owed Krugman $20,000 for gambling debts ($ adjusted for inflation) and from his co-worker Peter Gruenwald.〔 Werner and Gruenwald had previously been successful in stealing $22,000 in foreign currency ($ adjusted for inflation) from their employer Lufthansa in 1976.
Louis Werner helped Krugman throughout the planning, even telling him where the robbers should park. A Ford Econoline 150 van would be used to transport the cash and a "crash car" would accompany the van to run vehicular interference should the plot be interrupted and a police chase ensue. Burke decided on Tommy DeSimone, Joe Civitello Sr., Louis Cafora, Angelo Sepe, Tony Rodriguez, Joseph M. Costa, and Burke's son Frank James Burke as inside gunmen. Paolo LiCastri, a Sicilian shooter, was later included as a representative of the Gambino crime family, which had been promised a tribute payment to sanction the crime. Parnell "Stacks" Edwards was a black associate of Burke's gang who served as a "gofer" and chauffeur, and he was also included to dispose of the van used in the heist.
Once everyone was together, Jimmy told Lucchese family underboss Paul Vario, who sent his son Peter to collect his "end" of the loot. Vinne Asaro, the Gambino family's crew chief at the airport, would also be owed money because Burke, a Lucchese associate, was performing the robbery on territory belonging to the Gambino family.
