On January 10, 1971, New York State Police responded to the former Cattle Car Restaurant, located on State Route 22 between the Towns of Wingdale and Pawling, to investigate an apparent homicide.
The restaurant appeared to be in disarray; bar stools had been turned over and coin boxes had been removed from the jukebox and cigarette machines, police say. An investigation revealed that Zaniboni died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. Zaniboni was last seen at the restaurant the night before his murder by another employee.
The Murder Sheet, a podcast that looks into the phenomenon of restaurant homicides, takes a new deep dive into Zaniboni s murder in its latest episode.
