Emile "Bob" Zaniboni never came home one cold winter's night, over half a
century ago. The next morning, his family discovered him murdered in the Cattle
Car Restaurant he owned and operated alongside New York State Route 22, between
Pawling and Wingdale. He'd been shot three times with a .22 caliber weapon, and
his restaurant had been ransacked.
To this day, the crime remains unsolved.
In this episode, the Murder Sheet takes a closer look at this cold case. We also
speak with Abbott Brant, who covered the crime as part of the Poughkeepsie
Journal's deep dive into area cold cases.
