On this day, 21 April 1986, The once-notorious Lexington Hotel in Chicago received a visitor, in the person of Geraldo Rivera,
along with a camera crew. A record audience watched as the long-sealed vault of racketeer, Al Capone was opened during
a much-hyped TV special. Guess what? All that Geraldo found were broken bottles and no trace that Capone and his gang had
ever stashed anything there.
