In what an attorney calls ''a Sopranos-type story,'' a college student is believed to be buried with two mobsters at a Long Island site where the FBI is digging.
The Pace University student, 21-year-old Carmine Gargano Jr., disappeared in 1994 after leaving his family's Brooklyn home.
Informants told authorities the undergrad was killed in a revenge plot aimed at his cousin, a member of the Luchese crime family involved in a dispute with a Colombo associate.
Since Wednesday, an FBI team working with police has been scouring an area of East Farmingdale they believe is the mob burial ground.
